Preliminary (9/12 eps)
Hitohira is definately one of those series that made my emotions over it like i'm on stage > the feeling of nervousness (you never know if the series will turn into a flunk) and excitement/joy ( good choices of actions of the anime). Some might say that this anime exactly like Clannad minus the good parts, but I think this anime is pretty decent for a low budgeted one.

The story features Asai Mugi, a dreadfully shy girl that even gets tongue tied when she's nervous. Mugi joins the drama club,and throughout the anime she keeps blaming herself that she's hopeless and blah, but after certain events happen, she started to find her true voice, the voice that she is.

This anime is pretty simple and it is a little dramatic, good to say that this anime really brought the emotions. The only problem was the animation and the voice actors. Mugi's "real" voice was a little too over the top and she cries like a pig. The animation's colors was a little blank because the atmosphere looked like a 50's movie because of its "sepia-like" coloring. But the form of the characters was pretty good and i guess the only true downfall of the set of characters is the lead herself.

Story
9 - it was pretty god and dramatic. i really liked the story overall. I really recommend this to on-stage drama enthusiasts

Art
6 - the drawings were pretty good but i hate the poor coloring

Sound
6 - the background music was average for a dramatic anime// voice actors were good except for Mugi's which i thought was a little pathetic

Character
8 - they weren't presented formally in my opinion due to lack of background but they developed pretty good so an 8 it is.

Enjoyment
8 - I really enjoyed the anime because it was fun seeing them practice and how the heat of the two drama clubs competition is. I also enjoyed the drama which is not too mush but not too less too.

Overall
8 - I give this anime an 8 because even though it has poor coloring and looked like a 90's anime, it has a pretty awesome story and good character relationships, especially of Nono and Mirei.
