First of all, this is my first review. What inspired me to make this was the anime itself. Just think, Jun Naruse is just like me in that we both fail to express our true opinions. I have seen so many anime ranging from One Piece to Attack on Titan to Tari Tari, and spent so much time on them, but I never stated how I felt for each anime. I think after accumulating a butt load of anime, it is time for me to speak up. This anime was great, and so utterly underrated.
Second of all, who cares about a summary? Why do
...
people do it? If you want a summary, it's up there.
Story (10): Now I shall explain why I gave it the maximum score possible. Naruse was me. I was her, and personally, the anime was perfect for me. That is not to say that everyone will relate to her as I do, but let's think outside of the box for a minute. Does everyone really speak up about everything they want to? Has everyone experienced the hard crushing reality that everyone despises but must conform to? Has there been a moment where you said to yourself "I should have said something"? Exactly. The world and the life humans live are portrayed beneath the veneer of a cute brunette Jun Naruse.
Art (10): Maybe I'm biased, because just before watching this, I was watching Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu. Even so, the art captivates the viewer and never hinders the anime's content. And most importantly, there were subtle and quite significant scenes of empty rooms and hallways. They were beautiful matching the story, sounds, and meaning of the entire movie: bonds.
Sound (7): Music, character voices, etc. were all great, however, not perfect. The perfect sound requires emphasizing every single movement with sound and places an enormous effect on the anime. Had the sound been dropped completely, would the anime be changed significantly? That was in my head when I watched it, and I believed this: without sound, the anime would be significantly changed and would have hurt it, so yes it's a 7.
Character (8): Finally we know something about characters. This is something I am always desiring, but never getting. In sucky anime, we get information only about the person from the beginning in the anime, never reaching into the past or the far past. But finally, in this one, we understand Jun Naruse's background with concrete scenes. We get Takumi Sakagami's history through flashbacks and his old girlfriend. However, it could have been better. For one thing, we could have Daiki Tasaki's history, more of Natsuki Nitou 's history, and make everything more connected. Had this occurred, it would have augmented the score.
Enjoyment (5): "Wtf man, why such a bad score?" Did I laugh? No. Did I cry? I sure felt something. Was it fulfilling? My answer is "Naruse and Sakagami SHOULD BE TOGETHER dammit" Maybe that is why I felt it deserved a 5. However, let me just say that it was super good, because of the dynamic relationships and newly conveyed ones while transitioning smoothly between important scenes. It was gorgeous and definitely worth the time.
