There was not a single voice that didn't fit a character to the tee. Nisekoi is a Shaft show, sure, but it is not definitively so, which comes as a great relief to many, I'd imagine. Sure, you've got Shinbo's signature camera angles and a few strangely elaborate backgrounds (and some intentionally simple ones), but these don't define the show as they might have in Bakemonogatari or Madoka Magica. As I've stated, many fans of the manga were worried that Shaft would take their style too far and that it would detract heavily from the source material, which many believe to be too inherently “normal” to be deflowered by Shaft's hands, but fortunately that was not the case here. However, I think this section deserves more discussion however simply due to the fact that Shaft is at work. Everything is just solid and complement the scenes well. Jokes aside, it's true that there really isn't much to say other than the art is pleasant. Are the girls waifu material? (Alternatively, are the boys husbando material?) If so, 10/10, anime of the year, etc. Typically there's not a whole lot of action going on in high school romantic comedies and harems, so the “Art & Animation” category is really just an “Art & Waifus” rating. I know every harem can get a little ridiculous, and I'm going to criticize it every time. I understand that we don't remember that much from our childhood, but do you really expect me to believe that a person would completely forget nearly every friend he had-not just their faces and names, but their actual existence? Is this where the “main character gets amnesia from an injury” cliché comes in? I realize that this is fiction, but there is a line up to where I'm willing to suspend my disbelief and Nisekoi clearly crosses it. If you're looking for something believable, you won't find anything of the sort here. If it is, then the author did a damn good job because it certainly feels like one. It plays on almost every cliché in the book, from the childhood promise, to the fated encounter, to the downright absurd misunderstandings, even to the freaking beach episode, that I can’t help but think that this is all some elaborate parody of the harem genre. I don't think anybody but the most diehard fans would even bother offering any sort of rebuttal here. The story of Nisekoi is not one of its strong points. The Shaft visuals are capable of turning aįew heads, but they’re never overpowering as they are in many of their other shows, and the story and setting have an inexplicable charm to them despite the fact that literally every character and literally every situation has been done before. And, hey, whatta ya know, it actually works. If you’re not aware with the common stereotypes of anime studios, a frank description of Shaft would be, “They do whatever they want.” Shaft has never been shy of putting their own. When Nisekoi was slated for an anime production by studio Shaft, the fans of the manga were torn between elation that it was actually being adapted and complete terror that Shaft would be doing it. Is it possible to like something that is completely unoriginal? According to Nisekoi, yes, it is.
