Hello again everyone, Here we are again bound to do another review for another quite interesting anime. This time we'll talk about a Light Novel/Manga/Anime called "Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu" that had well 2 anime seasons. Let's start up with a quick synopsys : Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu centers around Yūto Ayase and Haruka Nogizaka. Yūto is seemingly ordinary, but Haruka is attractive, intelligent, and rich, which prompts other students to idolize her and even give her French nicknames like "Nuit Étoile" (The Silver Star of the Night) and "Lumière du Clavier" (The Shining Princess on the Piano). One day, Yūto wanders into the school library in order to return a book and accidentally stumbles upon Haruka's deepest, darkest secret: she is a diehard fan of anime and manga, in other words, a regular otaku. Promising Haruka to keep this a secret, Yūto becomes her advisor and confidente of some sort and hangs out with her more, though earning some viciously envious glares from his fellow schoolmates. The story is quite interesting and configure itself as a Harem Comedy with a little part of Romance/Drama. The execution is quite good even thought the anime seems a little dragging up in some parts. (especially when Nogizaka is involved) The characters are many and all quite nice. The only one I hate is the main heroine Nogizaka, I can't really find myself to like her stupid attitude. There is no growth in the characters, but that's pretty reasonable considering the target and genre of the series. The graphical department is high quality (each of the girls are very well defined and their animations looks pretty realistic) and the animation is consistent in all the episodes. The seiyuu involved are pretty famous like "Mamiko Noto" or "Eri Kitamura". Opening and Ending themes were decent, but nothing to get excited for. My favourite character is Shiina Amamiya, she's so cute trying in any way to catch the heart of the protagonist and failing everytime. (And that is a good thing as she's gonna be with me!!! ) Concluding this is an anime I suggest to everyone to see if they are into comedy/romance. There are tons of reference from other anime so you have to be a little prepared to catch them all. But it's a good pick to let someone to start up watching anime as fanservice isn't disturbing and the reference aren't important to plot anyway.   That's all for this quick review and for today. See you soon, feal87
