Watched 2 animes
Anime: Nanatsuiro Drops
Genre: Fantasy, Magical Girl, Romance
Story: Masaharu Tsuwabuki is a normal student, though not very social. One day he meets a new student named Sumomo Akihime, and another girl named Yaeno Nadeshiko, Sumomo's close friend. That same afternoon, he suddenly bumps into Arthur, a servant of Nona Yuki from Figurare who at the time was disguised with a mask. The collision causes Arthur to drop a bag full of magical potions; amid gathering up the scattered cans, one of them is accidentally switched with Masaharu's soda can. Upon drinking it, he transforms into a stuffed animal lamb at night. He must collect seven stardrops, in order to return to normal.
There are two primary worlds within the story of Nanatsuiro Drops: the human world called Retroscena, and a magical world called Figurare from which the Stellar Spinners originate. There are currently two schools that teach magic within Figurare: Pramu Cloris and Saint Asparas. According to Natsume, each year the two schools pick their top Stellar Spinners (the one from Pramu Cloris is called Prima Pramu, and from Saint Asparas is called Prima Asparas) to send to the human world to capture seven stardrops in a goodwill competition to improve relations.
Comments: This is one heck of a funny anime. But still interesting though. Does have the romance element and the magical girl storyline type. Most of the Magical Girl anime the romance not that great. Was quite mild. But this anime was different. The romance can be seen and some parts were quite sad also. If you are too sentimental, tears are most likely to drop out.
But I would say, the sheep was very cute.
Anime: Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora
Genre: Drama, Romance
Story: The story of Hantsuki focuses on the budding relationship between the seventeen years old Yūichi Ezaki and Rika Akiba. Both are hospitalized in Yūichi's home town for their respective conditions. Yūichi has
hepatitis A, while Rika has problems with a
weak heart valve. These teens would then fall in love while they spend time with one another. The story is based in
Ise,
Mie prefecture as implied by the "Welcome to Ise" sign shown after the opening sequence in the first episode of the anime series.
Comments: This anime may only be 6 episodes long, BUT IS ONE OF THE BEST. Gosh, not only is it touching, it does teach us something about life. For those Emo people who think that life is nothing but a big joke, please watch this anime. The ending is Sweet but Not Sweet at the same time. Sounds confusing right? So watch this to clear your doubts.
