Every single person you've meet in your life hasn't felt perfect in every single moment of his/her life. It's nothing but normal to feel pain in certain situations. But there are people who suffer a little more than others.
In this anime, a mysterious girl appears with a mission. She has to heal hearts which are in pain, in other words, wounded hearts. If she completes her mission, her wish will come true. The story has very happy and very sad moments. It succeeds in making you smile without being stupid and succeeds in making you sad without being pathetic and boring. I would say ... that the story is pretty good, it had potential and used it. There is background story for almost everything that happens, and behind almost every character. The final form was done well. It may be deeper than it seems. Only thing I don't like is that there are few 'holes' in it. I mean, some thing aren't explained very well in the end, so:
Story: 9

While trying to complete her mission, she meets many people with interesting stories. All those persons have completed, interesting, touching and pretty realistic stories. I liked that you can laugh and cry with those characters. Also, I must mention that the characters develop through the story. You can notice how they learn more about themselves, experience all sorts of feelings and realize them. I would say they get more 'mature' in self-knowledge with the pass of time.
Kobato is kind and nice girl. In the beginning it seems that she helps other people only because of her selfish wishes, but later we see that she really likes to help others, which makes her a great person. Fujimoto at first seems like self-centered and cold person, but he really isn't like that. We can watch him getting softer and softer as the time passes. And Ioryogi is a lot more than a stuffed animal.
Characters: 10

The drawing looks simply beautiful. The thing I liked the most were eyes (and the whole face). The characters look pretty realistic. Also, their body parts are proportional, which is good. The clothes were fantastically drawn, and I liked that they aren't wearing the same clothes all the time. Their moves are done pretty good too. Animation was correct, no mistakes, and was especially good in some episodes.

The music was done well. The songs were different one from each other. They were perfectly suitable for the 'mood' of the moments. Here, we had both sad and happy sounds. The voice acting was pretty fine, without special mistakes. I would like more emotions in few moments, but that's only my personal impression. Voices fit good in characters. I loved second ending.
Sound: 9

This anime has many parts different in mood. In one moment it makes you laugh, in second it makes you worry, in third you cry. It gets both happy and sad, dramatic, and in few moments romantic. It surely will make you enjoy. The only thing I didn't like is that there were few funny scenes based on the same situation, so:
Enjoyment: 9

Overall: 9
This show is a good choice if you want to watch something relaxing, but not without a story. Also, it can easily change your mood, so, if you want to get in the story, it's a good idea to watch this. This is an anime you don't just watch, you feel it.

Quote for the end:
"Is there anyone who needs healing here?!"

When I was kid, I started wondering 'What would it be like to control time?'. How would it be if we had time machines? Can humans ever do something like that? I think we all asked ourselves those questions in some moment of life. We all wanted to go back in time, and change something. This is the anime which shows us one, possible in future, idea of changing present by changing past. But, what will happen if you change past? Maybe you wouldn't change only thing you really wanted to be changed. Doesn't matter how small that thing is, you don't now what ... it will cause. This show gives you few answers, and makes you think seriously through that topic.
In this anime, changing past makes serious changes in future, which aren't good.

Story: 10
It is amazing. Really. It will make you watch more and more. It isn't boring for a single minute. Story is really, really interesting, with lots of unexpected scenes. In general, it's about young man Okabe Rintarou, founder of small lab, and his friends. They made a time machine and tried using it. But it didn't go like they wanted. Now Okabe is in very unpleasant situation. Watch and find out what kind of situation, I won't say more because I would spoiler it.

It looks pretty good, I must say. And animation is good too.

Sound:
Voice actors did really good job. You know what characters think, and you know how they feel. I must say they showed us psychological state(I mean condition) in really realistic way.
Sounds and music pieces fit perfectly in moments.
I especially liked opening song.

Characters: 10
Rintarou Okabe - Mayuri gave him nickname Okarin, and he's self-proclaimed Mad Scientist. You have to hear his mad-scientist laugh, haha. I think it's really amazing he didn't go insane after all he went through, and I respect him for everything he did. He's funny in some moments and serious in others. I loved him.

Mayuri Shiina - She was my favourite character in whole series. She is kind, caring, and really nice person. I'd say she's kinda optimistic, and somewhat naive. She doesn't like people fighting, and wants everyone to be happy. She isn't really good in sciense like Kurisu and Okarin, but she is fine with just being with them. Tuturu!

Kurisu Makise - Genius girl. Scientist. Usually fights with Okarin because he gives her nicknames. She is really cute tsundere. But she truly cares for everyone. I liked her.

Itaru Hashida - He's computer genius of the group. He's good in hacking. Kurisu usually says that he and Okarin are perverts, which is funny.

Moeka Kiryuu - People usually dislike her. But I think she isn't that bad person after all, she only.... Watch and see.

Suzuha Amane - Something is really interesting about this girl.

Ruka Urushibara - It's actually he. Boy with look and manners 'more feminine than any woman'.

Rumiho Akiha - Also known as Feiris. She nyans (meows) a lot.

Mr. Braun - I actually don't know his real name, haha. Mr. Braun is nickname Okarin gave to him. Okarin pays his rent to him. He has daughter Nae.

Enjoyment: 10
Every moment is enjoyable. It has everything. Funny moments, happy moments. Sad and depressing moments. Serious moments that make you think. Absolutely interesting anime.

Overall: 10 of course.
I'm in love with this show. I think you'll lose much if you don't take a look at this. Try watching it, and you'll surely fall in love with it.
I'd like to end with "So now I try to beat time itself with the gadgets I am left with."



It's not related with this anime, but I'd like to say this too. "Time waits for no one", we didn't make time machines yet, so use your time wisely!

This is my very first review.
