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. |

But rest assured. Eba will get her revenge. What are you talking about revenge? 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. |
| I already saw it coming when the train was leaving. So obvious Eba was going to be on the other side. I just hope the next episode won't have a ton of drama revolving around the misunderstanding and that they manage to clear it out in the first couple of minutes. (Except that isn't going to happen and I'll probably be disappointed/annoyed at the anime). Pretty good episode. Much better than 5 nanometers per second. |
 |
| Well, so far my feelings are a bit mixed for this OVA. It seems to start out of nowhere (idk what chapter from the manga as I've not read it yet) with the characters already in a relationship (long-distance). The music and art is nice I admit but the story is bleh. I'm hoping this will officially turn into a real anime series soon. |
 |
| man i have to say eba feels so much different when presented this way, its almost misleading. |
| That was expected.. it's a low budget ova, so.. |
| I don't know what to think, I was pretty bored to be honest. I hope next episode will be better. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| That was really generic...like there wasnt anything unpredictable |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Wow, they skimmed the first like 60-70 chapters? Wtf. |
 |
| a season adaptation would be very interesting but this format really takes a lot off from the story |
| huh? |
| I love the soundtrack of this OVA as well as the ending song! Being someone who has read the manga i can still remember the events that have happened. Still think this is great! |
 |
| Agreed. As someone who's been reading the manga from the start, I really liked this OVA. Somehow, it was able to pack all the intricacies of the initial relationship between Yuzuki and Haruto (and Nanami) into a condensed 40 minute affair. I not picky about the little details, the OVA was great as an OVA. If nothing else, this definitely sparks interest in the manga. The flow of the plot was fragmented and yet fitting. I also liked the juxtaposition of what really happened between Nanami and Haruto and what they were saying on their boyfriend girlfriend charade. I would really like to watch a series developed by the same story writer with Seo sensei. Also, loved the many Suzuka references and cameo. |

| not bad, but the seiyuu's were kinda awkward for me. |
 |
| Hmm... it was so easy to see they both were lying xD Next episode ftw I must say now. |

| Wth... wish this was a series... D: |
 |
| Why would they skip through so much of the story. |
 |
| Pretty good... so much angst! |
  |
| Talk about the wrong guy in the wrong place! Quite an awesome love story actually, the ending was quite breath taking as well. Can't wait to see what they'll do in the second part! |
 |
| Damn, you can NEVER get away with pretending to be someone else's boyfriend. It always backfires in every anime. I saw that coming too. Good OVA though, nice prep for the anime coming out this season. |
 |
| Well, this was kind of disappointing. It glosses over to much of the early material and feels disjointed. If I hadn't just read the manga, I probably wouldn't have been able to follow it very well. I'll have to go back and read others comments to see how it fared with the non-reader population... no time now. Still, despite its flaws, it was nice... Can't wait for the full series in a little over a week. |
