And the morale of the story is, "Live for yourself and to the fullest because life waits for no one."

After watching all four of the short stories the experience left me feeling nostalgic, and with an overall sense of warm happiness, [b]however[/b] it also left me with a feeling of fear in regards to the future.

The short stories center around the lives of 4 different women between their late 20s to early 40s. The stories primarily focus on the age old theme of love; whether that be love in the form of friendship, motherly love, love of an old lover, or the love within ... a new romantic relationship. It also delves into matters of life in general through the eyes of these women; life as a mother, wife, girlfriend, and worker. Sometimes things are lighthearted and fun, while at other times there is a stark portrayal of a dull grey life.

It is a slow paced, slice of life romance josei drama so if you don't like such genres you may not enjoy it. However, I have to admit that I personally don't usually watch enjoy such genres but this I did enjoy immensely. Even though I am pretty young, I could still relate to their problems and emotions which was probably why I enjoyed it so much.

In conclusion, I really did like this anime and would recommend it to most girls but possibly only guys who like slice of life, drama and romance anime.

Yamamoto Soubi has done it again! She has found a way to take two seemingly "normal" characters and create a complexity and depth within them which is unprecedented and which takes true skill to accomplish.

The story is centered around two robots who try to become more human-like by trying to understand the true meaning of love. "An emotion which only humans can feel/understand". The anime takes you on what I feel to be reminiscent of a beautiful poetic journey and deals with themes of love, suicide, acceptance and humanity itself. It will make you reflect on life and is one of those animes which ... will stick with you.

It is not just another "yaoi/shounen-ai" anime and neither is it just another "love story", it is soo much more and has so much meaning.

All in all, this was nothing less than a true masterpiece and is an anime which I would recommend to everyone. It is nothing less than beautiful, a sort of beauty within the stories sadness.

To start off with, let me just say that I am not one for long tedious anime reviews so this will be a short but concise one. So without any further ado let me begin. :D

I have personally fallen in love with all of the previous episodes within this 'Kono Danshi' series so when I heard of this new installment I HAD to watch it and surely enough I was not disappointed. The anime centers around a shy boy who then falls in love with his teacher. Along the way you are gripped with emotions of sadness, empathy and then overall joy.

It is a ... romantic anime which not only focuses on romance itself, but also on the importance of friendship and the struggles which we sometimes face when making new friends. It also teaches one that although it might sometimes hurt to open up to people, at the end of the day, it is those whom we share ourselves with that make our lives interesting and enjoyable.

All in all, this was a wonderful romantic anime which will have you beaming with a smile when it's all said and done. Enjoy! :)

p.s. I also want to add that although the art-style is unique, it is quite phenomenal as well. Loved it!
