Kakyuusei 2: Hitomi no Naka no Shoujo-tachi

Okay, let me remember correctly why I gave this anime a 1. It was along time ago when I first purchased this anime in a box set from your local Anime store for about $26? Got home thinking, oh wow, new anime to watch! Can't wait!

I watched it, finished it, and thought. What the hell is going on? What the fuck WAS GOING ON? I was fucking scammed 26 bucks.

These next sections explains why and what the fuck was this shit.

Story (1/10)

First episode started okay, typical starting of a school life anime, turned into something totally fucked up. It feels like the characters in ... this anime just popped out of your monitor and ass raped you 5 times before you even get to say what the fuck? Well, back to the story. If there is one.. Apparently I think it's about some 'guy' that just travels into the past or future or some shit, and leaves his 'memories' with people he met in his time line, and mostly each episode dwells on the characters trying to remember him through their memories.

If I am wrong about this? Well congratulations, here's a medal for you. ~(@)

Art (4/10)

The art WAS decent, and by decent it was okay. Well, for a 2004 anime I guess it was okay.

Sound (3/10)

The advertisement break music was okay, but the Opening Song and Ending Song was really crap. Search it up on youtube if you are bored enough. It sounds like they just chucked a bunch of kids in a room forced them to sing a song.

Character (1/10)

There was NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT what so ever. Each episode skips from a new character to another which you have no idea who the fuck he/she is and just makes you want run up to the them and take a dump on their face.

Enjoyment (1/10)

Oh man, I enjoyed this anime so much I almost threw my monitor in the bin and then proceed to turn on Sesame Street. As you can see I wasted about 13 episodes of my life.

Overall (1/10)

Overall? HAHA! If you guys are really planning on watching this anime, suit yourself. Getting ass raped is none of my problem. It's not like I care. I'm just here to give my opinion on what a shitty piece of anime like this was even worth my $26. Then again, I did gain something out of it. I gained $12 from selling this anime to one of my friends that thought this anime was good. LOL! I feel sorry for him now.

Thanks for reading, and laters.

This anime was painful to watch, the ONLY reason I finished it ... was to finish it. The music was repeated sooo many times on each episode, generic/overused sound effects, inconsistent art style and poor animation. As I was watching this, I didnt remember what year it came out and was thinking it was a mid 90s show considering the rough look but to my surprise it was 04! I got irritated at the constant "stare off into the distance for dramatic feel" and flashback scenes that repeated the same scene over and over again. The story was nowhere to be ... found and plot holes everywhere. You can literally watch the first and last two episodes and not miss anything at all.

Avoid this at all costs unless you want to waste your time. Im thinking of writing to the producers and demand they give 4 hours of my life back...

First of all, every negative comment about this hidden gem is quite undeserved, IMHO. This is an anime to remember, not forget, as Lunar-Anime mistranslated.

You should pay a lot of attention to those little -albeit very important- details about the story, because there's definitely a story and you have to use both logic and imagination to figure it out as you watch each episode. Having said that, I truly recommend this anime to everyone that is willing to appreciate a good suspense and mysterious drama with romance and comedy.

The director for this series is Yousei Morino, the alter-ego to Shigenori Kagayama, in what I'd call ... his 'good' side, because unlike all the ecchi-nonsensical series he's made, Kakyuusei 2 stands, with Pia Carrot 2DX and -to a lesser extent- ONE ~Kagayatsu kisetsu he~ (he could only do so much with just 4 episodes), as his best works, all of those he not only directs but screenplays.

The animation ARMS threw together is tolerable, the character designs are quite appealing but beware of the QUALITY because is in almost every episode (this was a low-budget show made in 2004). Nonetheless, the story grows on you as does the music (Repetitive? Yes, but it does the job of keeping the suspense/mystery going throughout the whole series).

Overall, it kinda grew more on me than I thought it would, so I fully recommend it.

This is a mysterious anime and I find it difficult to place a watch it or do not watch it stamp. It is one of those sleepy stories that do not have much of a beginning or an ending. This is kind of an anti-climax anime. The artist leaves a lot of it open for interpretation and what is unique about this one, is that there are several segments that music is playing and scenes are show - during this there is often no dialogue.

The animation was not too bad either.

This anime starts with a hook. Without giving anything away, it leads you to believe a major event occurs somewhere in the story and it instantly pricks your interest. It suggests the characters formed a unique bond over some event and you can't wait to find out what it is. And so it begins. You sit and you watch; and you wait. Initially nothing happens then a character appears who makes you extremely curious. Who is he? Why is he there? What is he? It's all very mysterious. So far so good, right? Oh ... how I wish I knew what was to come.

The anime then goes through all thirteen episodes with very little happening. Scenes are repeated ad nauseum and your nostrils will start to twitch. It does however, keep harping back to the hook and you feel you have to keep going because something big is going to happen sooner or later. Alas, it does not. The hook turns out to be merely something that was suggested in passing; and the mysterious character? The attitude is that he is what he is, get over it. He's barely even explained. No major event, nothing. It comes to an end and you're left sitting there with your jaw on your lap, insulted to the core of your being by a story that promised to go clubbing with you all night then went to bed at 9pm with a cup of warm milk instead. It's like waiting all day for the Olympic 100 metres final, only when the moment arrives, the gun goes off to start the race and all the runners slowly get out of the blocks then go home for tea and cake. You feel like you've been conned. If you want to avoid that feeling, avoid this anime at all costs.

This is a very simple anime but a realy like it. So simple draw of anime, so simple fun moments, so simple music on every scene. My brain was off, i've watching it and relaxing. Sometimes it was hard to understand it, but it was a bit. Everye one who love dramatic amine must see it and enjoy.

This is one of the worst animes I have watched. That's saying a lot since I enjoyed In Another World With My Smartphone greatly.

Story 1/10
I don't even know what the story was even supposed to be about. It's doesn't even follow it's source material. I went into this after watching it's impressive predecessor Kakyuusei TV series from 1999 and was greatly disappointed by it. They like to throw in some unrelated "sad" stories out of nowhere for no reason which also has no relation to the main story and want use to be sad and think it makes sense.

Art 1/10
The art was a quartar decent. ... The characters have too much angles, too thin, which in term makes them look tall, and overall, kinda look bad, and I really liked Code Geass character designs.

Sound 1/10
The op and ed was pretty bad and even among the soundtracks, there was nothing actually good. Plus the voice acting was just bland and terrible. There was a character who was voiced by a VA who clearly has no experience and has no idea what she was doing. I even wondered if she paid her way into it or used some sort of connections. From the research I did, this was her first and last role. And even the main characters are voiced by a bunch of no names who never really had or ever had any main roles apart from some hentai. And I have no idea what sort of brains decided to use a female VA with a very womanly voice to voice a male character.

Character 1/10
The characters are just unbearable. They showed little to no development over the series. And I had a hard time finding out who was supposed to be the main character. Traditionally, the MC would be Oriya Rouma, since he was the MC in the VN. Then they throw in that otherworldly character Kishida Shun who came out of nowhere for no reason and confuse the hell out of me. And all the other male and female characters are very forgettable. I still can't remember any of the character names and I can remember all the character names from the previous Kakyuusei sereis, Highschool DxD and other similar ones, so that's saying a lot.

Enjoyment 1/10
Every episode of this anime is just unbearable and just had me thinking wtf is this shit. I had little to no enjoyment watching this. That's not even the problem of the source material since a lot of the stuff in here seems to be some original stuff made up by dumb story writers and directors.

Overall 1/10
This anime was an absolute crap and an absolute waste of my time. Even a hentai would have much better story than this. There's absolutely no reason to watch this. If you watched 1999's Kakyuusei and plan to continue into this, I suggest don't. You would be greatly disappointed. It's like some waste of ground and food idiot just played the game one day and thought "I want to be in this story but not as the MC but as a different mysterious character that knows the girls and that the girls like for no reason".
There are plenty of other animes with similar themes to this but are actually 100 or 1000 times better, like this one's predecessor Kakyuusei 1999 TV series, or Da Capo. I suggest you go watch those.

Short review

Based the visual novel from elf
It's simulation love games and you play the Oriya (playboy) on this game because you can date all the girls but just one for the ending

This series anime make something different because the MC not Oriya but something like a ghost you can called that Time Traveler. Mostly in the game Oriya solve the girls problems so he can build affection for her but on this series he only like side character.

Each the episode telling story each heroine and their meat counter with the that blonde guy (time travel) and if you not play the game first ... it's true kinda boring

The sound is simple but i like it and the ending sometime you hear each theme for each heroine

The visual it looks like old anime but it's need cause the setting is around '90 when cellular phone is still unused (the setting of anime is wrong)

Overall is good if you already play the game
