Ah where to start. For a while I skipped watching TOxA as the topic seemed a bit boring but dear lord what I would've missed.
Story: 10
At first it seemed wayyy too boring. A lot of talking and not a lot of romance of what at the time I was looking for (something close to Kaichou wa Maid sama or Toradora) but soon I found myself clicking to the next episode and couldn't stop watching. One part is true like in other reviews: if you watch this anime on your right eye while left is doing something else, you will fall off and need to rewatch the episode to get back on to the train again. Looooved the flashbacks to Yuuko's life and oh the ending... I cried my eyes out.
Now, I'm going to pass my thoughts on art and character as I can't remember the details well enough to write about them but I will say a few words why I enjoyed the sounds of TOxA so much.
Sound: 10
Intro song stroke me deep. Beautiful singing combined with heavy and oppressive melody still tingles my neck every time I hear it. Also Requiem (one of the main melodies during the actual show), when watching the final episode and the grand finale while sobbing my eyes out, Requiem finished it. Even though I paused the video and tried to calm myself down, I just couldn't do it. The music had pulled my heart strings wayyy too hard. Loved it in a twisted kind of way.
Enjoyment: 9
I felt every range of emotions when watching this anime. The happiness, the butterflies in my stomach, crying my eyes out. Even being bored out of my mind during some parts. But I don't care because my personal motto is that if an anime can do that to me, it's worth rewatching and so I've enjoyed it. Then why not 10? Well I would've liked to see more episodes and find out how their life advanced.
Overall: 10
My enjoyment for this anime is kind of different. As cliche as it may sound, I found out that I don't want to die alone. It made me think about my own life decisions, whether there will be people whom I can in the distant future share my final moments. It made me want to find people who'll be close to me and miss me if I were to die suddenly. Tasogare Otome x Amensia's final episode was enough to make me totally change my life style and how I view people around me. I realized the limits of a human life and made me think for hours on hours. Never has an anime done that to me.
