I just finished watching H2O: Footprints In The Sand lately and it is by far the best anime series I have ever watched. Initially, I thought it would be just a normal romance story just like others, but I was wrong. Firstly, this anime does not focus mainly on the romance part. H2O actually means Hayami, Hotaru and Otoha. Obviously, this anime series focus on not only the love story of two, but it's a story full of complicated feelings. Friendship is more obviously shown in the anime than romance. The love between the couple is just an outcome of the string of events in

the story.
Story 10: I have to admit that it takes much brain juice to come up with such a beautiful story. The plot keeps taking unexpected turns and everything binds up together at the end to make circle. After watching the first episode, I expected this to be normal and nothing much. Stretching to episode 7, only I found out that the series is better than I thought. The story and plot totally came out much more than my initial expectations.
Art 9: I hate animes with bad art. No matter how the pot goes, bad art makes the anime suck. Well, the drawings and designs in the anime is quite normal, not much standing out, but it deserves a 9, considering I found some flaws in it.
Sound 10: I can say that all voice actors are suitable for the characters, but if I have a choice, I would like Yui Sakakibara to be Hayami.(I'm a great fan) Moreover, I totally love the opening. Katayoku No Icarus by Yui Sakakibara is one of my favourite songs and it totally fits right into the anime. The ending song, Kazehane is also great, as it seems most animes have bad ending songs. Besides, the BGM in the anime is okay too.
Character 10: It is really hard work to design the characters that fix right into position of the whole complicated plot. I admit that they done a good job on this. Plus, I love almost all of the characters in the anime except the farming girl.
Enjoyment 10: As the anime takes a lot of turns, it is hard to expect what's coming. For me, it is really enjoying. The anime starts out with a small piece of the big picture and and it gives more hints and clues as the plot goes. Eventually the puzzle is solved and the big picture is quite unexpected.
Overall 10: I would describe this anime as beautiful. Despite all the sad memories and events that happen earlier in the anime, the ending is very touching and it makes up into a very beautiful friendship and romance.
It was great watching this anime and I think everyone should watch it.
