Kimi no Iru Machi: Tasogare Kousaten

Well, where to start.... Firstly, the art quality..... Whilst the prior animation suzuka managed to keep characters similar between them, the character art between the manga and OVA in this case aren't even comparable. The shading is flat, Haruto's hair is completely wrong, The characters have lost alot of what makes their designs work in the transistion to the OVA, The facial expressions, no, the actual faces themselves barely resemble the Manga, which to me means a loss of part of the best aspect of the manga.

both Kanzaki-san and haruto's yankee child hood friend lost the impact of their character by failing to transition ... their suzuka similar hair styles and attitude with the transistion to the anime.

Not even the fact it followed some part of the manga can save this OVA from flat out failure. Its surprising the artist actually allowed this to go to screen.

This is typical Tatsunoko Pro who have earned the title of the company that provides the worst animation out there.

Disjointed, we see in the first place, the synopsis for this being trying to hide things from Kanzaki, but the way the anime is set out, Kanzaki knows all about the relationship and even says how she lost to the girl and didn't know why.

The arts are bad, the story disjointed as changes time frames, with no real order from episodes 1 and 2 flicking past and present. We see before he tries to meet up with Eba or sees rin, they have already broken up, yet the pattern sees him going to meet Eba, and rin thinking they are still ... dating long distance.

It's like the director is trying to be clever with flashbacks but instead is just causing confusion and making the storyline worse, then we see in the second half of the second episode, how suddenly is the start, and Eba coming to live with him.

I cannot understand the popularity of this trash. It's badly written, the art is poor and the music, the characters have no real background and the way they are all pieced together makes it poor overall. I have taught kids who could put a story together better at 11.
