Yowamushi Pedal

Summer 2013 bought us Free!, the swimming anime. But now we are in the Fall season, how can sports anime follow up a hit like Free!? With a cycling anime!! ...Perhaps. Yowamushi Pedal relates the story of Sakamichi Onoda, the wimpy otaku who just really wants to join his high school's anime club. However, to his great disappointment, the anime club has already shut down! However he was spotted by professional Imaizumi as he cycled home and managed to impress this serious cyclist. Then he met Naruko-another professional cyclist. After riding alongside these two great cyclists Onoda found a passion for cycling and joined the cycling club.

Itazura na Kiss

I may be a tad obsessed with this because I'm now reviewing the anime that goes with the dramas Playful Kiss and It started with a kiss. I wasn't going to review it originally, but a friend of mine who doesn't usually watch anime told me it was really good, so I couldn't resist!! But now I have to right up the plot of this show for a third time.....
Kotoko-chan is in F class, the bottom of the school and she fancies the greatest guy in school: Irie-kun, best looking and smartest in the school. He is not, however, the kindest as we find out when he coldly rejects Kotoko-chan's without even a second glance. To make things worse, she goes to her newly built house only for it to collapse in an earth quake. Now Kotoko-chan is homeless and heartbroken, but her father does find them somewhere to stay, at the house of an old friend. Upon arriving Kotoko-chan is shocked to see Irie-kun living there. With Irie-kun's mother's support Kotoko-chan decides to go full out to try win the heart  of Irie-kun. Although the start is horribly cheesy it becomes a very cute tale of romance. The things that happen and the feelings that are shown, don't seem particularly unusual so it feels like you can relate to what's happening!
