Riceblade's Maison Ikkoku Tv Review
Rated:
The animation was quite original with the female lead character starting the animation as a young widow with a tragic past and the male lead character as a retainee living in an Inn with a bunch of crazy alcoholics who party everynight IN HIS ROOM. The anime gives a very warm and family feel and I really enjoyed watching the main character, Godai try to chase his alcoholic Inn mates out of his room in his pursuit to win the woman of his dreams. The humor is very good too since his Inn mates always use him as a scapegoat and ‘torture’ him whenever they have the opportunity and the fact that there are so many misunderstandings give the humor and romance a very friendly but yet fresh touch to the story.

watched this while growing up. great relationship development plot. although old fashioned and styled, it's full of warmth fill with touching moments every now and then. main characters are very romantic indeed.
minayuri rated 5.00:I'm not too sure about this series, many of the adult characters are lacking in maturity, and after seeing Kimagure Orange Road, junior high school characters Madoka Ayukawa and Kyosuke Kasuga show a bit more maturity.
archangel12345 rated 8.00:Pictures: the drawing style is lucid and clear, details and backgrounds are acceptable.
Character Portrayal: impressive, but can be improved by exaggration. The central traits of a character is fully displayed, but to some extent the portrayal lacks direct action or mental activity.
Story and Plot: the setting of the story is good, but too many coincidences in this anime may result in boredom and lacking of interest. Of course, without the coincidences the story is less interesting, i said this because i think a good anime need to develope its plot more smoothly and naturally, instead of piling and patching up.
