Seeing as I'm patiently waiting for Sukitte Iinayo to download, I might as well relay my thoughts... Shoujo has taken a backseat as far as anime adaptations have been concerned, so I was keen to pick up this one, alongside Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun. However, unlike the latter that is mostly comedic due to the characters (I'm looking at you, Haru), Sukitte Iinayo is shoujo drama at its best. The drama is really thick with this one, love triangle and all (or potentially quadangle if this latest episode is any indictor). It's the type of thing you'd expect from a Korean live action. In this regard, it's kind of refreshing that they didn't include any comedy because there's a sense of realism that's often absent in anime. It's not even like Nana where the characters occasionally go into chibi form when saying something humourous. There's nothing like that at all. So, yeah, it's pretty good and the characters are likeable, especially the female protagonist. She's very believable and sincere, and this comes across particularly well in the anime.
