You ever play where's waldo and get super pissed because you really can't find that sneaky bugger? Well, welcome to Kono Naka and trust me. You really won't know where waldo is until the very end.

Story: So the story is based around our main character who happens to be the lucky recipient of a huge Trust fund but alas he must first get married. That's where the story takes huge turn. You'd think to yourself, "ok, well he's gonna meet a bunch of girls and fall in love." WRONG! That's where the unique part of the story comes in to play. It just so happens ... that one of the girls is his sister.

Characters: You know the characters aren't awful. They might at times seem like they're trying way too hard but that's what makes the show so amazing. It really keeps you on your toes and wondering, "damn, which one is the sister." In fact, my guess to who was his sister was completely wrong.

Overall: So ya, this show has it's little incestuous twist but in all honesty it makes the show very funny and it sort of turns it into a little guessing game. You know after reading other reviews I noticed that most people either hated it or loved it. So if you do plan to watch this. Don't expect some amazing love story because that's not what this is. If you plan to watch this, which I do hope you take the time, understand that this is more comedy then it is romance.

Possibly one of the most typical plot lines you see in slice of life Romcoms is the Childhood friends becoming lovers. Although the story is overused and been done time and time again it's the build-up that matters and even though in Lamune some of it seemed a bit cliched, I still had a nice time watching this anime.

Story: Yes, Yes I know it's been done. And i know you've probably read the synopsis and thought to yourself, "wow, I've already seen about 1000 of those." Well, your probably right about that but don't let that be what deters you away from Lamune. The ... story is about 2 childhood friends who've been through everything together. They've lived their complete lives in the country right next door to each other. But, neither has ever tried to push the relationship any closer. In the series, your shown various flashbacks of memories they both share and although they've gotten older the things they do haven't really changed much. But, the characters themselves have.

Art: For a 2005 anime, I must say it wasn't terrible artwork. Obviously, it's not in the same league as some of the newer anime in 2012(SAO,Toradora etc.) but the characters look nice.

Characters: I found the characters to be very likable even though at some points in the show the things they do seem a bit questionable.

Overall: If your in the mood for a very lighthearted romance then this is definitely worth your time. Don't expect overly romantic scenes or a suprise confession. The love between them is slow but it's building and even if your not a fan of slow love stories, the ending will leave you with a big stupid grin on your face.

Tonagura! or as I like to think of it, The anime that was almost amazing. Although, at first glance it may seem like just another one of those cliched childhood romance animes. It's actually better then it seems. In fact, I was only about 3 episodes into it when it actually grabbed my attention and didn't let me stray for 1 second.

Story: The story isn't really complex at all. In fact, it's actually pretty straightfoward. there's no thinking involved or even guessing. The synopsis on the anime IS what the anime is about. It's funny though and although I've read in other reviews of ... this anime that it's ecchi filled, I found that to be sort of untrue. I mean in comparison to animes like High school DxD and High school of the Dead this anime is pretty mild at best.

Characters: Omg i love the characters. If it wasnt for the amazing characters this pretty simplistic story would've been terrible. I mean the sister alone isn't even a main character but after a couple of episodes you sort of grow attached to her and the rest of them.

Overall: Even if your hesitant to watch this anime I beg you, don't pass it up. Obviously it's not a Clannad or Kanon but it definitley entertains for 13 episodes. The only bad thing i can say about this anime is that they could have done alot more. It's not amazing but it'll make you laugh and maybe bring out some other emotions. :)

Man oh man. Lovely complex.. There's 1 thing that's true about this story. It's too complex. I don't mean to bash on the show at all though it still had some strong points which make it worth watching but if your looking for a great love story you might get sorely disappointed.

Story - 3: I honestly don't know why this anime is so highly recomended and talked about. It's very lack luster compared to others of it's genre that do a better job.(school rumble,toradora) The story is very slow. I mean very slow. I appreciate the character development. But, it seemed like sometimes ... the episode weren't even focused on the relationship at hand. Sort of like watching naruto fillers. Nothing to do with the real story but nice to watch.

Art - 7: It was nicely drawn. I even like the colors they used to portray the scenery in many episodes.

Characters - 8: For the most part, I liked the characters. excluding Risa. She becomes very annoying at times.

Overall: Look, if you like romance animes. I'd take a peek. But I personally couldn't even finish the story just due to the horrible story line. But, if you have the time and maybe even can cope with unnecessarily drawn out love stories then take a peek.

Let me just say this is my first review, so please bare with me.
Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is possibly the most tragic rom/slice of life i've ever seen.... Not that it was overly dramatic but the story really didn't measure up to my expectations.

Story:3
Now I personally like the story regardless of the cliches. It wasn't spectacular but it wasn't so awful i had to up and quit the show.

Art:7
I loved the art. It was a little too glossy for my tastes but it was well done and the characters looked nice :).

Sound:7
The sound was great. Not horrible, Nothing that ... would bug you during viewing.

Characters:6
I'd have to say even though the characters seemed to just be like any other characters from any other harem, they had this feel to them as if they were each unique in their own sense.

Enjoyment:6
The story line was your run of the mill harem. You had your karaoke and your beach seen. They also included the other events you usually see.

Overall:5
Now i'm not gonna say this was the worst anime I've ever seen but it was far from the best. The twist at the end will leave you puzzled thinking. "WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS OK?" The story up until the last 2 episodes was pretty genuine though. I thought it was going for a feeling sort of like AIR or KANON. Don't be too judgmental though and pass up on this anime due to the reviews or forum posts. It's not as bad as it seems. The reason the anime probably got the awful reviews was due to the ending. Which I'll leave you to critique yourself. If your gonna give this a shot though make sure to be prepared because your either gonna hate it or your gonna love it.
