Paradise Kiss
Paradise Kiss is absolutely beautiful. For me, it's perfect, although the anime adaptation skipped monologues and moments that were important for Yukari's character development. The Atelier looks impressive, but I feel that the anime series failed to capture Ai Yazawa's art style. Sadly, ParaKiss was adapted into a 12-episode series. It feels kind of rushed, and the ending did not adapt the actual ending from the manga series, which concluded in the best possible way.
The ending is what it had to be. George and Yukari, for their own good sake couldn't end together, their dependency was tearing them apart, and is nice to see Yukari found her perfect match (who happened to be her first crush as well, even though she didn't recognize it back then), concluding with her recognizing her inner pain (the remaining love for George) but accepting and cherishing her present life and self (the phrase Yukari says in the finale "even though the play is a comedy I still know I'll cry" summons pretty well everything I've said).
I wish the anime adaptation were as good as the manga, but aside from some details I've mentioned, I admire that they respected most of the important moments from the original material. Not all adaptations should be exact replicas of the source, but sadly, ParaKiss skipped crucial monologues and the perfect finale. Still a good series tho :3
