'Garden of Words' has a beautiful and unique art style. The way the rain and the park are depicted gives a very dreamy and romantic feel to the love story between Takao and Yukari. The art in this anime is almost like a character in itself, enhancing the overall mood of the love story.
'Kimi ni Todoke' has a very unique art style. It has soft colors and detailed character designs which really enhance the love story. The main character, Sawako, is drawn in a way that makes her shyness and her growth in love very palpable. The art style suits the slow - burning and innocent love story between Sawako and Kazehaya.
