First, a word to the wise: immediately set it to Japanese with English subs. The dub voices are awful on the Dual Audio files.

Now then: this is one of the most adorable stories I've seen in a while. Once you get past the almost comical 90's animation (hard to believe we used to dress like that) Hana Yori Dango proves to be an outstanding anime.
It's a very classic story, and I have no doubt that it's been inspiration for a lot of more modern teen romance movies, etc. There's a nice element of comedy, though the soundtrack in particular can get a little overly dramatic. It starts out in the guise of a high school soap opera, but becomes so much more than that. This is a story of reconciliation and new beginnings. Hope you all enjoy!
As per another user's recommendation, I plan to read the manga now. Just based on this sweet story, I'm betting it's a fantastic read. (show less)

HYD is my all time favorite manga, i re-read it several times and loved it!! the anime honestly doesn't do the manga justice, it follows the manga story line a fair bit but does change it slightly with minor details and has a completely different ending.. Those who watch this I highly recommend reading the manga, its very long but worth the read.. Also there is a Japanese, Korean & Taiwanese live TV series also you can watch :D
The anime graphics music isn't the best either its kind of old school and the characters voices could be better.. Other than that has an awesome storyline (show less)
