Professor Irony said:Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun
It took a fair bit of persuasion to get me to even attempt something so ostensibly shoujo-esque and fluffy looking, but I'm glad I did in the end. Nozaki-kun is an extremely pleasant surprise, turning its unpromising premise, of the heroine inadvertantly becoming a mangaka's assistant, into something fresh and witty as the show raises genuine laughs from poking fun at the long established, yet utterly ridiculous, tropes of shoujo manga. All the more surprising is how well it succeeds in this without resorting to the usual anime comedy standards of blankly referencing other series or 'hilarious' visual innuendo. However much played for laughs, I did think the casual violence between Hori and Kashima was in questionable taste, but otherwise, it was a feel-good delight from beginning to end.

Eh, for its time, I don't think it's too bad. I feel it's at least on a par with the sort of thing Hanna Barbera were putting out back then.

This is the first time re-watching this show I wouldn't of re-watched it as soon as I did but when there is an Ultimate Edition you just have too. Can't be bothered to go on why this show is amazing so just go pick up the Blu-ray and go watch it right now. 9.5/10
Also the movies are worth a watch even though they are recaps they just bring back some of the amazing feels from the show. Also the Parallel works are worth a watch as well as they're just as mad as the show but in a music video style format.

Speaking of feels,
The Kamina/Yoko scene is probably up there in my Top 5 most moving anime scenes ever.
The scene with Nia and Simon proposing via the phone in the final arc is so well done too.
