Fall 2007 anime reviews:
Clannad
Genre: School, Romance, Drama
Review: Tomoya is a rather laid back high school student, rarely
attending classes, having very few friends and no particular interest in
anything. After his mother died his father lost his job and became an alcoholic.
In fight with him his right arm got injured so bad that he can’t play basketball
anymore even today. Even though his father feels guilty for it Tomoya still
hasn’t forgiven him. By chance he meets Furukawa on his way to school and
somehow gets involved with her more and more. Furukawa is a clumsy girl
who missed a year of high school because of sickness and now all her friends
have graduated. Both having not many friends they start seeing and helping
each other very often. Will she be able to make him walk into a better
future instead of sulking over the past?
Clannad is yet another masterpiece by KyoAni who brought us shows like
Air; Kannon2006, Suzumiya Haruhu and Lucky Star. When KyoAni is working
on a project great animation quality and plot are guaranteed so I doubt
there is a possibility for this show to flop. The main character is designed
perfectly credible and realistic as always and the plot has great potential
for development and drama, while never missing out on the comedy part.
Rating: 9,5/10
ef - a tale of memories
Genre: Romance, Drama
Review: So here is seemingly yet another anime adaptation of
an anime-game that is famous for its extraordinarily amazing artwork and
story. Hirono Hiro is an active mangaka and therefore quite busy and often
skips school. On Christmas Eve he bums into a mysterious girl from his
school, who he didn’t know until now as she is also often skipping classes.
It seems from today on their ways will cross each other more regularly.
On the other hand there is Renji who happened to meet a girl called Chihiro
at a deserted rail road. They are both interested in literature and it
didn’t take them long to get interested in each other as well. But there
is something that Renji finds odd about that girl and it isn’t only the
fact that she is not attending any school for some reason. What Renji does
not know is that she has a mental illness that makes her constantly forget
anything that happened in the last 13 hours. Still she is trying her best
to stay friends with him.
As this amazing story continues we will get to know more characters,
their problems and how they are all connected with each other. Ef is a
more drama and story oriented anime, unlike all those other harem/comedy
anime game adaptations that flood the market each season for the last 10
years. The unique animation and camera-movements, same as the serious themes
and topics that each of the characters are dealing with in their own ways,
is what makes this show different and probably the best series this season
even while competing against KyoAni’s Clannad and all those second seasons
of well established anime that are airing currently.

Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun
Genre: Romance, Harem, Comedy, Fantasy, Ecchi
Review: Shungo seems to be a normal high school student living
in an extraordinarily big house together with his sister. At school he
is the, as he thinks, unlucky victim of all the girls teasing and sexual
harassment. One day his sister tells him the new transfer student Mayu
and her brother are going to stay in their house. The weird thing is they
are both Succubus, which are demons who are no different from human despite
their ability to hypnotically attract the opposite gender and suck their
life energy by body contact. At school Mayu is the center of all the boys
attention; her only problem is her androphobia, which means she is very
afraid of being near to men, which is a rather ironic mental illness for
a succubus. As Shungo somehow seems immune to Mayus constant incontrollable
hypnotism his sister assigns him to the task of curing her of her androphobia.
Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun can be considered a romantic harem comedy
with plenty of fanservice and enjoyable characters, but it`s a little different
from the typical harem anime shows as it is based on a light novel instead
of a dating-sim game.
Rating: 8,5/10
KimiKiss Pure Rouge
Genre: Romance, Harem, Ecchi, Comedy
Review: Kouichi’s parents are currently living overseas so he
has to manage to live on his own together with his little sister. When
suddenly the doorbell rings, it is not his parents but his childhood friend
Mao returning from overseas while Kouichi’s parents agreed for her to stay
at their home. To Kouichi’s surprise Moa isn’t the study obsessed nerd
she used to be anymore, but rather grew up to be quite the energetic beauty.
Now he seems torn between the growing feeling he starts to have for her
and the feeling he has for his long-shot high school crush.
Kimikiss is a lighthearted high school romance/comedy show dealing
with multiple people, their problematic relationships and puberty. To this
point it seems quite different to the KimiKiss manga, while I’m not able
to compare it to the dating-sim game it is based on.
Rating: 7/10
Minami-ke
Genre: Comedy
Review: Minami-ke portrays the (ordinary?) daily life of the
3 sisters Haruka, Kana, and Chiaki at home and at school. Even though they
are sisters they possess very different personalities.
This series is mainly about comedy and comparable to shows like Azumanga
Daioh and Ichigo Mashimaro.
Rating: 9,5/10
D.C. II (Da Capo II)
Genre: Drama, Romance, Harem, Fantasy, Comedy
Review: So here we go again with the third installment of the
popular Da Capo series based on a game of the same name. Again the story
is set on this mysterious island where the sakura trees never cease to
bloom, but this time it’s 53 years in the future. We are following the
daily lifes of all the first season cast’s grandchildren and our new protagonist
already gets confessed to in the first episode. Let’s hope we will get
to see a pleasant mix of romance, comedy, magic and drama again as the
story continues.
Rating: 7/10
