Evaluation

"Mysterious Girlfriend X" has a unique depiction of love and a mysterious storyline that draws viewers in. The original is a manga of the same name by Ueshiba Riichi, and was broadcast as a TV anime series in 2012. This work depicts the strange love story between 17-year-old high school student Tsubaki Akira and transfer student Urabe Mikoto. In particular, the setting in which Urabe expresses her feelings through "saliva" provides a fresh surprise to viewers.

The story begins when Tsubaki licks Urabe's "saliva." This incident sparks a strange bond between the two. Urabe is an unsociable and mysterious character, but is pure-hearted when it comes to love, and makes various attempts to develop his relationship with Tsubaki. Meanwhile, Tsubaki, while interested in the opposite sex as a person her age, is portrayed as being at the mercy of Urabe's initiative.

The appeal of this work lies above all in its unique depiction of love. The setting in which Urabe conveys her feelings through her "drool" provides a fresh surprise to the viewer. The contrast between Urabe's unsociable attitude and her pure romantic feelings is also an element that draws viewers in. Furthermore, the relationship between Tsubaki's best friend Ueno Kohei and his girlfriend Oka Ayuko also adds depth to the story. Oka has a devilish personality that toys with Urabe, and like Tsubaki, she has a constitution that reacts to Urabe's "drool."

The animation was produced by Hoods Entertainment and directed by Watanabe Ayumu. Character design was by Konishi Kenichi, animation director was Kaneko Shizue, and color design was by Iwasawa Reiko. Art direction was by Ikeda Shigemi, cinematography by Sekiya Yoshihiro, editing by Hirose Kiyoshi, sound direction by Mima Masafumi, sound effects by Mitsui Tomokazu, sound production by Techno Sound, music by Hasegawa Tomoki, and music production by Starchild Records. This team of staff worked together to bring out the best in the original work.

The theme songs are "Love Orchestra" for the opening theme and "After School Promise" for the ending theme, both sung by Ayako Yoshitani. The lyrics were written by Toshiaki Yamada, and the music and arrangement were done by Katsutoshi Kitagawa. These songs play an important role in enhancing the atmosphere of the story.
