Do you like anime with simple plots and predictable events? Standard characters? Move along, this one's not for you.
It should have a "mystery" tag too. It's a complex story with many twists and turns, yet it flows so naturally with amazing music, visuals and characters. The slow pace and easygoing style works perfectly. The "quiet moments" are riveting.
Don't let the low score fool you, this is a terrific show. Well worth the investment, you DO have to pay attention!
Not really spoilers: When 5 friends in a small town/city have their summer break before their senior year? A new boy comes to live with his father. Touko sometimes sees visions of things she doesn't understand, while the new boy, Kakeru hears things he thinks are from the future. Are these connected? As the summer progresses, love and change hit everyone, like a "normal" romance show. But there's no easy plots here, everything is "different" from other, similar shows. The slow pace and lack of "easy explanations" will definitely put many viewers "off". For those who like something different and intellectual? This is a gem!
Plus it has a rooster named Johnathan. That's important! 😃 Honest! Why? I have no idea.
