When I first started watching this anime, I immediatly concluded that it must be one of the stereotypical shoujo, romance animes where the girl falls for the popular guy and some where through the whole thing he dicides he loves her too and they get together. Okay, so this is one of those popular animes' that is always recomended for whatever reason, whether it's for love or hate or somewhere in between. Well, I hope this helps you guys in whatever way. It really needs to be appreciated for what it is and how it adds to the anime all in all. The art itself is not very amazing, however, I wouldn't say it was terrible. It really is a very cute, and lovable anime. The cute, romantic scenes really are those that are easily stuck in your mind and wander there, waiting for the day dreaming session to begin. It provides the story with a lighthearted feel - which the anime is - and is always a good one to watch when down in the dumps.īut this anime is not called 'romantic' for nothing. Every episode is almost like a story in itself but that isn't a disadvantage. In this case, it was an earthquake.Īnyway, I wouldn't say the anime has a strict plot line. The plot line to this anime is fairly stereotypical of shoujo, romances where the not so popular girl loves the totally popular guy but he turns her down, then something happens to corrupt everything and they end up together. And, you know what? I'm not going to argue with that. I suppose this is one of those cute, romantic anime's which everyone loves. All in all, the anime does have it's own unique and exciting qualities. The colour and effects added in the anime really enhance the romantic moments and the hilarious moments are made better with the characters voices. Although, this may be true, the anime does, no doubt, make up for it's negatives. Also, in the english dubbed version, the words are translated differently and so the impact is sometimes altered. This really swayed me a little towards the origianl manga rather than the anime. However, on the negative side, there are a few, really heart-melting scenes that feature in the manga that are either non-existant or altered in the anime. But, neither, is it that bad in the manga, I suppose. It doesn't contain too many sexual references as the manga and the sad moments are not as cry-your-heart out. The anime, in comparison, is a little more light hearted. Simply picture two guys fighting over a girl and there, you have the basic gist of the story, however, the little twists that are involved make the story more enjoyable and unexpected. The story itself is not strickly "shoujo"-ish, I suppose, but it is not, in the slightest, the more original plot. The art in the manga is much more refined than the anime, as would be expected, and the expression of love is definatly more noticeable than in the anime. The manga itself is one that is a definate heart stealer with all its fluttery, beautiful moments and its heartbreaking moments, not to mention the times when you simply want to laugh out loud (trying not to type "LOL" - very challenging). In the manga, the emotions are much more intense and the romantic scenes really get those butterflies flying. Peach Girl, in my perspective, is one of, if not, favourite romance manga/anime.
