Writing style(s)/plot(s): 10 ⭐'s
Romantic Killer took tropes and scenarios of the average romantic comady and made it into it's own. Increadible with reference to different anime and manga. The plot is unique and is handled to beyond belive.

Character(s)/character(s) development: 10 ⭐'s
A short, neat and great cast a sweet spot for a 12 episode masterpeice. The characters develop close to in real life just a bit different since it is fiction and Romantic Killer is a comedy.

Animation/cinematography: 10 ⭐'s
The animation with references and Anzu's mannerism and expressions are over the top in the best of ways.

Genre(s)/theme(s): 10 ⭐'s
Blends Rom-com, Dramedy, Animation, High School, Anime and Absurd ... individual and intertwined genre characteristics so well never getting to dark or wholesome or over the top amazes me. The themes are amazing too really bringing the humanity and empathy onto the surface and implicitly for the aware viewers.

What an amazing watch. almost a masterpeice may I add. The colors match idealy with each other with contrasts and mood change. It's one of the best coloring I have seen yet in the broad space of animation.
Mostly likeable characters like the male lead and the reast of the cast. It doesn't shy away from hard topics and manages to balance it out with wholesome and inspiring moments. It's a great story from 13-years-old and up where every person on that age spectrum can learn and appreciate some or several meanings and interpretations of this fine work of fiction.
Spoilers: I despised Josee the moment she became physical violent towards our dependable stedfast rock, Tsuneo, taking it more than I should have. It get's a bit too repetitive with her over the top tsundere trope with Josee and may be why I did and still do dislike her some. At 1:18:53-19:59 I did cry at the character development of Josee as she finally put herself together and faced her 🐯 That makes it 4 instead of 3,5 for character development since she is the female lead making up half the main character role.

Final rating: 9/ 10 ⭐'s.
