Anime: Suki na Mono wa Suki Dakara Shou ga Nai!!

Animation:
Really bad for its year. Very plain and kiddy-like and absolutely boring. The colors aren't vibrant enough, the character designs aren't special, the background surroundings look like something from a show for children. In short, it doesn't match up to the modern standards of animation these days.

Sound:
The opening and ending themes are alright. The overall music is very bland though. Actually, i don't remember any memorable piece being played at all. Seiyuus sound annoying for most, I especially dislike Nao and the young angel-chans or whatever their names were.

Story:
Basically, it's about the 2 main protagonists trying to figure out their split personalities problem and upon learning the truth that involves some certain experiment, went into some emotional conflict.

Nothing that hasn't done before, really. It's like watching a really bad romance ecchi show (it's not specifically ecchi, but you get the idea) because Nao just reminds you too much of a jealous damsel in distress. So instead of being a good shounen-ai show, it got torn between trying to be BL and trying to be a straight series, butchering the show.

Not to mention, first 6 or 7 episodes are fillers, and horrendously boring fillers at that.

All in all, Sukisyo is a very simple-minded series. The relationships aren't portrayed realistically so they fall flat on the emotional level. Those who prefer their shows to be more complex and deep definitely wouldn't enjoy this.

Characters:
None of them have any depth that i would like to see. Everyone's mostly shallow and typical. You don't even have to go through their dialouges to know what kind of person each of them are. They are too predictable.

Value:
After the 3rd episode, i decided to delete each file after i'm done watching.

Enjoyment
It's obvious i didn't enjoy Sukisyo at all. If you're looking for a nice shounen-ai show, get Gravitation or Loveless instead. At least those have beautiful animation and characters. Sukisyo's story just isn't worth the time. What more, the comedy isn't humorous, and no eyecandy here either.

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sukisyo is a short anime series which surprised me alot; it rose above my expectations and turned out to be very good and worth a peek.

in the first episodes it looks as if there's no story at all, it's filled with fillers and stand alone episodes, but around the middle it begins to progress and there's actually a very interesting, fascinating, twisted and psychological plot. i really loved the yoru and ran idea, it was interesting and deep and the whole wrap of the show is very cheering and warming. plus one of the best endings i've ever came across.

i myself enjoyed the show a lot but it's partly because i really love shounen ai and i really sympathy with it.

Sora and Nao (the main couple) are very sweet together; the way their love grows and overcomes embarrassments and obstacles is beautiful and touching. even as individuals they're lovable and interesting.

other characters are nice but a lot of them felt pointless (i can name 4 or MORE characters which can be removed completely). i didn't really fall for Shinichiro and Nanami, they were ok but didn't melt me (lol). Matsuri is VERY sweet and INTERESTING but unfortunately he doesn't get enough focus - a miss! i'm also sorry that the filler characters who got to stay were the small (ANNOYING!!!!) children and not Hirumo, the (completely charming) ghost.

the animation in the first episode is very beautiful - detailed characters, fluid movement, pleasant colours and so on, but in the rest is really bad - unrealistic movement, no details on the characters and movement and so on, and it's a shame.

the music is nothing special or memorable. sora and nao's seiyuus are good but none of the seiyuus did an "outstanding" job imo. the opening sequence ("Survivor") could've been a lot better but it has good animation and the last shot is beautiful, the ending sequence ("Daydreamin'") once again had more potential but is a good idea as it is.

if the show would ever release in the US i might buy it (and i'm one that's really picky about my animes).

i recommend the show to everyone who likes romance, maybe some comedy, totally twisted (and psychological) story and of course shounen ai.

Well, all i have to say about sukisyo is .... please don't end... i watched the whole anime getting attached to the charaters and enjoying the uber bishyness of it. Nice story development thou some very odd discoveries. Lovly ED/OP songs.

Each charater develops nicely over time, thou some lack focus (like matsuri, he can be a great char but allways pushed aside because there is no room for a love triangle with him, sora and naou).

whould have nice if there was a promise for a sequal, but all i have left is to hope for it ;)

On the whole the anime leaves you with a warm feeling.
