Beside I like Kimi ni Todoke, another anime I like from IG production is Ao Haru Ride. This anime is sweet, charm, a bit of girly hilarious and has a nice short story. It started with a female main character Futaba fallen in love with a guy Tanaka in middle school, they promise each other wait at the clock's Triangle park to date but turn out Tanaka's family issue and he went other place to study middle school. Futaba try to forget him by making a lot of friend and spend time with them, life turn out pretty well for her. However during high school of third semester, she saw him again at the high school., and he also change his name to Kou due to family issue again. And so the interesting story begins. I like their chemistry between them , he cold to her and tease her, and at the same time he just really care about Futaba. Of course there is a supporting character Kominato chill and easy going guy, Murao care about Futaba's brother and didn't fit to certain friend and of course story definitely need a love rival like little cute Makita who like Futaba. Most of the part I enjoy is their love chemistry and other than that still decent. Flaws of this anime is episodes are quite short and a bit rush and feel like a intro a bit, disappointed them didn't coming out for proper dating is cliffhanging ending story is like IG production wanna do another season but didn't in the end, Why Why??? and didn't mention other character much, sound for this anime is not that great. Hopefully IG productions will make second season of Ao Haru Ride like Kimi ni Todoke. Overall, I think this anime is pretty good and quite solid.
Story: 8.5
Art: 8
Sound: 7
Character: 8.8
Enjoyment: 8.5
Overall: 8.2 (high score if another season release, huge potential anime)
Hopefully after I giving good score, ig productions will consider making another season of Kimi ni Todoke and Ao Haru Ride.
