Otona Joshi no Anime Time

Kawamo wo Suberu Kaze
Returning to Japan to visit her parents after five years abroad, Noriko does not know what to expect. While some things in Kanazawa have changed and some things have stayed the same, Noriko cannot help but dredge up memories of her youth and secrets she thought she had left behind.

Yuuge
Trapped in a loveless marriage, Mimi has little excitement in her life until a rendezvous with the local garbage man, Kou, turns into something more. Now living with Kou—but still married to someone else—Mimi reflects on the decisions that brought her to this point and whether she should prioritize appearances or her happiness.

Jinsei Best Ten
Hatoko Nikawa has a habit of reflecting on her "best ten," the most memorable moments of her life, but is somewhat dismayed that, despite her 39 years on Earth, her best ten moments all occurred before her 18th birthday. Hearing that her middle school reunion is coming up, Hatoko hopes to reunite with her first love without knowing how much he has changed or whether he can live up to her expectations.

Dokoka Dewanai Koko
With an adult son who sleeps all day, a daughter who barely returns home, and a husband who lost his job, Maho Katou bears a lot of stress. Working nights at a local store to support her family, she has little time for sleep or pleasure. With Maho constantly overexerting herself, it may only be a matter of time until she collapses under pressure.

The whole series was so unique with different characters from different backgrounds and families, each tells a really good story we must all watch. The stories tells us a lot about our generation and day to day things happening in our life and how people go through life with it. Not all stories are happy just like our our lives, its bitter, sweet and a lot mixed in. The animation itself is beautiful and its totally fits the series. The characters designs were not exaggerated like modern anime's and it fits so well with the story which is more realistic.
It was such an odd experience ... and i really like it.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (1/4 eps)

The best parts of this were the sound effects and the artwork. Mixing the usual soft sytle for the characters with some kind of photo extrapolated backgrounds really added to the overal picture. The sounds were so realistic that when I was not looking, I would have believed it was live action.
The main problem I have with this special was the characters, mainly the lead. I don't like her. I don't hate her, but there is just not a lot to like either. She regrets the decisions she has made, but anyone with some common sense could have advised her ... better than what she did. Whenever she discribed her marraige, it seemed like it was just something to accomplish without really dealing with any strong emotions. Then having trouble when they grow apart. Big surprise there.
Overall, I won't remember this a day or two from now. The only surprising thing was when the boy smiled at the end. Was trying to be cute but came of pretty creepy to me.

Otona Joshi no Anime Time, This anime is beyond trash level.. You recommend NTR<cheating> fetish of yours, and I guess maximum viewers haven't that kind of interest. REVIEW
STORY1- FMC<The lead character> married and they have a child. But they only a married couple only on paper, she is fine with taking care of her son while his husband busy in work, she even considered divorce also. But the reality is different. She had affair with a crush just before marriage<she wanted to spend one night with her crush, before marriage>. Her crush even proposed to her and ask not to leave him, But she left<I ... guess she dated her husband before and she came back only for one night stand -- LOL> In fact the child is also his crush's <lol cheated before marriage>. So she decided to move back to him and divorce her husband. But she found out her crush lived a happy life with his own family, so SHE decided not TO reveal the identity of her son<lol>. Still, I feel bad for her husband-- NTR
STORY 2 - FMC married a workaholic guy who didn't appreciate her cooking. So she felt sad and start an affair with a normal guy<who collects garbage> and she was happy because he appreciates her cooking. Later her husband found about her cheating, so he decided to give divorce and not disclose the cheating thing of his wife. later the wife<FMC> married to worker guy. HAPPY end<LOL>
STORY 3 -- I skipped
STORY 4 -- FMC is a housewife having 2 adult children. She also works in a convenience store for the financial issue. None of her children respects her. Her daughter lives somewhere else in her friend's house and her son even don't want to eat with his parents. She feels sorry for her daughter, one day her daughter decides to leave her house permanently <because she doesn't like her family-- again lol, I don't find any reason, she just hates the way her mother lives, seriously lol excuse or pathetic anime whatever> Then she suddenly asked her son to give the keys of bicycle<she has her own bicycle.> when her son is okay then she suddenly asked another question that if he wants a bicycle then he has to ask permission. Then her son told that the bicycle is his graduation gift, so she angered over his reply and slapped him. She has various thoughts as she treated as an object for her family yet no one praise her<lol that's called responsibilities, lol her daughter is obviously mental and at the end, she also becomes one -- probably when her son also leave her<btw her husband doesn't give appreciation to her work, she even thought if she was younger she had the chance for cheating>
SO OVERALL STORY--- IT ONLY GLORIFY CHEATING AND ITS COMMON IN ALL STORY THAT THEIR HUSBANDS DON'T GIVE APPRECIATION THEIR WORK, SO IT'S OKAY TO HAVE AFFAIR/CHEATING...
IT CAN BE UNDERSTANDABLE TO THE NTR FETISH PEOPLE BUT NOT FOR NORMALPEOPLE
