I like this anime i been waiting for it after i saw it in the news that it was going to be animated. Okey based on the first episode this anime has a big amount of potential i really can't wait to see how the anime the pet girl of sakurasou develops around Sorata Kanda and Mashiro Shiina lives and the residents on sakurasou dorm also his classmates and maybe some jealousy will happen around Sorata Kanda.

(Note Ratings are my opinions from my experience with the manga and all episodes)

Plot: 9/10 (I'm a fan of romantic comedies ^_^)
The school romantic comedy revolves around a second-year high school student named Sorata Kanda who lives in Sakurasou, the dormitory for problem children at Sorata's art school. One day, Mashiro Shiina, a cute girl who happens to be also a cosmopolitan, brilliant artist - moves into Sakurasou.

Characters/Development: 9/10
Right off the bat the characters during the first few episodes are already undergoing changes such as Sorata and Jin. Sorata is a student at an Art School where he lives in a dormitory of "nutjobs" or whatever you call them due to him trying to save cats. A cute (very cute <3) girl name Shiina then enters the picture causing more mayhem for Sorata. These first couple episodes were fantastic however might be fast for people who've read the light novels.

Artwork/Animation: 10/10
It's a romantic comedy in an art school setting, ARTWORK IS BEYOND BEAUTIFUL. Animation is top notch these days so there's nothing amazing about it. Things that surprised me was that some of the scenes from the anime are or can be beautiful art pieces themselves (Example Below). I can't stress enough that you should watch this anime in 1080p because there's gonna be more artwork shown throughout the anime.

Voices/Sounds: 8/10
Character voices fit each character very well and people who watch Sword Art Online should realize that Sorato is played by the same guy who plays Kirito in that anime. Sounds are pleasant and are on par with anime today so nothing too special about that.

Conclusion: I can expect great things from this anime and it's definitely on my list of animes to watch each week. It's a great series to watch during the middle of the week to relieve stress. From my sources this anime is gonna be 24 Episodes which is double of the typical anime of 12. If you've read the light novels or just plain out love romantic comedies with exquisite artwork then this is the anime for you.

Upto chapter 8 so far and this is a classic romance tale with some nice variations. Pet Girl starts off much like your standard harem manga with a twist that the main character has an older brother figure, a role model who feels the younger's success is attribute to his training. The dynamic works well predicated on the elder leaving a self-righteous legacy of mysogeny to the younger main character. This works well within the harem framework as the elder has a different herd and there is a non-verbal truce between the male characters. The tale is a classic harem in the style of "Love Hina" with the added twist of male platonic fraternization.

I was expecting a typical harem anime after the first 10 min of the first episode, but it clearly diverges from that type of story and begins to lean less on a harem angle and more on a drama/comedy angle, with romance only being a side part of it.

Overall, I have laughed quite a bit and look forward to future episodes, though I hope they don't spin into the "woe is me" male protagonist too much... that would ruin it for me.

Edit/update: After seeing more episodes I can say it is definitely starting to lean more on 'drama' ... not enjoying that part quite as much.

Personal note: seriously, who wouldn't choose Aoyama?
