Okay, this is my first review >< so please excuse me if it isn't good, btw I will only do reviews on animes that I enjoy. I just finished Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou, it was splendid. I loved how the characters progressed like how at the beginning Kawai barley even talked to Usa but as time went on they slowly began to talk more and the love story took air. This anime had a lot of funny moments, which made this a great experience. I specially enjoyed how Kawai got jealous, when Usa's former middle school classmate appeared. For me Shirosaki was one of the most enjoyable characters, he was unique. The art was nice, it was quite colorful and changed depending on the aura of the characters. I didn't really focus on the sound but it gave a massive effect on the anime. All the characters were grea…

This show was a first for me, it was the first time I read the entire manga before watching the anime. As a result, I enjoyed it far more than I would have otherwise. I now recommend always searching out a well-translated mange before watching an anime whenever possible as it adds a lot of depth to the anime. Its not like it is here in the West where the movie or show versions are adaptations and highly altered. So far, I have found that anime really strives to bring the manga to life and tell the story as richly and accurately as possible, with frequent nods to story and character elements that can't be covered.
I watched this a while ago and am still following the anime so apologies if its a little vague. The story is a little typical with a boy at the mercy of circumstance finding him…

I always love to watch this kind of show, comedy combined with romance is one of my favorite genre, and Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou has found it self a place deep inside me.
A stand alone episodes is always familiar as for these kind of genre, almost no core story but even so it still attractive. As we now, if it's full comedy anime then it'll never far from unique "crazy" personalities from each character, and this show are "loaded" of that point. With all those variant "unique" personalities, you won't be bored even for just a second. Pervert behavior and echi content are still in perfect portion and enrich the entire show with a bit mature jokes.
Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou was also been made with a great graphic and effect. The animation are detailed, smooth, and bright. The design of the…

Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou is probably one of the top comedy animes of 2014. its a good romantic comedy, slice of life anime that will keep you wanting more at the end of every episode.
the story begins with Kazunari Usa, a high school 1st year who ends up living in a boarding house due to his parents working overseas. he finds out that the girl of his dreams Kawai Ritsu, also lives in the same complex, but just when he think things are looking up,he soon realizes that his other roommates are anything but normal.
The animation for Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou is rather average, nothing really sticks out as good or bad. But it looks very good. I definitely applaud the character designs, they are very well-done.
the characters in this anime are all really different and each have unique stories.…

I'm not good at introduction so I will start straight from review
Story:
From synopsis many users can estimate the story is nothing original and new. It is told from MC Usa Kazunari's point of view. It's done pretty much stand alone (exept for first 3 episode when viewers are introduced by charatcters), what I like is that episodes are kind of divided in 2 parts which are dealing with different conflict, so story proceeds fast in good pacing.Story is not complex but for lover of slice of life genre that I am still fun and entertaining. Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou is comedy genre anime but nothing over the top so don't expect comedy that will crack you up, I found comedy in anime cute and made me grin but not laugh. It has tasteful emount of fanservice, even girls wouldn't mind it (I didn't).…

Its capturing the viewer with its special story. Of course the story progress slowly but the reason why is that it gives you time to think of how it will maybe progress and the characters are very unique to the story. The art is amazing and beautiful. Even the voice actors are a perfect match for the character. It may become slightly less interesting in the middle of the story but it gets more amusing afterwards. If you already have watched it before you are going to want to watch it again.

Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou is a good light romantic and little comedy themed anime. The story is very unoriginal, stereotypical and blatant. Nonetheless it's a good romance anime that people can enjoy watching, get a good giggle out of, and feel happy about. Of course, I love almost all romance anime, so if you don't like romance anime, then this anime probably isn't going to be that appealing to you.
Anyways, the plot is very simple. It's about a high school freshman, Kazunari Usa who movies into a boarding house and it turns out that the love of his life, Ritsu Kawai is living there too. The story focuses on the development of the relationship between these two. Basically Ritsu loves books (a little too much), and is easily bothered/annoyed with other people, especially those that talk to…

English isn't my native language - I appologize for my mistakes beforehand. I just finished watching "Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou" (yeah, I know, it's August and I finished watching anime from spring season... I really don't have enough free time ;| ) and decided to make a short review of it.
This show is one of those love comedies which decided to take a different approach to romance and... failed. At least in terms of that type of romance I was looking for. But let's not rush, first things first.
Story
The protagonist, Kazunari Usa (though I don't remeber a single time when he wasn't called "Usa-kun"), is a completely average highschooler. Starting this year he'll be living alone... or so he thought. His mother rented a room for him in Kawaisou complex which, as he quckily finds out,…

Mediocrity at best. While it could've been a promising anime, in reality its another anime that doesn't know what it really wants to show and if does something, its usually bad executed.
The story is nothing special, or why would i give it a 5? You know when there are so many ways to make an interesting plot, anime such as this only put it simple from the very first episode and theres no further developing.
The Art. Well, i don't see anything awe inspiring, moving on.
The Sound is forgettable and as mediocre as this anime in general. Can't remember a single track.
Characters. Now this is where it is going very dull. Main character is your average Joe that wants to spend his high school days with a girl and thats his only motive. No back story, no charisma whatsoever. The girl, Ritsu,…

Kazunari Usa is a Japanese high school freshman who finds himself living the dream: his parents are out on work assignment, leaving him to enjoy independent life at a boarding house where he cohabitates with his cute bookworm senpai. Unfortunately for Usa, the other tenants at the Kawai Complex prove to be anything but normal. The title "Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou" ("We Are All From Kawai Complex") is a play on words with the double meaning "We Are All Pitiful," and the residents of the Kawai Complex all exemplify this in different ways. This anime chronicles Usa's misadventures amongst this new group of vexing personalities.
Kawaisou falls squarely into the "slice of life" genre. There's no continuous plot to drag us through the series. It is episodic in nature, with each episode introduci…

Why do I like this series ? NO ECCHI, NO HAREM; SIMPLE SLICE OF LIFE, SIMPLE LOVE STORY . There is not much love, but there's lots of human to human interaction and understanding of humans feelings and emotions and this is what you can expect from a slice of life story. Genuine feelings. Genuine relationships.
i really liked it because ANIME is ahead of MANGA and i dearly wish to know what happened in the story hence it increased value of ANIME more into my eyes.
MANGA is SETUP in very good city >> Which has lot of monumetal and beautiful places and the same you watch in anime hence visual treat. >>> KAWAHARA TOWN, GIFU .
ART: it has really good art. i can compare it to 5 cm per second in many ways. SENTAI FILMWORKS licensed it and this is why it looked me familiar to 5CM PER SECOND. >>…

It's difficult to produce a shoujo romance that doesn't feel rushed, especially within that 12 episode time crunch. With shoujo romances I like to see a nice a steady progression between the two soon to be flowering pairings. That's that's exactly what I got with Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou - it's a shoujo that's not rushed. However it ends at the climax - and without a second season to wrap everything up, the first season is quite pointless.
The story follows a high-schooler named Kazunari Usa as he moves into a boarding house complex, illustrating the unique blossoming relationship he has with fellow roommate, Ritsu Kawai. On top of that we see the connections Kazunari develops as a result from meeting his roommates.
The art and sound is an area where I find this anime excels in. The sou…

Bokura Wa Minna Kawaisou is one of the animes that I was looking forward to in this spring 2014 season
Even though the anime certainly doesn't have anything that is ground breaking, it certainly delivers what it is expected of it and it is certainly not a bad thing.
STORY 7/10
Kawaisou tells us a story about Usa Kazunari, a boy who will start living on an apartment complex called kawaisou, coincidentally an upperclassmen who he fell in love on first sight also lives there. Of course things aren't gonna be easy as Usa has to deal with the other residences and their odd behaviours. The story premise certainly doesn't sound exciting and there is a lot of pitfalls that can make this kind of story to be stagnant. But fortunately, the execution of the story and the dynamic of the characters br…

When I first saw this, I thought that it would be another Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo (shudders). Thank god it wasn't. I would place Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou in the top 5 anime of 2014.
Story [7/10]
Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou is a typical romantic comedy. Most of it is set in a boarding house. You have the main character, Usa, a seemingly normal male, surrounded by "weirdos". Shiro the masochist, Mayumi the woman with crappy taste in men, Sayaka the bitch (lul jk i love her), and the main character's love interest, Ritsu. All in all, it seems to be a rather overused setup. Yet, every week I found myself excited to watch the next episode that aired.
What sets Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou from other dorm life animes is how the story is executed. It's casual. It's relaxed. Everything flows so smo…

When you look at this anime, your first though most likely is "What sets this anime apart from all the other's." I'm here to tell you what that is, and why you should watch this masterpiece of a show.
First of all, don't you hate those shows that try so hard to be something there not. Thankfully, Kawai complex isn't one of them. This show new exactly what it wanted to be and it did it in full swing.
The characters are all different in their own way, and the show just wouldn't have been the same if any one of them weren't there. They were portrayed exactly how they were meant to be, and they never changed throughout the show.
The relationship's throughout the show were developed beautifully. Whether it be dealing with friendship, or romance. They were all handled amazingly. In my perso…

Every now and then when I go out of my way to look for a new romance anime to watch, I can't seem to help but to come across the whole anime "3 in one 1" genre package where romance comes bundle up with comedy and slice of life/school life like it's one of those 3 in 1 instant coffee packets. I mean it's not like I have anything against the two other genres but sometimes I just want to watch something purely romance just like how sometimes I just enjoy drinking coffee without sugar and creamer. But I digress, this genre bundle seems to be more common with animes targeted towards male audiences, rehashing cliches over and over again, building an impression that male targeted romance would not likely subsist without being comical, as to "being in love" is in the eyes of others, that pitiful?…

'Kawai Complex' is like a blend of romcom, adult jokes, anime seinen elements and wackiness. The main character Usa moves into a boarding house, whom coincidentally meets the girl of his love, Ritsu. Unfortunately the rest of the residents consist of a creepy masochist, a bodacious drunk woman and a backstabbing troublesome girl who puts a mask of cheerfulness to lead men on.
Depending on your preferences, you may either like or hate the characters. But the primary focus is based on the relationship of Usa and Kana Hanaz- I mean, Ritsu; a shy, introvert girl who has a love for books and nothing else. Usa on the other hand is like a kinda a semi-beta who gets constantly teased and cannot read situations for LIFE at times. Their relationship is subtle and not forceful - which is nice - howe…

Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou a anime about a random group of people living together while exploring romance.
Story: 7
The story is easily the weakest part of the show but not in a bad way just compared to other parts, as it is well done for a slice of life comedy romance with a SLOW developing romance which could have been fully developed if it was longer like 25 episodes instead of 12 and aside rom the romance the show is just made up of funny moments and cute scenes.
Art: 9
The art of Bokura was very nicely done as it had good detail in aspects both in characters and scenery which was used for the main animation but it does change to Chibi every now and again but is mainly used for funny scenes which is a good thing.
Sound: 9
The opening and ending of the show are very similar and nice to…

If you’ve attended school before, chances are that you’ve gone to a library once whether it’s for studying, research, reading a good book, or just hanging out with a friend. Not unless like you’re Kazunari Usa of course, who happens to wander into the school library not by a chance to dig into a good book but rather seeing a cute girl deep in her thoughts. Seemingly set by destiny and fate, we later learn that Usa also (again by chance) happens to share the same dormitory of this girl. Her name is Ritsu Kawai and here is the enchanting story between these two characters of your normal life.
Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou (aka as The Kawai Complex Guide to Manors and Hostel Behavior) based off the manga of the same name is animated by Brain Base. Coming from the premise, one should expect this…

this is gonna be short and sweet, because, well, to be honest nothing about this anime really warrants in-depth review. its pretty simple and straightforward slice of life about some eccentric characters living in a complex together, mostly focused around our MC who just moved in and quickly develops a crush on a shy bookworm who also lives there.
Story - 6
the story never really feels like it takes off, or perhaps even intended to. while we do slowly see our two romantic leads warm up to each other over the course of the series, the plot never gets very deep and there is little actual progress or romantic payoff. at the end of the day it feels a little like fluff.
