Nagareboshi Lens

This is my first review so it probably won't be the best. So, what i thought of Nagareboshi Lens was it seems really interesting. I thought they could of done WAY better for the first episode because it never explained how they got together but they'll probably explain it in episode two.

I find this anime VERY cute and it reminds me SO MUCH of kimi ni todoke which i love. The characters are interesting but sometimes it's pretty cliche and predictable.

Story line is getting there it's pretty good.
Art, it's really different big eyes and modern clothing.
Music, i like it, it has that kind of ... slow but nice sound to it.
Enjoyment, it reminds me so much of kimi ni todoke so i find it enjoyable.

Overall if you're looking for an anime that's cute interesting and dramatic i think Nagareboshi Lens is what you're looking for.

Okay well to be honest since this is a short 18-minute OVA you can only expect so many things to occur. And don't get your hopes too high- what you expect is going to happen IS going to happen. There isn't gonna be any plot twists or sudden developments you didn't expect because you can only put so much story into 18 minutes.

So basically, the story revolves around the same thing that happens in every shoujo-slice of life-romance-school life where popular-guy-meets-average-girl romance. The typical girl who's never experienced love and this whole new experience with the popular guy at school opens up a whole new ... world you never even thought you would encounter! Wow! Okay let's be real here.

I had a lot of irks from this show that bottom line bothered me- and that's really saying something because I usually watch and read shoujos with no questions asked. Here are some problems:

-It literally felt like Romeo and Juliet because honestly who dates someone they just meet? You practically only know
1. What they look like
2. What their name is
3. What class they're in
4. Have a vague idea of what their personality is like
-There was sparkles. I'm okay with that but there was too many, exaggerated scenes too much
-Their feelings for each other are overblown for such a short span of time they've known each other. Again, Romeo and Juliet?

Art was pretty nice and cute.
Sound was good- bonus points for Hanazawa Kana being a main voice actor.
Character was just the typical shoujo characteristics of the main boy and girl character, so I'm okay with it.

Overall it's a 7/10. If you have free time and want to watch some shoujo anime this one is sort of worth your time. Some things may or may not be questionable as they were for me.

Well, my review will be as short as the OVA.

The main characters are the who girl and the popular boy who have never talked before, but one day they do and start becoming friends.

It's one big cliché, but I think that cliché animes and mangas can be good if well produced. Is this the case here? Absolutely not.

It's just a rushed anime because some team decided to turn, I don't know, maybe 30 chapters of the manga into a less than 20 minutes anime. Everything happens way too fast that you can't connect to the characters, their friendship, the romance... basically to anything. It could ... have potential if it was a 1-cour series, we don't know.

Furthermore, the art is not fantastic enough to make the OVA enjoyable. And it's way too sparkly, so it's not everyone's cup of tea. Sound has absolutely nothing memorable.

Anyway, as a shoujo fan, it''s nothing painful to watch, but if you're not a fan of the genre (or not used to it) and/or is expecting quality, go watch something else.
