Not bad. Was a bit surprised at how outright and sentimental some of these were, esp considering that Mochizuki also did Ocean Waves.

"I Want to Hold Your Hand", "Betrayal in the City", and "Lion and Pelican" were my favorites. The rest were a miss for me.

I came for the Beatles, but I stayed for the Stones.

In all seriousness though there was some pretty good stuff here. Some things that really stood out to me were the sound design and the level of realistic detail (okay, some of them were photographs) in the backgrounds and environments.

Quite liked most of these. The direction was pretty cool in some of them (I think it was 4), the sixth one was pretty well realized despite the time. The english OST's were surprisingly fitting.

Solid 7/10.

A meaningless juxtaposition of 9 ±anecdotal romance vignettes (10mn each), each director bringing near to nothing to his own story.

Enjoyment: 3/5 Music, environment, and 80s style were enough to pass the time.
Score: 4/10

9 different love stories. Its so fuckin classic. Everything had their own strength. Since its a short one, can't blame my mind if its just arrive and then gone without having significance effect. Surely its sweet, but too short, without having a solidified story to begin with, its just vanished like a snow in the winter edge. White Christmas surely the best story in these one. Idk how he could survived 4 long hours at those conditions. Damn must be crazy! While the weak one when the rugby player found her beloved girl again. I mean, its a fuckin ntr!
4/10.
Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here.

Two of the stories were dragged down by montage's but i didn't dislike any of the stories. Most stories were just decent but there was couple of good ones.

I just wish they would have put bit more effort to make everything look nicer but it's not like the OVA look's bad or anything.

I was thinking scoring it between 6-7 and ended up giving 7.

Cool to see the Beatles straight up getting a chunk of their song played in anime, I wish something like that could happen in JoJo, for example.

Mostly good stories, although the yakuza one was kinda eeh. But I appreciate some seinen romance!

I guess I ain't dead inside yet, all the sentimentality in this touches my heart.

Some stories were decent, some bad. Overall, not very impressive.
