The very 1st anime I have ever watched whole. I will have to say it gives me a feeling when I am in my 1st and puppy love. Mashiro has the exact personality which makes you want to care and look after her. Definitely worth a watch!

When i first started watching Sakurasou, I was like "Oh this is just another school guy and awkward girl type Anime." After a couple of episodes I was getting really into it, I was realizing it was much more than just an awkward girl and guy type of anime + all of the house members are becoming a lot more developed and getting into the story. At the final episodes, every single episode had me crying because of how the characters got attached to me. It literally became my second family, it was like I was living the happiness and sadness with the characters. In the end, you can't just build your opinion on Sakurasou only by reading reviews, you just have to watch it for yourself and feel every emotion the Anime will offer you. Deffinitely my personal best romantic, comedy, slice of life Anime.

I have to admit this anime is probably one of the best anime I’ve ever watched!!! Though the characters doesn’t really stood out and almost like the typical characters you’ll see on any school theme romcom anime. But I’ll give it all to the story and the meaning behind it.

The way the creator posed on how the world functions for us, is supposedly realistic. How the geniuses and the normals are the same, but so much not. And how in life for some things doesn’t always go ones way.  But that doesn’t mean friendship cannot be fought for. The characters also had some realistic view of the world, and funny personalities! The comedy had done well to make the story not all too serious and boring. All in all, it was an awesome story! Greatly recommended!

Sakurasou was an anime which managed to hold my interest despite its fairly average storyline. It never made me bored, but I never went beyond feeling lukewarm about each week's episode arriving. Something was missing in it for me, and I'm not quite sure what that was. Not a bad show by any means, though.

Story: Basically, a school/slice of life story about some pretty crazy characters, most of whom have talents that set them apart from "normal" people. It utilizes typical plotlines [school festival, foreign friend arriving to take someone home, threat of their home being shut down] to explore the relationships of the characters vis a vis their dreams and aspirations. While the story didn't stand out as above average, it was very very relatable. Big themes were talent vs. hard work and the outcomes of success/failure, unrequitted love, and friendship.

Animation and Sound: The voice acting was good and added to the personality and distinctiveness of each character. Given the serious themes, I thought the art style actually detracted from the reality of the story, but it was pleasant to look at.

Characters: Each one was unique and interesting. Character development happened, but it was more in a resolving-of-situations way and less in an actual deep change in beliefs sort of way.

For some reason, I can't quite bring myself to give this one a full 7. Its parts were good, but the sum of the parts was lacking something. Maybe it was too relatable to be realistic/too realistic to be relatable, maybe the art really jarred with my sense of the point of the story, maybe the characters' were too frustrating, maybe I'm just crazy.

Recommended for fans of "crazy people in a group" stories.
