Before watching this anime, you should know the definition of "omnibus format". The omnibus format main purpose is to dismantle harem genre anime such that the protagonist is able to have romantic developments with the multiple different chosen candidate without having a dispute between each other. One famous example would be the Amagami SS.
Amagami SS was the first anime that adopted the style "Omnibus Format". Each heroine had 4 episodes arc in which their romantic confrontation was completed. By each confront's conclusion, the universe would reset to the initial world for the next heroine's romantic confrontation to begin. All memories of moments that happened during

I've made another review. The original one (the one I wrote at six episodes out of ten) is below.
~ Completed Review ~ Photo Kano was definitely a disappointment. The first few episodes led me on, it suggested potential that was definitely never realized. And that, makes me sad. It makes me sad because Photo Kano was something that I had actually looked forward to watching - that implementation of photography, actually really interested me. The art and character design, were actually appealing. The opening, wasn’t amazing, but it was better than average. It was potential. From the very first episode, I felt some, if any potential. ...

Have you ever had that situation where you love the beginning of an anime but the rest of the series doesn’t turn out too well. You get disappointed and just want to forget all the things that were bad. That is how it was with Photokano for me.
This series is about Maeda Kazuya, a normal high school boy that receives a digital camera from his father. He starts to get interested in photographing which opens a lot of doors for him. During the series he comes across people he would never had talked to if it wasn’t for his newfound hobby. The structure of ... Jun 1, 2013
Photo Kana~
I know there are only eight episodes out for this anime but I feel like this is actually a good time to review this hidden gem. I didn't really hear about this anime from anyone and really just decided to watch it because the art looked gorgeous. And no i'm not just here for the pretty girls... Story - Photo Kana is pretty simple. There isn't a whole lot to it and I think that suits it just fine. It's a story that unfolds before you that might be predictable but still enjoyable. The main character Maeda gets a hand-me-down camera from his father ... Jun 13, 2015
this Anime is pretty fucking underrated than I expected, I will make a comparison here so deal with it, for instance, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun as we all know is about a pair of couple named Shizuku and Haru, Shizuku in general is pretty fucking weird who only focused on studying, but I can deal with that, while on the other hand, Haru is completely fucked up who only do what he wants and not giving a shit about what others think, if he wants to punch a guy with his friends, he will do it despite the fact that he might get beaten afterwards, that's

I thought it was really great and cute but then as i got further into the eps i felt like i was watching amagami ss all over again. Dont get me wrong they are both good animes, but all i know is that if you really like amagami ss and want to watch something almost identicall, then photokano is your anime. Of course there are some differences, and the first few eps would catch your attention if your into love dramas. Its nice.

Photokano is one of the few anime I know that are depicted in the omnibus format; the other 2 being Amagami SS and Yosuga no Sora. I was pretty surprised. It was better than I thought it would be, but it could still use some work.
Story: 8 What can I say? The series is based on a dating sim. The story is that of the typical dating sim game plot. But how the protagonist started his whole romance life because of a hand-me-down camera his dad gave him was original, as far as I'm concerned. Other than that, the rest is pretty standard: 1. ...

Where should I start?
For one thing, Its more than one storyline, so its hard to follow if you don't pay attention. It has an ending for each of the Main Girl Characters, and the dude essentially gets with all of them(not at the same time). It wasn't that great of an enjoyable show in terms of Story, but I will say, it had a TON of Fan Service. If your looking for something thats just great to watch that have good pictures of girls, then go ahead and watch this. Each Story arc was interesting in its own, yet felt very rushed and ...

I called luck.... and it's a win...
Cause it all make sense... He end up with all of them.. in every route.. (especially his sister???? better not involve her with this) Best to update the route (Ep. 8 i wish it's much longer than the rest) A kind of photograph which could tell that your youth had just about to start.. a kind of shot... which hold a secrets that hold us together... Well i'd say the anime is a very simple romcom, where a boy encounters a girl... In other words even we don't need a better strong story or any kind of gestures that attains much more mutual.. ...

Photokano provides us with with a unique storytelling style that is very hard to find in anime. I'm talking about the omnibus format. For those unfamiliar with the term, it's a unique format in which we are able to see each heroine end up with the main character, in a sort of "alternate reality". It's just like beating every route in a VN, only animated. This alone makes this anime a must see, but that isn't all. Despite the short length of only 13 episodes, this anime does a great deal at telling a wonderful, touching story that we don't
