| Also, the art isn't as off as everyone is saying it is. If you compare the art style of the manga in its early chapters to that of the more recent chapters, namely looking at Eba for this example, there is quite a change. The anime is somewhat a mix of the two, but if I had to choose, I'd actually say the anime more resembles the more recent chapters art style. It may not be a perfect replica of the manga art, but it is definitely similar.

McRib said: They didn't adapt Seo Kouji's art very well and this OVA is incredibly low budget. That and Megumi Nakajima as Yuzuki is really fucking off. Then again, it's quite fitting. A terrible adaption of a terrible manga. This. The manga sucks the anime will suck aswell. |

| Honestly stop bitching about speedsubs... if u want something better learn the gd language. Really nice OVA, even they didn't show everything from the start the small flashbacks really worked out for them. When is next ova releasing? |
| huh? |
| I didn't find this horrible direction to be bad at all, just because i'm reading manga. Feels bad man. Rin's and Kanzaki's seiyuu are a good match, especially Kanzaki sounds cool with dat Kansai dialect - which doesn't work for Haruto that much, especially when he says "Eba", sounds so wrong. Art wasn't as bad as i was expecting after all bad opinions though, Kanzaki looked good and Eba wasn't half bad. Haruto looks even more plain that in manga tho, and he should be blonde no matter what any of producers or even Seo think. The worst thing in all this shit was definitely that thing that was supposed to be Akari. She was drawn so fucking bad, especially hair. And horribly unmatched seiyuu that made my ears bleed. After all, please don't make a tv series if Akari's gonna be like that thing here. Other than that, tv series should work out better than this shitty oav, just adapt the story from the start not the middle of manga. |

| They should have just made a Anime for this manga. and the art in the OVA didn't match the manga. ;_; |
"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark" |
| omg this is definitely a great OVA. The last scene hit me so hard. i think the 2nd part of this is going to be released in June. (im unsure of it) |
| Nice anime,but storyline isnt that great |
| So they started on the arc just before everything went south. Welp, might be nice. |
| Well that wasn't so bad but the art quality isn't that appealing !! |
 |
| it was OK |

| it was great :) |
 |
| really beautiful - at last a romantic story that feels like real life - the loves we lose from the past, the things we give up, sometimes moving on when we shouldn't, the story of real life - and sometimes ending up alone after all...can't wait for the second one! animation was truly gorgeous, especially the ending scene at the river - great symbolism for the river of our past sweeping into the future, sometimes right past each other... |

| Seeing this brought back a bitter taste, but it was somewhat nostalgic to see this part of the story again. I really hope that they'll turn it into a full series with animations done by Bones or Mad House :D. I really love this manga so yeah, bring a full series ^^ |

But rest assured. Eba will get her revenge. But i think the OVA should show more about how Eba's screwed Haruto's life before she left to Tokyo. Honoka's appearance is not too bad but i want to see Suzuka in this OVA too |

Laevantein said: Honoka's appearance is not too bad but i want to see Suzuka in this OVA too Did you miss her? She distracted Fuka with a Teddy Bear when Nanami made Haruto grab her chest. |

GuiltyKing said: This actually started on the middle, around chapter 60+ and they showed some of the first events in a flashback.Quite an interesting series as it seems. But how much of the manga does this first OVA cover? I want to start reading the manga and it wouldn't be bad to know which chapter I should start with in order to understand everything. Thanks for the answer. You should start reading from the very beginning. |
 |
| The art style was a bit different, but I still enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the coloring they did for this. The music was also pretty enjoyable. Haruto's VA seemed a little off too me. I'd say for low budget, they did a pretty decent job. Hope we can see a series out of this when the manga finishes. |

She never does the things she does with the intent of getting revenge, she understood the situation she witnessed, and what happens next would have happened irregardless of whether she saw that. |

HawthorneKitty said: DAT KANSAI DIALECT! <3 Actually Hiroshima is situated in southern Japan (Chugoku) and not in the Kansai. Thus their accent is called Hiroshima-ben. Anyway, regarding the OVA, I must admit I didn't remember a lot of things that happened early in the manga so I was kind of surprised (was Eba really going out with him at this point of the manga ? I mean, Haruto used to be in love with Akari in the beginning and realized his feelings much, much later?) plus of course the character design which doesn't resemble the original one at all, especially that of Haruto and Yuzuki. Well, overall it was kinda good even though I really doubt the people who just discovered KimiMachi with this OVA could really anything satisfactory from that. |

Reicien said: Hey is the episode 2 have been lunch? i'm search it but couldnt find it~ well anyone can help? please >,< Episode 2 has not aired yet. According to the show stats, it won't air till June 15. |
GuiltyKing said: Thanks for the recommendation, mate. Just finished catching up on the manga (spent hours reading it- a true masterpiece imo) and after seeing the characters' original drawings I now do agree that the OVA doesn't do them justice. It's one of those that you just can't put down. Asuka's arc is my favourite so far; fawkin amazing. Yeah, the character designs are pretty cut, but as other people said, it's low budget, what can you expect. :/ I actually quite liked the voices though, even though they were slightly off. Kanzaki wasn't as cute as I always imagined her though :( This needs to be made into a series though. It would be amazing. |
| No. |
| Not sure why people are complaining about the art. The same thing happened when they adapted Suzuka. Didnt change the fact that the content was still the same though. It was a good episode. Kind of sucks that it's an OVA though. Would have liked to see at least a 12 episode season or maybe a movie. PS. Loved the Suzuka character cameos ^_^. |

| Like the anime,looking forward to more episodes! |
 |
| i want a tv series of this |
| I feel the artwork and style was a bit off, it didn´t do the amazing manga art justice. And for me what´s left after removing the beautiful art is all that rage and cringing. Still this episode didn´t contain some of the more awkward scenes. 3/5 |
| After watching this ova I want start read the manga |
 |
| Oh wow, the good parts were animated in this OVA. Really liked it. However the animation is obviously pretty different to the manga artwork, as expected of a low budget OVA. Voice Acting is alright though some characters voices sound a bit off, don't really suit the character. :\ Really wish Kimi No Iru Machi actually became an Anime though, would be so much better. Ah, seeing Rin for a little bit was awesome. :D Can't wait for the next OVA, hoping to see Asuka. <3 |
 |
| I actually like the artwork here. But I would prefer a TV series instead of an OVA |
| Very vanilla and its a compliment. Seems like finding similarities to 5 centimeters isnt uncommon in the community, hope it wont have that nonsense 5 centimeters per second is filled with. |
| So far I'm not really impressed though I'm interested in the relationship between Haruto and Yuzuki. Hopefully the second episode will feature more interesting content. |
 |
| OMG i just can't wait for the TV serires .. its too much |
 |
| reminds me of 5 cm per second, really sad at the end when eba caught haruto with nanami great OST btw |
 <img src="http://i47.tinypic.com/2mw85l2.jpg" /> |
| Great!This really makes me want to read the manga..& I love that ending song. |
 |
| Episode was okay, indeed a bit cliché at the end, but ohh well atleast I want him to get eba back :D Waiting for ep 2 |
| Full series, please. |
