Death’s Notes and Thoughts

Based on a shoujo manga by Maki Minami serialised in Hana to Yume. When Hikari was little, she and her father liked to watch pro wrestling, and she became very good at it. She was the pride of her family until one day she was introduced to Kei, the son of her father’s friend. He instantly defeated her in wrestling, and started what would become Hikari’s major ambition to one day beat him. To do this she enrolled in Kei’s school, an ultra elite school that costs her father a lot of money. This unusual school created classes according to grades, and the top seven students become members of the “SA”. They have their own building, and can optionally attend class. Hikari is usually the only one who does so, since she desperately wants to beat Kei with test scores. The members of the “SA” have been close friends since their first year. (yep, like u guessed, i stole it from aniDB again^^) Hmm, special it says in the title but still its a romance comedy. It have its good points and its unusual points, like having that extreme rivality between Takishima (Kei-chan) and Hikari. Sure u say we got other anime with that but its somehow different. Funny was that the other characters made their proposal way earlier then our main couple and sometimes u got nice “games” that get played with the main chars. But they dragged it way too much out of my taste, they could have them come together much earlier so we could have a bit fun with they as a couple. The chars are an interesting mix, thats again one of the better points. You get a Animal Lover, the girl who is all over Hikari, the boy who trys to play the violien but its horrible at it and aside from that rather shy, his silbing? (i think she was, i forgot already, had a lil gap between the last episodes^^) that wish to sings but her singing have the impact of a small nuclear strike (no joke, u see why i call it that when u see the animation), the dude that looks kinda homeless and always is after something to eat, and our main stars, Takishima, super rich and sucessor to a big company group, and Hikari, the compared to the rest pretty poor but hard working girl, and have a constant fight with Takishima. Its an intresting mix, that have to withstand much bad blood and maintain their friendship. It becomes pretty deep (not just because of the building of couples) but that gets explained later in the series^^. I probably spoiled a lot, and i wanna apolpogize for that. If u’re into this topic, or just need a filler u can try it. Some episodes i suggest to leave out, at least i considered them not important for the story and way too cheesy. Seems i’m not that easy with such stuff anymore^^.
