Aight tbh, this show was awful. I wanted to turn it off after 5 minutes of the first episode, but I didn't because there's just 2 episodes. This will get nothing higher than a 4/10 from me. Congratulations, Tokyo Marble Chocolate; I think you're the first anime I've scored 4 in my completed list! |

I loved these episodes... especially the mini-donkey and the past relationship examples... Chizuru totally destroyed that one guy's mother... XD Hard to say which was my favorite... I really enjoyed seeing Chizuru's side, being able to see why things happened to Yuudai (watched his part first), and it was interesting to see the mindset she was in for the entire episode. But I really liked Yuudai's part 'cause I was able to relate fairly well... They were both amazing to me, though. =P I need to find the mp3s for those endings, too. I don't know why, but they struck me as really good songs. |

I think it was ok. The idea is good, but somehow it was not very interesting. Mini-donkey is essential part of the story, some funny episodes...anyway, it's fine anime :) |

I really loved both of these. I didn't know which was episode 1 or 2, so I watched her side first. Both sides were so cute :D I felt all warm and fuzzy afterwards ^_^ |

this was great :O not the most AMAZING movie i've ever seen, but it's up there it's really interesting how you can start with either the girl or boy version and still get whats going on tho, the boy version was a lot nicer, emotional, and just better than the girl version great music too 8/10 very well thought up, but not the best thing i've ever seen |

Strangely enough I liked her side of the story better than his side. But I suspect my opinion would've been different if I had watched them in the correct order. Odds are I would've been thinking that she was the dolt instead of him if I had watched the "she" side of the story first. Anyways, I think the show worked on its strongest quality, the charm factor, and therein lies its strength. I don't think they tried to make it anything beyond a simple and sentimental story. It's sweet, mushy and adorable. Good enough for me. |

This was amazing, great stuff. Im a real sucker for this kind of animation ^^'', and a weird interesting story intertwining with another is my thingo too. 9/10. I for one liked Chizuru's episode more :P, another great work from production i.g |

loved it, wonderful animated, i know for first time you look at the animation, its a bit weird, but after a few min you know that this fits perfect to the chars, clumsy chars -> clumsy animation, and a really lovely story ... 9/10 |

Looks like I watched them in the wrong order of course, but I think it worked better for me. Chizuru's episode was more dramatic and introspective, so it made the wrap up at the end more meaningful. I liked how all the secondary characters crossed paths with both lead characters at different times throughout the two days. Clever approach to telling the story. Nice show. |

This anime series was terrible... It would have been better if it was about a REAL relationship with INTELLIGENT characters. The show would have been better if it didn't assure the viewer that the relationship would never last in the long run and is just one of those "twenty something" couples that break up after a few months.

It certainly wasn't masterpiece, but it was a good anime, funny and entertaining. Chizuru history was the best, her past relationships had such a hilarious endings. I wrote it before, but I totally love the animation. And the idea of showing the same history from two different aspects...I really like it:) |

Yuudai's ex-girlfriend disasters were almost as funny as Chizuru's past, especially where he was saved from the punks. Love that we get to see the story from Yuudai's pov, really helped complete the story. So it was meant to be a rabbit... but mini-donkey all the way XD Also lol at thinking she was having an affair with mini-donkey, and later apologising to him! All in alll a sweet slice of life with a twist which makes you smile with it's light humour. |

The first one = fail. The second one = less fail. It's all too cliché and exaggerated. 6/10. |

Interesting little OVA, a good 50~ minutes spent. I'm giving this thing a 8/10. Most of the things I didn't like probably carried over because of my watching drawn out TV series. I'm more used to slow and developed series. This episode is my favorite of the two, just because I can relate more (male bias ftw). |

Yuudai’s side was much better than Chizuru; for me, at least. I found it hilarious. It was a nice experience. Sweet, cute and full of fuzzy feelings. Whilst not the best thing you’ll watch in your life, it assures a good handful of fluff and enjoyment for anyone who likes romance. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |

I thought this was adorable! I really liked the story; I was in the mood for a sweet, short romance. And I liked the animation a lot (once I got past the ears ;_;). The mini donkey was an odd addition, but it served it's purpose and made for some hilarious events. I find that I preferred Yuudai's episode. Even though both characters had shoddy past relationships, Chizuru's were just a matter of bad luck, while Yuudai actually had issues expressing himself. I liked being able to see him overcome that obstacle. Even if we never heard him say "I love you." :) |

The Donkey-cupid was adorable. In retrospect I think I would enjoy it more if I had watched Yuudai's part first and then Chizuru's. |

Giving this a generous 7/10 because I'm left with a good impression. First episode was all over the place and weak but the second one made up for it. Could have been better as a series, with more developed characters and plot and definitely, take out the girls perspective because it was rather boring. The second episode (male POV) was a lot better executed, with better pacing, better dialogue and was just a lot more well-rounded compared to the first one. |

Oh my god these people switch girlfriends and boyfriends like changing out clothes and break up over the most trivial things. You'd think they ought to know a person better before diving into a relationship. This was so cringing. |

Love doesn't need words, but still... Why didn't you say it to her in the end? Don’t get me wrong... I'm sure he'll say it after the hug, and maybe kiss a little, and maybe have some sexy time but come on man, say it! This was well worth watching. It's a good love story and it's only 2 episodes long, so it's not like you lose anything. Give it a try! shoganai said: This...I liked how all the secondary characters crossed paths with both lead characters at different times throughout the two days. Clever approach to telling the story.

I found it nice that we both see their perspectives. Chizuru wanted to break up but eventually changed her mind. Yadai didn't get to say what he wanted to say (Although, it would be nice if he did.) but I guess not all things need to be said for it can be felt. The mini-donkey is like a match maker. Mini-donkey made sure that they will still continue their relationship. I wish mini-donkey has his own short episode. I just want to know what he was thinking. I love the art style. It's so pretty and calming. |

As good as the first episode. Not much to say,but that I liked the concept of showing to different perspectives with different problems.Got a bit teary eyes at the end. And I loved the ending song,that one was really great. 7,5/10 |

All (?) of Yuudai-kun's girlfriends were shorter than him, apparently (except for Miki) I really dig the city design in 2.5D (?). The posters on the buildings are also pretty detailed. Wasn't there a present tied to a balloon during the Tokyo Tower scene? Why was there another one in the donkey's mouth then? What did Chizuru say before leaving the Tower? Maybe "we have to part now" or something like that. Those men should've told Yuudai! And I wonder how did he manage to find her...it's not like the footsteps were there from the beginning, right? Or were they? That birthday mini-donkey in the credit sequence was way too cute. Just like the whole story. I love to witness more or less the same events from different perspectives, it's not a popular way to tell a story. |

Just to get this out of the way, that mini-donkey is a straight up vision of hell. Was it wearing a diaper? Well, this turned out to be a real treat. Splitting the story in half between the perspectives of Yuudai & Chizuru helps to show how hard it is to piece the entire picture together when you don't have the entire context. It's easy to forget that the characters only have limited information when storytelling usually offers the audience a holistic view of character motives & the events surrounding them. The art style was very decorative & vividly light, which fit the equally exuberant mood like a glove. And as much as I want to mock the mini-donkey, he was the wild card that allowed Yuudai and Chizuru's feelings to finally connect. The ending is a particularly romantic touch as Yuudai holding out Chizuru's gift expressed more than the words "I love you" could say. 7.5/10 |
