Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo is a romantic comedy-drama anime that has managed to make me think I'm not the only guy in this world who has various personality flaws. Pretty much everyone in Sakura Residence (except for Sorata) has their own issues. One thing for certain is that the characters in this anime are very interesting in their own way, except for Jin, who seems to be a copy-paste of Yusaku from Toradora.
It starts with Sorata living in a local dormitory and having regretted living there due to the residents, who are colorful, unique, and at the same time very chaotic. The colors of the rainbow suddenly spilled into a painting that resembles No. 5, 1948 but brighter. I love the story for its slow but nonetheless effective boil - after episode 12, Shiina discovers love at long last and how it feels, and now comes the inevitable romance ladder. A lot of things about this anime that differs it from the rest is how at least 3 of the Sakurasou residents spoke lines so deep that it requires Odfjell's drilling rigs just to reach in with the awesomeness. I find Jin, Shiina and Ryuunosuke to be the masters of this - in episode 10 Ryuunosuke managed to defeat Rita in an argument, make her cry the Volga river and run away to some place all without feeling remorse even when everyone else turned away from him and called him heartless. This was one of my most favorite episodes, as Ryunosuke's lines were spoken so straight, so emotionless and so deep that you can probably consider becoming gay and marry him.
I have seen Episode 23 and this is one of the first (and probably the only) times I have ever shed tears. All the events were Chekov's guns and the Sakura dormitory is what I see as the Schwerer Gustav of the entire series. This anime alone is so unpredictably sad that it made James Cameron's Titanic look like an episode of Max & Ruby.
I could say that this anime's not about a woman coping with a mental disorder (like as I predicted), but the whole household and how one person in life can impact many through the power of friendship. It's basically got a story that's so deep, so unexpectedly sad. The anime itself tells about the lives of everyone in the dorm, but in Episode 23 it's where, for the first time in my life, I have flooded my neighborhood in tears like a seasonal flooding in Venice. It's that giant Schwerer Gustav that somehow manages to camouflage itself from the open field that had a clear shot of my manly guts, and has given me this diarrhea of emotions.
I recommend all of you to give this anime a shot if you got the time, unless you hate drama, which I always do. You can join the club for the laughs if that's what you want, but believe me - Episode 23 has created the fountain of tears. But don't watch Episode 23 right away, start with the first one. You will live not to regret it.
