Synopsis

Naho Takamiya's first day of her sophomore year of high school is off to an uneasy start. After waking up late, she receives a strange letter addressed to her. However, the letter is from herself—10 years in the future! At first, Naho is skeptical of the note; yet, after witnessing several events described to take place, she realizes the letter really is from her 26-year-old self.

The note details that Naho's future life is filled with regrets, and she hopes that her younger self can correct the mistakes that were made in the past. The letter also warns her to keep a close eye on the new transfer student, Kakeru Naruse. Naho must be especially careful in making decisions involving him, as Kakeru is not around in the future. With the letter as her guide, Naho now has the power to protect Kakeru before she comes to regret it once more.

Orange is what I’d call painfully underrated. It doesn’t get talked about nearly enough, especially for an anime that holds so much quiet emotional weight. I think I understand why, though. The story leans into fantasy, a girl receives letters from her future self warning her about the silent, invisible grief behind Kakeru’s smile, and for some people, that might be a dealbreaker. It’s not as grounded or “realistic” as most slice-of-life fans might prefer. But for me, that fantasy wasn’t a flaw, but a frame. A gentle, hopeful lens to explore the ache of regret, the heaviness of depression, and the desperate longing to ...

Oh my god wtf was this?
I really did not like the animation at some scenes it just became too funny like when he was crying but the story was kinda creative i kindof liked it but the guy was too annoying and was acting too much nonchalant i dont know why some animes just make the mcs too annoying,boring or dumb.
I am really not sure if anyone who is reading this review will agree with me or think the same.
It had too much overdramatic shit and was really something for what i was not looking for.
Below mid anime,creativity was top notch.
"Appreciate what you have before ...

I am not a big fan of shoujo shows (or manga). Mostly because it is the most formulaic type of all media. But that doesn't mean when one title catches my interest (like this one) I don't give it a try.

I liked the cast of characters. The personality and acting of the main female lead makes her more of a hit or miss (I had no issues with her); but the way she and her friends act together is really heartwarming. Their friendly interactions are likable and it seems they trust each other, since they are willing to talk about their issues to each other ...
