Ano Natsu de Matteru

I have just realized that this anime was great. Though I find some of the sequels are little absurd. But I was still enjoying it. No problem what I was watching, the characters and of course the story is simple but interesting. I love it though I was really really late knowing this anime. 'osoi'...haha Hey are you kinda old? hummm...I don't mind if I am called by anyone as an outdated person or you say it. Oh I forgot, in this anime my favorite character's absolutely Ichika. But there is another reason to say that I am also attracted by Tetsurou since he performed in gentle and knew the proper way to treat the others like Mio and Kanna while they had a bad feeling. :) Such a good boy I think.

In short this is a coming of age anime. The usual school kids dealing with emotions of love etc. The protagonist has a love for film and the anime starts with him testing a new camera at night outside... where a blue flash in the sky changes everything. A mysterious girl appears and the anime explores relationship and .... aliens. I really struggled to get into this. Firstly the start was intriguing a slice of life starting with a literal bang! But it failed to deliver. If your put of by love triangles.... get ready for LOVE OCTAGON 2000....Because hes in love with her.... but she loves him ... but he loves her .... The film aspect was nice and was probably the only ongoing plot line that they made sense with. The anime is all over the place. The addition of aliens made it really difficult for me to view this as a slice of life. generally slice of life is just that ... cute guy / girl doing life stuff. The art is ok its nothing amazing. The sound is ok its nothing amazing. The characters are a little one dimensional ...and at times I found myself getting irritated with them. I adored one couple who did eventually make progress... but I cant rate an anime high because two supports maybe got together. An anime for me to invest in has to have at least one interesting lead... but I the two leads fell short. Alien chan is too wishy washy... and I feel like we needed more backstory to her for me to actually at least understand her a bit more. And Film senpai.... well he falls in love with a random stranger after one day... not really one for love at first sight... so maybe I am bias. But things felt convenient. And drama felt obligatory. In short this anime tries to do to much and becomes jumbled in the process. The end got me a little. The message it wants to convey is be brave and go for it. Don't waste your time. But it gets buried under Aliens where it may of just been believable to actually have her as a study abroad student whose time was up. The alien plot line detracted from the heart of the anime. And it didn't in the long term add anything. I think the story could of been told without it and filled out the characters more instead of adding in the alien chase scenes. I think there are some amazing animes out there which cover these themes better. If your bored and need a time filler you could check this out. But don't expect anime of the year.

I really don't like this anime very much, the first is the science fiction component. In itself the incipit of the alien that lands on Earth and enjoys the joys of adolescence together with fresh friends of fresh knowledge is not evil: obviously it is anything but original, but it is one of those bases that does not mind having to see used with such high frequency. Of course, for the first half of the series one wonders why this choice turned to sci-fi, given that, except for some occasional reference, the female protagonist is an alien does not have who knows what great influences and interests in the unfolding of the narrated events. Then, abruptly violent and bombastic, the sci-fi is the master in the last episodes, in a whirlwind of sentinel robots, spaceships, MIBs, interplanetary travels, galactic alliances and spatial norms. In short, that this component is considered in the series there may also be, but that its presence has such a downturn, and returns to be used so heavily after some time in which it was almost completely silenced, well, in my opinion turns out to be a poor choice, which I don't agree with and which I really don't like. The second is the vicious circle of romantic relationships between the characters. Now, accustomed to the usual love triangle, at most quadrilateral, used to exhaustion in every scholastic-sentimental comedy, dealing with something different can also be there. A touch of originality and refinement, if well balanced, is always welcome. I find, however, that with this sort of pentagon "she loves him who loves her who loves him who loves her" has put too much in the fire. Certainly one has the opportunity to study with greater ease the array of feelings of each individual character and to impersonate oneself now in that now in that other, but personally I think it turns out to be a somewhat exaggerated and exasperated choice, which sometimes knows a little about forced and cumbersome. Something more slender, less demanding, perhaps less original, I admit but equally acceptable, it would have been a less burdensome and burdensome choice, but it could still have led to something good without necessarily losing out.

This anme is very unique from others some anime love story become in a steady relationship at the end but this is different:)) Story(10/10) The story revolves around a Alien girl saves a human boy and they fall in love just watch it Art(10/10) The art is very modern :)) that's all Sound(10/10) I don't really care about the sound :)) so I think I give it all Character(7/10) only the heroine has the most beautiful looks of all Enjoyment(10/10) It's very fun I roll over the floor laughing(a bit exaggerated) Overall(9/10) It's worth your time watch it :))

I loved this anime. The emotions of unrequited love, and the love yet to bloom were very well shown in my opinion. It's emotionally devastating in its own way. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the ending. It was very clear what it represented, but it was a let down that they couldn't do another episode with more closure. Other than that it was amazing and I will definitely rewatch when I get amnesia. The art style is amazing and I put myself into the shoes of each character, and it made me cry a lot. I didn't like how pervy at points it was, but to each their own. If you like emotional romance, I would say that you should at least give this one a try.

"No matter where you are, my camera will keep rolling to capture the summer moments that will burn into film." Waiting in the Summer Another anime by Tatsuyuki Nagai, this one was made in 2012. Although not as famous or legendary as his 2011 Anohana, the anime still achieved a certain level of success, with fairly good reviews in the community. The anime begins when Kaito and his friends, after finishing their exams, plan to make a film to commemorate their last summer of high school. During this process, Kaito meets a beautiful alien, Ichika, whose spaceship is damaged. They decide to make a film together until she leaves. + Content: The anime is a bit drawn-out, with a lot of unnecessary plot points, mostly due to the excessive number of superfluous characters. Except for the final episode, most of the other episodes are quite boring. But somehow its work. The anime has a lot of setups, a super large number of them, all for the final episode. I like how things that seem like jokes become reality at the end. There are many moments in the final episode that make you feel how well-set up the anime was. All for one episode. The other episodes... aren't actually that bad. I got to see the lives, filming, and dreams of young people looking up at the blue summer sky. Even though it's a long-winded, this long-winded is good. + Music and Art: The opening theme is bad, but the ending theme is good. The art style isn't really stand out. The animation... is okay, but the characters are sometimes stiff. Overal: Worth watching. It still has some flaws and plot holes, but I feel that's what makes it good, feels like a small project. Generally speaking, the anime isn't great, but it still fine. Personally: I think this anime would work better as a movie

I was kind of disappointed by other series (Golden time, Kokoro connect) and looking for some comedy, so after the first episode I was sold. I'm not usually into sci-fi series, but this one seemed to be fun. Comedy: check. Some awkward interaction between characters, but the plot was simple, and left little space for drama, which I found good. Romance: check. it was not the usual "one step forward, two steps back". The main plot was going in the right direction, and leaving some door open for possible side developments or afterthoughts, but I expected that everything would be solved at some point. First 10 episodes, quite good. It just bothered me that some side character popped up as soon as something was going to happen between the 2/3 main characters. Like: I want to go there with you alone, but then, surprisingly, when we get to that place, everybody is already there waiting for us. Reminded me of Bokuben season 2 (the first time I watched a whole series hoping that something would happen because "it can't get worse than this in the next episode" and then it did every single time). But otherwise, quite fun and wholesome. Spoilers start here. Episode 11 was the first red flag. Anything could happen, and then somebody will save them. Forget the plot, the interactions get completely messed up, but at least there is hope, next episode will bring them together again. Episode 12 is the total disappointment, Toradora-style final, where everything happens and nothing is really happened. The cake is a lie. She is going away, "never to return again but always in my heart.", he is not giving up anyway (well if he did at this point it would be unfair, to be honest). The other guy who seemed to be interested in the other girl has completely lost interest. The mystery girl is going away for the same reason she appeared at the beginning (i.e. no reason at all). Sister comes back, nobody will tell her what really happened (because of course, nobody has seen UFOs or heard explosions, or anything like that). And at the end... there she goes again. WTF? Why? No, sorry, this could have been a good show, maybe not great, but this final really ruins everything.

It's a mixed bag as I see it. A slice of life genre movie or series usually is not one that glorifies or gives you goosebump moments like a mystery,war or a thriller genre series. It is subtle, authentic and very free flowing, hence having it's own way of pricking the audience conscience. Same goes with this series. The comedy placed in the series is surely 18+. This series makes you blush,laugh out loud, feel for some characters,feel paranoid about some others. So all in all I'd say the characters and their feelings are highlights of the series compared to the plot itself. The visuals are good, sound design is decent. Cheers.
