Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is an anime romcom series, based on a manga. The show can be streamed on several services, including Crunchyroll and Hulu. Let’s dive into what makes this one of my favorite shows.
- Animation: Incredibly creative animation that plays with perspectives.
- Cast: The voice actors sound like they’re having the absolute best time of their lives.
- Music: Fantastic music, with Masayuki Suzuki’s “Love Dramatic” being one of the catchiest openings for any show. Ever.
- Story: This show has so many layers. On the surface it’s a battle of wills between two stubborn characters. Part of the fun is exploring the clues of what’s really happening. Also, a fair amount of pop references are peppered throughout the series.
I plan to read the manga, to get an even fuller experience. In the meantime, I’m excited about the movie. Hopefully, there will also be more seasons!
