My Little Monster is a 13-episode anime produced by Brain's Base, based on a manga by Robico. It first aired in 2012. My Little Monster focuses on the relationship between Shizuku Mizutani, who has absolutely no interests except in studying and her plans for the future, and a boy named Haru Yoshida, who sits next to Shizuku in class but rarely attends school. After Shizuku is tasked with delivering class printouts to Haru's home, she meets Haru, who immediately greets her as a friend, starting their new relationship.
Well, first of it starts off with a dispassionate school girl called Shizuku Mizutani, she has no friends, hobbies whatsoever. In other words she just wants to study, she finds it unbelievable and very irritating that their is a guy who keeps getting the number 1 spot and never turns up to school. It happens to be her classmate Haru Yoshida. She manages to give homework prinouts to this guy the same guy who keeps beating up at the top for number 1. And thus how their journey begins, a crazy child called Haru and a very dull and lifeless girl called Shizuku.
Without realising, Shizuku happens to stumble into a lot of crazy circumstances. That is beyond her emotional level. She manages to engage and not engage in the most impossible way, she tries to get on with life, but with Haru her responsibility and her first friend. It comes to a point where she doesnt know where she stands. As the two young misfits gradually become acquainted and make new friends, they find themselves confronting things about each other and themselves that might have been better left buried.
If there's one word to describe the visuals of this series, it's colorful. The backgrounds and character designs are bright and lively, the music is cute and so and so. It wasn't too crazy or too upbeat, it was just right for the show, to show off the dramatic sense at moments as well, and to show of the more cute moments of the show.
For me this was a show that I really enjoyed. I found it super cute how the male lead wasn't broody or a male egotistic showoff. It was great to see Haru as a child like personality, bright and bubbly. And laughter and making friends is something awesome. Which was the complete opposite of Shizuku and I like that Shizuku was the loner girl this time, but with Haru next to her she was barely alone. She was always with someone. Her lack of personality made up with Haru. It was like a child with no feelings, she wasn't sure of this new environment and what to do and that was what made me love My little monster. Her relationships with everyone made me smile, she was going into a new place learning new things, the life of human emotions!
Overall, it ended way to quick for me, they built it up to a point where you get into it and then stop halfway which caused me to groan in annoyance. But nevertheless I really loved the Manga that gave it a bit more justice to the story. I was hoping for more for My little monster, but I think so far this is what we will get. The great thing about this show was the character build up, it was strong and believable so it wasn't too hard not get into it. The couples of the shows were unexpected but you know it's what made My little monster great! I really enjoyed Haru and Shizuku, thought at some point I want to knock their heads together. They get into silly fights and moments and then apologize, little by little Shizuku is expressing more and more and thats what I found beautiful.
I shall leave you with some music now! ENJOY!
