Kinda dissapointed. I really wished to give this a higher rating, but...for me, nothing could match up to episode 10. After ep 10, nothing worth seeing really happened. The ending seems rushed and the events quite out of place because...you know, nothing romantic happens between them after the scenes in episode 10...the engagement story seems neverending, Irie is the coldest man on Earth, and all of a sudden he hears of Kotoko and Kin-chan and realizes she's the love of his life. the rain scene is really nice...but they didn't have to wait 6 episodes for that.I just wish they would've used those 6 episodes better. they had plenty of space to develop what was left of the story.
other than that, I enjoyed it because of the actors. I think most of them managed to bring the characters to life. The guy who played Irie did a great job in portraying him. kotoko's screaming was a little bit annoying, but I guess...that's how the character is supposed to be anyway. but she still managed to draw a line between being "a bit silly" and "totally annoying". She was still cute. Aaaand the mother...just insane lol. she added so much colour too.
but I'm still frustrated that they messed things up near the end.
