Ichinomiya Kou has always lived according to the creed of his wealthy, successful family: never be in debt to anyone. But one day, under the Arakawa Bridge, his life is saved by a homeless girl named Nino. In order to pay her back, Kou promises to be her boyfriend; and thus begins his new life under the bridge.
Arakawa Under the Bridge is really funny. I don't usually give ratings this high but for making me laugh out loud every episode it deserves an extra.
The plot's original and I can't imagine how they came up with all those weird characters. It's just fun to watch the main character get worked up over the stupidity of others. I would have liked some more background but there's another season so I gues that can wait. My only remark is the ending. Just the fact that it's there is no good. Like many other comedy anime a more dramatic ending was added. It's not that it's bad but I like the more humorous episodes better.
The dialogue is one of the main selling points of this anime.
The animation is special but good. Kind of reminded me of bakemonogatari.
Arakawa was awesome and I can't wait to watch the second season.
