Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu
English: Today We Start Our Love
Sypnosis:
Tsubaki is a girl who loves making her younger sister's hair pretty every morning, but she doesn't think that kind of style suits herself! On the day of her High School Opening Ceremony, after she failed to be the top student (who usually makes the ceremony speech), she finds herself sitting next to the actual top student of the 1st years, the worst rude guy ever, Kyouta. Because of his saying bad things to her she purposely cuts his hair. Kyota requests that Tsubaki pay him back "with her body" but Tsubaki pays him back by fixing his hair and making it even shorter! Afterwards, Kyota unexpectedly kisses Tsubaki and swears he'll make her his woman.

Ok..so, after I went from the mall, i logged in to this computer, opened tumblr and http://animekiwi.com/. My eyes constricted right after I saw Kyou koi wo hajimemasu on the updated/new episode category. All I think of was the two Tsubaki and the manga that always left us hanging, now with the chapter which was all about the competition. I definitely believed that the anime' was good because the drawing style and the characters(even if it may be compared to other manga) can really catch the attention of the anime lovers. A manga lover like me automatically gave it a chance. So, when it was all here, I was really shocked and excited, even if i already knew that it will be release anytime soon(no time to check the sched).
I clicked play and I felt a little sadness. It was so fast at first, that I already saw the classroom scene that was suppose to be on the latter part of the future episodes. The animation didn't gave a proper life in the characters. I am picturing Tsubaki Himino as more emotional because the actions might come into life, but it was like a series of colored-printed pages of the manga compiled together in a slideshow. I know, you observed that also. If you haven't red the manga, you may have a hard time understanding the first few scenes. You may lost on a lot of background information that just couldn’t fit into this episode(well, i think that's what the creator thought because of low budget) but surprisingly deep. The other downside was that the creators didn’t really get a good voice actor for the lead male. If you were watching with subtitles, you might notice it. If you're a japanese, you may exclude this element, but English-speaking watchers will observe the voice of the male lead, first and foremost. Like, Sakura Kinimoto was a favorite because her voice (from the dubber) made it as cute and lovable. Tsubaki, Kyouta is a strong character so I think he deserves a voice that fits his personality. For the female lead?... hm... nevermind! anime' creators always puts a good voice with that stereotype kind of female lead.(you know what I mean). (laughs)
The visual drawing was good, the sketch was the same as the manga (tsubaki was still hot.hihi)
To sum up, well.. let's not judge when it is still starting. Let's give it a chance. ;) For the first time watchers of this anime' without reading its manga, don't judge it so fast. Futhermore, you can start reading the manga series to be able to familiarize yourself with the story. Other scenes that was not included in the anime' may help you and can be one of your favorite scenes in the series. When it comes to the soundtrack.... excellent!
;)
what do you think?
