She volunteered to cook for him and clean his apartment.. pretty much becoming his housewife simply because he was a nice guy who gave her an umbrella. Or how the story portrays it she went damn bitch you live like this? after seeing his dirty flat. There is no unique concept or gimmick it is just two characters falling in love with no drama what is not to like? Romantic comedies are some of the hardest to review. What makes a good romantic comedy to you? Is needles melodrama required? Does it need to be funny but balanced enough for the romance to flow? Does it just need to be wholesome and youll forgive any mediocre qualities as long as it makes you feel good? All is fine but I believe the core of a good romcom should be the main characters if you like the duo and enjoy their characterization interactions and progression. 660https://static1.cbrimages.com/wordpress/wpcontent/uploads/2023/01/angelnextdoorep3mahiruandamaneeatingcake.jpg Amanes characterization is that of an inferior version of Miyamura https://anilist.co/character/66173/MiyamuraIzumi a gloomy guy with trust issues who looks hot if he fixes his hair. Slowly becoming more of an open person as he spends time with his wife. He has no real worth mentioning traits or hobbies that would make Mahiru fall for him maybe his ordinariness is the key factor to her interest? Meanwhile Mahiru is the pretty perfect girl who is his shining beacon helping Amane to change himself and herself for the better. Both become more open and true to themselves. The show is not bad its just flavorless and mediocre. Its like your generic Isekai of the season but here you have people gushing over it because it is so wholesome. Hey I like wholesome stuff too Its why I adore Kobayashi but that show has so many other qualities to list. The story here IS boring it doesnt help that a good 70 of the story literally takes place in Amanes apartment youll be seeing that drywall and couch a lot. The good thing I can say is that there is genuine progress in their relationship as the episodes go and the way they form their relationship feels natural somewhat. The comedy isnt over the top but its not even funny. It all boils down to scenes of Amane letting out a sigh whenever the side characters act annoying. And speaking of the side characters theyre not worth mentioning at all. 660https://staticc.sportskeeda.com/editor/2023/03/1e041167787704695621920.jpg The production values are average the art style is okay and the animation is fine I guess. The studio most definitely saved money and time by not drawing different backgrounds considering how often they were in the apartment and on that stupid couch. Should you watch Angel Next Door? If youd like to watch a simple show with no drama you can try it. Or invest in some wish fulfillment or wholesomeness then I guess why not? For me this show is as boring as Shikimori.
