Prepare yourselves for a good brief enjoyment.
At the beginning, we got a great dose of drama. To be honest I almost cried. I was worried about if they could do a good job mixing the comedy and the drama, without making any drastic change, but after ten minutes I was laughing and during all the anime both were mixed very well. Besides, although the drama is a little bit exaggerated, it will reach you and you will establish an emotional bond with the main character quickly. In addition, the story transmits a good message about the injustice of the way the society thinks, unfortunately it
...
is too forced, for being too cruel and for being too pure. Kotoura has had problems with establishing relationships because of her ability to read people´s minds and according to the anime, everybody except her new friends have bad thoughts all the time. And that is something I didn’t like because it is not very realistic. However, that’s the only bad point of the story. It is enjoyable and charming.
The art is not something that will amaze you but you will be comfortable with and surely you will enjoy the expressivity of the faces when they are surprised. There are some people that didn’t liked the way the mouth of Muroto is drowned, but I found it very funny and a good way to give liveliness to one of the less participating characters.
Referring to the sound, I know when a soundtrack is good when in the scenes I notice that background music stringing along with the moment. In this case I didn’t realize at all. They are suitable for the scenes but nothing to be aware of. The same goes for the opening and ending songs and seyus. They all do their job good but without delighting us.
About the characters, they are pretty well done, however I think they could have done a better job with their psychological part. The main character, as I said before, has problems to socialize and the huge problems she has had and the distrust she has in people disappear surprisingly quickly as she met Manabe. I think it would have been great to give that part more importance, but I understand that with only 12 chapters they have to focus in other things. Referring to Manabe, the main male character, he is very simple but his perverted thoughts and the relationship he has with Kotoura offers plenty of comedy, and a little bit romance, to the anime. About Moritani, I didn’t like her psychological evolution very much either. She is also a lovely character, but it is unrealistic how fast she stops having bad thoughts about Kotoura. And the last thing I would like to remark about is Kotoura’s mother. I like the role she has, it is essential for the drama part, but like I’ve said, it would have been great if they had developed psychologically more this character and give more emphasize and more depth to the relationship between Kotoura and her. The other characters, although they fulfill well their part, there is no need to say anything else about them.
In summary, it is a very entertaining anime, which mixes very well drama and comedy. I enjoyed it very much. However, because of its length, it cannot offer an in depth psychological part but enough to catch your attention and to teach you a little bit of empathy. I recommend it if you are looking for something light, charming and entertaining, but I don’t if you are looking for a great drama or something that will move your heart.

Pokemon was, without any doubt, my favorite childhood tv series, at least the first few seasons. Because as the episodes were going through, I lost interest in the anime and in the games, so finally I dropped it. Even so, I have good memories of this series.
In the first place, the sceneries and the bso are the same as the game. Unfortunately, you can’t enjoy them very much because 80% of the story is told in less than five minutes.
The animations are well done, and the way the battles are developed are more realistic than the main anime. However, the few fights that
...
this special shows us are very short, and I couldn’t get enough of it, because the battles were my favorite parts.
But hey, we can’t complain about the brevity of this anime, because the objective of it is not to do a parallel show of the existent but to go fast to the final in which they can explain to us the Mega Evolution of Pokemon XY.
So, finally, watching this special has been a great injection of nostalgia. Therefore, if your situation with Pokemon has been the same as mine, I recommend this one to you. You will feel huge excitement with the first images, and who knows, maybe your interest in Pokemon will be born again. However, it's also frustrating because an anime that is based on a game in which I spent more than 1K hours and has so much potential, it's summarized in only 4 episodes. Despite the bad things, it is worth watching it.

After reading the shocking synopsis of Midori no Hibi you would expect a predictable and dirty comedy. However, it avoids making easy jokes and it focuses in making very funny situations in every chapter which are going to make you laugh a lot and have a great time. It is true that it contains some ecchi scenes, some of them unnecessary, but these don’t make the series lose its charm and innocence.
One good point of Midori Days is its brevity. Although when you finish it you want more, more than 20 chapters would have made it fall in the easy way. Furthermore, there isn’t any
...
psychological evolution from the characters, and in a long tv series, probably, some users would have lost their interest in the show (although Midori is adorable and I couldn’t get tired of her).
In my case, the fact that Midori no Hibi was different to what I was expecting and that it offers a good content, have kept me stay hooked on it and having a great feeling after watching it. So, if you like comedy, teenage romance with a bit of drama and you don’t care about watching some ecchi scenes, I strongly recommend this anime to you.
