Is it even possible for something that is very cliched to still be very enjoyable? For example a lot of anime involve vampires secrets harems and mutual feelings to never be confessed and those are just among what this anime contains. Even though I knew this I really looked forward to watching this particular anime when the July 2015 season rolled around I couldnt shake off the feeling that it was going to be fun to watch. Sure enough I was right although I wasnt able to catch up to it in time for it to end. Well now that Ive finally been able to finish it what do I think now? Ladies and gentlemen its no secret that Im now reviewing Jitsu wa Watashi wa known as Actually I Am.... in English Jitsu wa Watashi wa follows a boy named Asahi Kuromine who is referred to as a leaky basket due to how bad of a liar he is. One day he finds himself faced with an important secret his classmate and crush Youko Shiragami is actually a vampire In order to avoid getting her pulled out of school due to her secret being exposed Asahi tries his best to keep Youkos secret and ends up befriending her in the process. coughfriendzonecough Along the way he discovers the supernatural secrets of others such as the class rep Nagisa Aizawa an alien and Youkos childhood friend Shiho Shishido a wolf man and he must keep those secrets too. Geez thats a lot of secrets for one leaky basket to keep I bet youd look at the summary and think Havent I seen this somewhere before? As I mentioned at the beginning of this review Jitsu wa Watashi wa is packed with cliches from fellow romantic comedy anime. You know what though? That didnt stop the comedy from being hilarious or at least amusing even if a joke didnt get me laughing out loud I would at least be smiling the whole time Its cast of characters helped this show too most of them are very fun to watch. Even though the romance between Youko and Asahi ends up not progressing much throughout it was still fun to see them together. The animation for this anime was pretty great. I havent seen too much of TMS Entertainments anime but out of the ones I have seen this is definitely some of the most appealing Ive ever seen out of them with its bright colors. The voice actors definitely nailed their roles as well. I especially liked Inori Minase as Nagisa I really felt that her voice fit her character. The opening theme Himitsu wo Choudai by Ars Magna is such a fun song to listen to and one that definitely fits this anime the ending theme Ienai Ienai by Hilcrhyme is also a very nice song to listen to. Overall Jitsu wa Watashi wa is definitely a fun anime to watch. If you like romantic comedies and dont mind the cliches Id definitely recommend for you to check it out. Even if you dont like it though.... well its no secret that we all have our own opinions
