ItaKiss

PEEAAAKKK! Highly satisfying way to end the cour, but wait, there's more! I rewatched this a dozen times, but no matter how many times, this was still one of the best ever! The tone of this ep was intensifying and emotional at the same time. No words can describe how wonderful this ep was. The flashbacks were great and literally have my eyes flowing. The pacing was crazy, but to sum it all up until this ep was perfect!

Naoki, you've totally done it! That was a beautiful and strong question with conviction. That was the ultimate cliffhanger! The ep was back in its thrilling and heart-fluttering moments and was focused on Kotoko and Naoki. The romance and comedy was perfect in this one. Can't contain my excitement for the next ep.

That was a public declaration coming from an unexpected character. A little cringey for me, but that was a satisfying way to end the ep. Felt bad for Kotoko, and also the issue was quite relatable in real life between married couples. The tone was emotionally heavy and draining, but the ending scene totally wiped it away.

Oh my, that cliffhanger ending! This ep has a lot going on, with the pace slow at first, but eventually, all is well, and it comes back right again at that ending. The twist after twist was unpredictable, even though I rewatched it a few times. That dog has a weird and funny face, though.

This ep was troublesome as the plot was progressing to another level. Glad there will be a new character that will shake Kotoko and Naoki's relationship. The dilemma of Kotoko was felt in that ending scene, though. And have to give credit to Jinko's VA. Such an impressive and funny voice to pull off.

This classic series was one of the underrated anime out there, but it is one in my top 5 rom-com, slice-of-life, drama anime because of its school-adult-workplace-setting. I can't remember how many times I rewatched ItaKiss since the late 2000s! I kept on aging and getting emotional, but this anime is truly a masterpiece as time goes by. I felt the nostalgia of watching this with the OP and EDs, BGMs, visuals, animation, art style, and its plot. One of a kind! Kotoko x Naoki fever!

This was a filler ep, or maybe I think it's an OVA-like watch. The tone was lighthearted at first, but as the plot progressed, it became chaotic and playful. The entire ep was mixed with comedic scenes, which made it perfect for this family-oriented ep. Have a bunch of hilarious acts by Kotoko here, but the ending scene was a great watch. I think the previous ep was perfect to end the series.

The time skips were a guessing game. No idea how many since the big revelation. I really liked Kotoko's expressions, sooo funny. But what I hate were the unexpected hits and blows and those were literally becoming a usual sight now in the series. It was refreshing to see the old gang once again against Kotoko's toxic circle of friends. Well, that ominous cliffhanger was something to look forward to.

The pacing was noticeably dragged for too long and focused on the hospital situations. I think there will be more, as the Oba-san and Keita's patient were still there. The spotlight in this ep was entirely about Nobuhiro. Other than that, I got tired of watching it and possibly one of the least fave in this series. But glad to hear Romi Park's voice once again, though.

This ep was probably my least favorite of all. The pacing literally went slower while the highlight was mainly on Motoki in the first half. Also, the plot was narrative-driven and was quite dragged long into the second half, with the pacing much slower than the first. Many new characters appeared that would keep the arc until the end, and that time skip was too fast. Have a hunch of who's that mystery blonde at the end.

Missing Jinko and Satomi particularly in this ep, though. Kotoko needed them so badly in this kind of situation. At first, the scenes were as funny as the previous ep with the medical-related matters, and I felt worried about Keita. He reminded me of Kinnosuke with his persistent way of handling things. The plot was dragging, but it's nice to see how Naoki handles this jealousy thing.

This was an absorbing episode. Every scene was thrilling and hilarious, and the pace was just right. At first, I thought that the pacing was slow, with the addition of a new set of characters and a whole new arc to start with. But as the plot thickens, the pacing gradually gets nice with how the story goes on. The twist and turns between Kotoko and Naoki were exciting to watch, and that cliffhanger was rather compelling.

This ep's spotlight was on Kinnosuke and Chris. The tone was in denial at first, but as the plot progresses, there have some sparks going on. Oba-san's false alarm was also an early celebration for the family. But as a viewer, I also wanted that to happen, though the pacing was just too fast in relation to that. Chris reminded me of Kotoko in that sudden act, though. Such strong women they were.

Another peak romance! Glad that this ep didn't drag long for two or more eps because it pisses me off only in this one ep. I felt the frustrating tone, disappointment, and disturbance this part has to offer. Just impressed by Oba-san's consistent presence anytime and anywhere. And that wake-up call, highly satisfying!

Iyaaa~ my heart! This was extremely super fast, wasn't it? As I said, I rewatched this a dozen times, but I still can't get enough of it! The pacing was fast-forward, everything passed by so quickly. Oba-san manifested all of those and orchestrated to take action so smoothly. Thinking it's only the 14th ep but the way it was, it felt like a season finale. OMG! Peak!

Kiyaaa! That cliffhanger! This was the most romantic ep by far, and that plot twist by Yuuki! I rewatched this a few times, but it was still a heart-fluttering moment to reminisce. The tone was emotional, and that gloomy atmosphere was added to convey the best feeling possible. The new ED was calming and great, and the visuals of it say it all.

This ep was truly worthy! The pacing was a bit slow, but it didn't affect the outcome of the plot's progression. Kin-chan was the man! Both him and Kotoko's dedication were astounding, worthy of crediting them. Yuuko caught up in mischief was hilarious, too. That somber music playing was great to convey that sad scene, and that cliffhanger caught me by surprise.

Another peak episode with a wholesome tone. The roller-coaster ride of emotions was perfectly played out. The gloomy mood in the first half was perfectly felt in the rainy weather. The events were quite unexpected where Kotoko was in. The second half has its romantic and emotional side as well, mixed with comical acts. And the BGM on the drifting apart scenes was perfect!

Peak comedy! I think this was the best hilarious ep so far. Sudou's tactics were sooo funny, along with Kotoko on the sidelines. And that ending scene was picture-perfect! The tone was comical and sentimental at the same time with heart-fluttering moments.

The ep was a total delulu. The creativity of the imaginations was extremely high that it was exaggerated in a funny way. The plot was predictable, but Kinnosuke's comical acts were random and resulted in total annoyance. The flashback playing was a waste of precious minutes, but the tone was sentimental. OMG, that shocking epic scene! The animation and visuals in this ep also improved a bit.
