I have heard this anime before and have even seen action figures and school supplies depicting the different characters. But it was only recently, when I viewed several episodes, that I realized how funny this anime is. Ally McBeal kind of funny. It makes use of exaggeration in exhibiting certain emotions. I am amused that all my five kids smile at funny scenes at the same time, notwithstanding the fact that they have to read subtitles since the audio language is Japanese.
The first few episodes introduce two very different personalities -- Hanamichi Sakuragi and Kaede Rukawa. Sakuragi is pure, raw power. Brash. Unpredictable. Extrovert. On the other hand, Rukawa personifies finesse. He is reserved. Introvert.
I cannot help but place myself in relation to these two characters. Am I an extrovert? Introvert? Well, I can say I am neither. I can be very reserved in one situation and be all over the place in another. And I think it is good that I am like that.
