(this is my first review, don't mind me -lol)
The first time I watched I thought it was just... lame. Because I, honestly, was expecting more bl. I mean, I did enjoy the story, but I was still wanting for more. I really hade hope on Togainu no Chi. And then I found out it was an BL game adaptation. I played the whole game, and it just turned out to be amazing. Then I watched the anime a second time, keeping a few points in my mind:
- ANY adaptation won't be as good as the original, with few exceptions.
- It was a TV show, so
...
there couldn't be much BL.
- They needed to explain the whole story, so they'd pick the fragments of every route in the game that are really essential for the plot. So the ending won't be necessarily equal as one in the game.
And it turned out to be an amazing anime. It did explain the story very well, without leaving loose ends. Even some little facts, some little details that appeared in the game and weren't so important to the storyline were mentioned even if there was no dialogue.
Story [9/10]:
It's just amazing.
Art [5/10]:
Nitro+ games really do have a beautiful art, but it wasn't a strong point in the anime. But still it was just a great idea to see Akira, Keisuke, Rin and the others moving living. Can you just imagine how happy would be someone that is a fan of a visual novel and then finds out there's an anime of it? Even if it was not that great?
Sound [7/10]:
The main reason I gave a 7 was that they kept some of the seiyuus that originally dubbed the game. It's just happy to recognize their original voices. Jun Fukuyama, for example, did a great job as Rin in the game, and also in the anime.
Character [8/10]:
Every character is very unique. Rin and Keisuke in special did have a nice character developing within the anime.
Enjoyment [6/10]:
I just couldn't stop smiling as I watched every episode. I was particulary happy to be watching (again) an adaptation of one of my favorite games. But still, the people that played the game before watching the anime really were expecting more BL. And the lack of it let them just frustrated.
Overall: 8/10
