Yup, I would still be covering Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun here, despite the thick backlogs I accumulated due to several reasons. This series also never fails to be a reminder that I should watch my anime thrice before laying down any judgment about it. In any case, I’m enjoying this series ...The post Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun 01 appeared first on The dere-moe Project.

Yoshida Family Matters As afraid as I was Tonari would somehow lose its charm from the first few episodes, I must yet again rejoice at the fact that it isn’t. In this fifth episode, we once again get pretty interesting character development, on top of some revelations about Haru, his family and his past. And [...]

I guess that’s the end of the Yuzan stuff? We still don’t know what happened between him and Haru…I assume it was some intense form of sibling rivalry, but there’s no confirmation yet. Oh well…he turns out to be trying to help Haru regardless (or was he really just helping himself? could be…). Shizuku mentions [...]

Well well what to we have here? A rival? Surely not. There really wasn’t much going on this episode of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, which I believe is the first time that’s happened with the series so far.  You have to understand that prior to watching this episode I watched the recent episodes of Sukitte Ii … Continue reading »

「吉田くんちの事情」 (Yoshida Kunchi no Jijou) "Yoshida Family Matters" Today's episode wasn't all sweet as Yuuzan would like, but rather shook the foundations of Mitty and Haru's relationship. Also, enter Hanazawa Kana.

As far as shojo romance series go, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun is definitely different. Just like Sukitte Ii na yo‘s 3rd episode set it apart from a long list of shojo anime, this episode of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun arguably did the same thing.  Unlike the former series mentioned, this series maintains the more innocent shojo feeling whilst messing … Continue reading »

So it’s a brother after all…Yuzan acts pretty similarly to Haru, but a lot more carefree. I was actually expecting the more dark “what are you doing here?” reaction from Haru…wasn’t expecting him to just run away. But he still seems to have some resentment for his brother…an odd way to react. I mean, the [...]

Nuisance & Summer Break Having college to blame from my lateness in episodic coverage, I will now talk about episodes 3 and 4 of Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun. Episode 3 was largely dedicated to introducing the side characters. We’d seen a lot of Natsune last episode, but we now see the group get together with the [...]

Oh god I haven’t written a post in like three months. How do I WordPress again? Anyways, I’m writing this as a post because I didn’t want to just jam it into one sentence and post it on Twitter. There’s still not a whole lot to say, but I think it deserves a few short [...]
