Plot:

Despite Ryūji Takasu’s gentle personality, his eyes make him look like an intimidating delinquent so he is utterly hopeless about his chances of getting a girlfriend anytime soon, and does not have many close friends either. After being greeted by his hungover mother in the morning, Ryūji goes to school and is happy to find that he gets to be in the same class as his best friend Yūsaku Kitamura and crush Minori Kushieda. However, it is then that he unexpectedly knocks into “the school’s most dangerous animal of the highest risk level” — Taiga Aisaka — who just happens to also be in his class, and is a good friend of Minori.

My thoughts:

The anime is pretty simple most of the time,  but it’s very funny too.  Hmm the characters have a particular behavior,  the best example Taiga.  I’m not very interested on the tsundere personality,  but some people seem to enjoy it.
The cast is full of stars,  for example Rie Kugimiya (Taiga),  Yui Horie (Minori Kushieda),   Eri Kitamura (Ami Kawashima),   Rie Tanaka (Yuri Koigakubo) and many others.
