Story - 8
I have to say, the Story is not great, but it is also not bad. Nothing unique or special will happen in it that will affect your emotions towards it. The first few episodes explains a few basic things of what has happened, so you just flow with the story. But the end is really where the twist is.
I am quite surprised that all this was produced into 13 episodes, the ending was not rushed so it is good. But i don't think the anime had brought out the full potential of the story, many other things could still be used or put into it. So the anime is partly lacking. But i think the anime could have been produced up to around 24 episodes if it was more perfect.
Art - 8
The art in this anime is very basic so it does very well suit this anime. The background is not very detailed though, but i guess that its because this anime was made back in 2007. Even though the art is not highly detailed, it should still be able to entertain you. I do like the way how they designed the characters though, nothing is bad about them, none of those silly oversized features such as the eyes.
Sound - 9
I personally found the OP cute, i enjoyed it all the way close to the end. But then it does get sort of annoying afterwards towards the end. The ED song was quite good, pretty much a slideshow of pictures, but very good chosen pictures for the mood of the song from the anime.
The music during the anime were also lacking some moods of the scenes, so some music didn't really suit the mood. But most of the time, the music blended into the mood.
Character - 8
I enjoyed how the characters behaved in this anime because it's pretty much every high school friend you ever had, such as, a talkative comedic friend, a shy friend, etc. So it really does remind you of your high school days. Not much is lacking from the Characters, they contribute well to the anime. Their rolls are used very well to explain and do things.
But.. i have to admit.. in the anime, Aoi Oribe has one of the most irritating voices i have ever heard in my whole entire life.
Enjoyment - 8
I did enjoy this anime pretty much all the way to the end. Nothing was rushed to complete the ending, so i am happy how they organised the story into 13 episodes. It may be slow paced to some viewers, but everything starts to unfold smoothly towards the end.
Overall - 9
This Anime is not bad for a romance anime, also not as good too. But it is enjoyable to everyone. Easy and basic layout so its easy to understand from start to finish. I honestly think that the story could have some more improvements though.
But besides all that, this anime is enjoyable if you are looking for something with romance in it.
