Kimi no iru machi is an interesting anime about a teenager (16-17) who falls in love at a young age to another teenager who had moved from Tokyo to the countryside but she then has to return to Tokyo. The protagonist then becomes an adult pretty much and goes to Tokyo to chase after the girl of his dreams. But of course it's not that simple, the protagonist is lead through multiple emotional hurdles and it's up for him to decide, if giving up relationships is worth continuing his venture for his love.
Story: 8
The structure of the anime is quite unique and at first
...
I found it sort of annoying and almost didn't understand how they were going to fit everything in as there were constant flashbacks but the further you get into the anime, the more you can understand and respect the flashbacks as they actually add a reasonable amount of character development; slowly releasing some information to add contextual value to the current point you're at. I've seen this outside of anime but not too often in anime so it's nice to see some more structural techniques in that regard. In addition, the anime is split in half meaning halfway through the anime there'll be a huge leap in time, I think was two years (could be one) and the protagonist went in a different direction to then return back to his original direction through an interesting process and the moral at the end of story was quite nice. And that leads us to the ending, personally I was quite happy due to the sour but sweet ending leaving really no cliches and actually came to a conclusion. Meaning, no cliffhangers.
Characters: 8
In regards to the characters, I felt the protagonist Kirishima lacked good character development probably due to the squeeze upon the content in the first half of the anime but he has good qualities, which definitely brought interest at least and for some perhaps respect for what he was trying to achieve being hooking up with Eba. For example, his dedication is admirable and the troubles he went through to achieve his goals are relatable. Should I break this friendship to be with my love? Those sort of troubles/decisions. Character wise for Eba, the girl who the protagonist is trying to hook up could be seen as missing contextual value and etc but honestly I think this was done on purpose because we're slowly feed context about her at particular times and some may detest that but honestly I think it creates a bit of a hole, but a hole you wish to fill. Even at the end, we don't fully understand her and I think that's great because it shows the future isn't going to just be smooth sailing but a normal typical relationship that has its ups and downs. In addition, not fulling understanding her makes you want to know more and for the context they do give, it's more valuable. In that regard, you'll either love it or finding it irritating so you'll just have to find out yourself.
Art & music: 6.5
Music was quite nice and executed at appropriate times and additionally the art was nice but lack true colors, in other words it came off almost mildly washed out or bland, which was disappointing since the actual art is nice but it's just the colors. I'm not saying it's awful, most definitely tolerable but it could of been more colorful.
Conclusion:
Definitely would recommend to people a fan of romance, I'd considered it a must but definitely isn't a masterpiece. But honestly, the rushed areas at the beginning weren't nice; in fact the anime should of added more episodes because this problem occurs all the time where developers shove too much content into episodes. But the characters are memorable for their goals and it's definitely a chill anime to watch so check it out at least.

Look I'll keep this straight. We have six episodes of each character being sexualized to an extreme point. Personally, the only one I enjoyed was the Yumiko one because Yumiko is my favorite character.
Therefore, I've come to the realization that if you want to get the most joy out of these specials; I'd recommend only watching the episode containing your favorite girl or favorite girls. Otherwise it's liking watching porn but, the type of porn you ain't into. Below are the episodes dedicated to that girl.
Episode 1 - Yumiko
Episode 2 - Michiru
Episode 3 - Sachi
Episode 4 - Makina
Episode 5 - Amane
Episode 6 - Kazuki Kazami
...
(Yuuji's sister)
Overall, most of these are funny and can satisfy your inappropriate thoughts. However, it's nearly impossible to review borderline porn so yeah... You'll just have to watch it yourself since each episode is roughly three minutes.

---=== Setting ===---
Attack on Titan takes place during a fantasy medieval era where titans (giants) roam the world thirsty for only human blood or in other words they seek/hunt humans. They lack intelligence, communication and emotion.
However, one day a huge titan larger than ever seen before strikes the human's city breaking their outer wall allowing not only this huge titan in but the others too. This lead to huge death as the titans were able to enter slaughtering hundreds. But there were three walls, allowing the survivors to fall back to the next wall.
The military were intended to stop the attack as they're trained to
...
kill titans with their special equipment allowing them to take on these large beings. However, they've not had an attack on the wall for an hundred years, this lead to the majority (excluding scouts) of the military to see the titans as not a problem making the current attack on the wall a complete utter devastating loss.
---=== My Thoughts & Would I recommend? ===---
From the beginning I knew this was gonna be a good anime, the characters had depth to them and I really developed care for the main characters. I was constantly surprised and I was unable to predict nearly everything making the story unique in a sense. Keep phrase as this genre is played out being the semi-apocalyptic, action story however, even if this area is played out or too common I still felt very hooked as they story is very well written.
Now would I recommend? Yes, especially to people who are new to anime or haven't seen any anime. I could see this being a great entry anime to all due to it's action and overall ability to make the user addicted to the franchise. For example, I finished the 25 episodes within two and an half days; that's ten episodes per day.
To expand off why I think this is a great anime is how well they've made it, the action is very entertaining despite being repetitive which shows how they consistently work and improve make every action scene feel like a new fight. Also, there is practically a fighting scene every episode. Kind of crazy but, a lot of viewers enjoy that sort of stuff.
Lastly, this anime is great to watch simultaneously with a friend due to it's popularity and major cliff hangers after the majority of each episode. In addition, there is a second season which is suppose to come out Spring 2017 which again allows you to really become apart of the franchise.
Overall, great anime for whats it's genre is and again great for watching with or along with friends.

The parent to this prequel is Grisaia no Kajitsu, I thought it was good but there could of been some serious improvement. At first I felt Grisaia no Meikyuu was going to be the same, an unnecessary attachment to the series HOWEVER, I was proven wrong and proven wrong very strongly.
There was so much character development and I felt there was so much more value to the main character then ever. I really understand all who, what, where, when.
I was shockingly impressed by this prequel and I would suggest to anyone who watched Grisaia no Kajitsu to give Grisaia no Meikyuu a chance, you won't
...
be let down.
In the prequel we see Yuuji's sister in depth and their parents. These were the characters who receive mass character development.
However, the main purpose of the prequel is to show how Yuuji became Yuuji being the highly skilled person he is and were walked through an emotional family experience.
In addition, we understand the relationship between Yuuji and Yuuji's sister even though it can be really strange at some parts. I mean insest weird, but again still very well written and applied even though you might be thinking WTF.
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend you watch this squeal and you don't even have to watch the parent. Even by itself I found great entertainment.

Introduction:
If I could express how much I loved this anime, we would need a word which held more enjoyment value than masterpiece. I must say this show had me unsure about the ending throughout the entire show. Not only does this show have great voice acting but an amazing story which will drive you through one emotional trip. If you enjoy or seek romance anime like myself I must say this is a must watch. Drop whatever you're watching and watch this anime. Now I might be exaggerating this anime moderately however, I'm expressing my view from watching quite a few romance anime and this
...
is definitely the best or tied for it. Now I must admit the anime takes a couple episodes to really hook you in good however, I can say once you've reached that point, it's just so good. You become so attached to the characters and what they're feeling. Also, this is one of those animes where you're either on one side or the other for who you think they should be with.
Story:
The story to this amazing anime is we have a group of friends who are all apart of this club (they're the only members) and the only reason they've joined is because they don't fit into any other club. Then all of a sudden strange things start happening for example, they start switching bodies which creates mass confusion and alert.
To avoid any big spoilers these strange incidents keep happening in different forms however, with every new incident the group faces new social problems within their group. Weather it be romance problems, past problems or just emotional problems they're all in the same area but feel very different from each other. The show doesn't have a direct goal but rather just living through the series of incidents. Very early in the show you learn who and why these events are happening but thats not what the show is going for. Instead how each character is affected by the events.
Characters;
Interestingly enough the show does have the typical anime roles however, I felt they frequently changed throughout the anime which I've seen in very few. To elaborate, when I mean change, I literally mean characters personality will completely change or will see a significant change. Personally, I felt that was done very well and very good explanations support their flip. In addition, there wasn't any episodes dedicated to one character's development. In fact, what I've noticed with this show is that when something happens, there is depth in their reactions, so rather than making slow/boring episodes dedicated to someones past or whatever. We have an ongoing story rather than taking a break and mass character development. That in fact is one of the key things I enjoyed with this anime.
Notes:
- The artwork is very good for it's time
- There is a sub and a dub for the anime.
- The romance starts coming in more around episode 10 however, there are hints before but the good/real stuff comes in around episode 10
- There are a total of 17 episodes, keep in mind there is Kokoro: Micchi Random too!
- There are five main characters: Three girls & two guys (gender unbalance always creates romance triangles)
