Story : 7/10
The story focuses on two students, Miou Aida and Haruki Serizawa. Miou is a shy and reserved member of the school art club that prefers to stay out of the limelight whilst Haruki is the boisterous and confident ace of the movie club, already winning awards for his directing prowess. They both became friends and grew closer to each other, but not until the last 10 centimeters. As time passes they had to decide their future and try to get past those last 10 centimeters.
Well, I'd say. The story has a great immense and everything connects together. Nonetheless, the romance is inadequately lacking. I'm pretty much disappointed with the story adaptations especially the re-adaptation for episode 6. Don't know why the tarnation they did this, but I'm very balked with this. It could've been better, but noo..
Art : 8/10
"If the art of an anime is a catastrophe, everything else sucks as well." is pretty much my judgement on every anime I reviewed. I only watch series that have acceptable art style, quality and good effects. Itsudatte Bokura no Koi wa 10 cm Datta has a reasonable art, and I'd say it's pretty good for a studio that I never knew existed.
Sound : 8/10
The opening is appealing and I'm planning to listen to it again sometimes. But, I totally overlook the ending as regular since it sounds like the average closure tune you get in every ( most ) anime. There's actually not a lot to state about the sound, the background sounds are alright, thus does the music. Despite the fact that I have an inclination that there are spaces for improvements.
Character : 8/10
The development of the two main characters are so constraining. What's more, since this anime isn't a slice of life, there are likewise other supporting characters and I surmise they're having enough attention. But seriously, if this anime was a slice of life I think that it would've been way better for an anime like this.
Without a doubt, they may have made up at the end. Yet, it wasn't sufficient, all the weight built up inside the story merits a way better closure. This one is a "meh" which sort of baffles me because this anime has a lot of potential.
Enjoyment : 8/10
I enjoyed watching this anime a lot, somewhat it nearly made me cry at the near end but it wasn't enough. Still, I had fun watching this short series and I'd be willing to give it a high score because it seems too underrated.
Overall : 9/10
This score will probably change ( decrease ) as time passes, but for now. It will remain on the stairs towards a true masterpiece, and it won't get any higher because I don't think anything will change my mind.
