Review
Okay, I cannot blame anyone for immediately thinking that a show with that kind of name (and the Japanese name, Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo, is no better, since it means the exact same thing in Japanese) has to be no good. And yet, The Pet Girl of Sakurasou is a show far deeper—and much more respectful—than its seemingly misogynistic title might suggest, and has defied expectations to be one of Fall 2012’s best shows, and the best show to have aired in Winter 2013.
