Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu

While I'm vigorously working on Persona 3: FES, I realized I NEVER posted about this wonderful anime that I really really really really liked. D:

Beware of slight spoilers... (Although not too too major...)

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is one of the cutest anime EVER! I love it because of what Haruka's secret actually is... I didn't realize being an otaku was so... Rejected! Well, it probably is here in the United States, but I didn't know that it was in Japan... Well maybe in the upper-class which is exactly what Haruka is! But yeah, Haruka is awesome! It's one of the most sweetest love stories I've ever experienced after Lovely Complex. I won't give it a complete review right now though, it's not fresh enough in my mind. Although the last arc was kind of disappointing, it seems like they gave Yuuto a stupid conflict to deal with, because well... Haruka would have obviously loved whatever he gave her... ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS CLUMSY AKI-CHAN! D:

Noto Mamiko does an awesome Haruka~ I've never seen her voice a rich girl quite yet~ Much less an otaku! The story is so cute too... I couldn't believe how well Yuuto and Haruka went together. Shiina (the other woman) didn't even really get into the way of Haruka and Yuuto's relationship all that much! (Except for one major plot point...) Haruka's maid and imouto are a lot of fun as well~ Also, CLUMSY AKI-CHAN FTW!

But yeah... I liked it overall, the main character wasn't an absolute idiot (until the ending at least), and the heroine was super cute and awesome. I advise romantic-comedy anime fans to watch this. :D

On a random note: I have Tales of Hearts. :D
