For those who liked Da Capo and other 'slice-of-life'/romance animes, this one's for you.
[Story]
I was suprised at how good the story was. It had many complications. Some were solved almost immediately, but others were evident at the beginning of the anime but were finished off at the end. It was mainly the relationship between Elis and Hiroki that gave this anime steam. The Kiri and Hiroki relationship was just a plot device to further boost the Elis-Hiroki relationship, this was a little bit disappointing as you begin to pity Kiri who got ditched on a number of occassions. A very good storyline that i could
...
describe for ages. Hagino acts as another plot device, feeding Hiroki answers to his relationship problems but masking them as ideas for her book writing.
[Art]
Not much to say here as its great!
[Sound]
The sound was great. Each of the characters fitting in with the style of voice. The music was also great.
[Character]
All of the main characters are fully fleshed out. The side characters are filled in just right, so you dont wonder 'who is this?' and 'what made her like that?'.
All character relationships were carefully thought out and went along smoothly.
[Enjoyment]
Very enjoyable. The ending was kind of disappointing, but then again, no anime is perfect.
[Overall]
Nearly the best slice of life anime ive seen. Beats Da Capo by a hair, too bad they didnt continue this anime!

Well... The original Futakoi was alright in some aspects, but this one was a lot better. It may have been a bit random and some may go 'wtf?' but it gets better as it progresses.
[Story]
The storyline is about a boy/man/teen w/e called Futaba Rentarou who lives with the twins Sara and Sojyu in an apartment that looks like a bomb shelter. They undertake the wierdest missions in which they find things for clients. The story gets a 7 from me since i only understood half of what they were trying to achieve. The romance between the three gets well underway much later in the anime
...
around the middle, and the first half is mainly setting the story up and 'localizing' you with the characters.
[Art]
Much better than Futakoi. It seems they took the time and effort to get it right this time round, with the artwork suiting the atmosphere of the anime.
[Sound]
Hmm.. cant really say its good or bad. I didnt mind any of the audio, but it didnt really captivate me either.
[Character]
This one goes into some depth with the three main characters and some side characters, such as twin teacher sisters with one of them hiring Rentarou's services to find info on her twin. A so-so effort to develop the characters.
[Enjoyment]
Reasonably fast-paced action with half of it romance and a bit of humour here and there. If you hated Futakoi, you'll definately like this one better.
[Overall]
It wouldnt say this was mediocre, but i wouldnt say it was outstanding.

Futakoi! Well, this is a story about a boy who is surrounded by twins and is haunted by the ancient myth of the small town that he moved to (wont go any further coz it'd be a spoiler =P)
[Story]
The story is very good, but not awesomely amazing. It follows the story of a boy called Nozomu and his two childhood friends: Sumireko and Kauruko. He develops a very deep relationship with Yura and Kira, the daughters of a rich person, with a stingy butler who dislikes Nozomu. There are A LOT of twins in this anime. They all seem to have feelings towards Nozomu. Which
...
one will he pick in the end? Thats the question that pops up in your head around the middle of the anime. It builds up the tension by ... oh nearly spoiled it for you there.
Its a good plot and storyline that will leave you wanting just a little bit extra at the end
[Art/Animation]
The art/animation feels like a toddler walking around in your dad's shirt and pants. It feels like they were running on a tight schedule and a low budget. The smoothness of the animation is great. Its just that the artwork feels somewhat childish and incomplete.
[Sound]
The sound is great period. You wont be disappointed by the characters sounding sarcastic at critical moments (*Glares at dubbed versions of Elfen Lied and Chobits*).
[Character]
This was kind of disappointing. They didnt go all the way with the Ichijou sisters or in fact any of the twins. They were trying to add color to too many characters in the short amount of time they had (13 eps). Ill give it a 7 because they havent completely failed in making the characters believeable.
[Enjoyment]
Even though this anime has its bad points, you dont realize the bad points until you actually sit down and think about it (like me writing this review). The anime is an 'on the spur of the moment' thing and can get really heart pounding and enjoyable at times. Im heart broken i have to give it an 8 because when you think about it, after you've calmned down, its not that awesome after all.
[Overall]
A modest attempt at a romance/harem anime with a little splash of humour. Character development and Art are let downs, but this anime is a sound achiever and you will not be disappointed.

Final Approach, the title has nothing what so ever to do with the content of the story, which is about a girl who is forced to marry someone because of a 'government program'. I don't know about anyone else but i found this quite enjoyable.
[Story]
The story is great. I say its great not 'amazing' or 'excellent' because the forced marriage thing is kinda overused and people like me, who are heavily into romance, comedy, harem type animes, will think 'been there done that'. But the reason why its 'Great' and not 'Mediocre' is that it adds a certain twist to the story (you'll find out
...
if you watch it) that gives it a kick thats enough to last the rest of the anime.
[Art]
Once again, another 7/10, the art (please dont hate me for this) is great, and its reminiscent of Clannad, but its just so-so for the atmosphere of the storyline and really pulls it down a litle.
[Sound]
The voice actors were awesome! You can feel the emotion and the passion of the characters with full force. The music was also awesome and complemented the story completely.
[Character]
Well, i dont know about the characters, since when i watch anime, i dont pay attention to how far the character is developed and how much we know about them. But in Final Approach, the two main characters are mostly fleshed out but the supporting characters feel like shadows, we know what they look like but dont know whats inside.
[Enjoyment]
For me personally, i like these genres anyway, so it was a good watch. If your into Rizelmine, you'll definately like this one. But there feels like theres something missing, so im only giving it 9
[Overall]
Overall, its fair, reasonably drawn, carefully plotted anime. Though some aspects are typical of the genre, it adds certain twists that make it enjoyable!
9/10 overall
