Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, also known by the name Rumbling Hearts.

What this anime seems to accomplish like no anime before it is the amount of fake thrown at your face. It shows some promise in the first couple of minutes, but in the end, all it ever does is puke insincerity and exaggeration at your shoes. Taking this anime seriously for but only a second is a tedious and difficult task. I wouldn't recommend trying it to anyone, my suffering is enough alone.

Story:
A story? Come on, that is the last thing that this anime accomplishes to establish. A lovey-lovey sugar sweet drama with all ... sorts of different and complex conflicts? Please, if anything, you will laugh at the complete idiocy of it all. Fake fake fake! If anything even remotely similar would happen in reality I would be the first one to praise its uniqueness. As if the protagonist wasn't false to the bone enough, most conflicts could be handled just by communication alone. I'm left to wonder if there could actually be someone as stupid as him - as if that wasn't enough, I'm almost crying my eyes out silly that; of course, if a boy has a girl buddy in fiction, they automagically hook up. Seemingly, fiction seems to imply that males cannot have female friends without having a "thing for them". If you dare call this a good drama I'm left to pity you - go read Shakespeare's Othello. Whilst this anime has a thing for conflicts it executes them poorly and you're left confused with how this can even slightly relate to reality. It amuses me how people can call this slice-of-life when the relations are perfect, the conflicts are perfect, the setting is perfect, and the other seemingly non-important people are perfect; and of course, the ending is "perfect". Yes, all perfect conflicts have perfect solutions, that's why you sure as hell can call this anime slice-of-life. You're not left amazed and flabbergasted of how this perfect story hangs you on the edge of the cliff with such an astonishing suspense. No, it has a suspense indeed - but it's a suspense of stupidity. Half of the suspense would wither away if only the protagonist wasn't so foolish. You could cut more than half of this anime by destroying the perfect settings and the perfect supporting characters. Doing this would actually be reasonable and actually add to this anime's credibility, but then everyone would see through this pile of sickening goo, that adds nothing but laughs and tears to the wonderful genre that is drama.

To put all of that short; this anime tries violently to be something it never was, and never will be.

Art:
Pitiful and shockingly disgusting to watch. I can not say anymore, as it was fail to begin with. Of course you need some big round oh-look-at-the-five-light-sources eyes to achieve empathy with the characters. Amusingly, this relates to the story and proves a poor attempt at making an anime you're supposed to feel sympathetic towards. It was nothing short of awkward to watch.

Sound:
Oh, I'm quite confident that all people have those cute lullaby voices. I have to be honest and confess something, at one point in this anime, at one of those supposedly heart-warming tear-jerking scenes I was about to reconsider this anime's good points, when suddenly I'm bombarded with cutey comments that reek of incredibility in my ears. I could not stand the voice-actors, and even less the opening. What the opening succeeds to do is show you smiling girls and remind you of how fantastic the story is. The originality stuns me. The music broke through at some moments but was left unmemorable, which is far from a good thing in this context, disappointingly.

Character:
One of the extreme downsides of this anime, my dislike of the protagonist should seem obvious but that's actually not the worst. Yeah, are there worse? Oh, believe it.

Aside from the perfect relationships that are foolish, the protagonist who is nothing short of foolish, there is the rest of the cast who are pure fools. Alongside the protagonist the other two -main-characters show little integrity thought capability. It's like you're watching a show of puppets. Whilst the Muppets is also fake at least they manage to show some original personality - this show only again proves that it can't do anything but fling out perfect personalities that is just so short that you're supposed to feel rapport with them, whilst still understanding that this sort of personality can lead to conflicts. If you haven't realized by then the extreme improbability of this anime, you should at least by the time the characters are introduced.

Enjoyment:
Is it even possible?

Overall:
Probably one of the worst drama slice-of-life I have ever run across. It puts a dent on these genres that might never be repaired.
