Stories 9/10:
Natsu no Arashi (summer storm) is not like your average drama/slice of life series.
It started the series by some complicated things like time travel and no character introduction at all, somehow this will give 2 kind of impression for the viewer :
1. This is a "boring" anime.
2. This is interesting, must watch the other eps.
And if you choose the 2nd option (recommended by me), you will eventually enjoy the series.
There story revolves around some boy named "Yasaka Hajime" spending his summer time in his grandfather house. There he met with a sixteen years old girl name "Arashiyama Sayoko" who claimed to be ... a ghost. From here on the adventure between hajime who knows nothing about the world (world war, etc) and arashi who try to help the people by traveling through time begin.

Art 8/10:
The art of Natsu no Arashi is a little different from another shaft work :), it present you with a bit old style drawing of character (but the cute eyes remained) and enjoyable environment, yeah it's summer afterall.

Sound 9/10:
The seiyuu was very great, I always know that Shiraishi youko(hayate the combat butler seiyuu) was a great seiyuu. The way she say "hajime-chan" is great!
Great! The opening give you this "past" feeling :p you will know when you hear it.There are also some great insert song too.


Character 9/10:
The character cast was very good!
The main male protagonist give you a good male impression at making decision and also the ice breaker at some moment, the main female protagonist is a caring person and easy going. There are also another character that goes with complete different personalities with the main character. Cross-dressing character also exist in this anime. These character cast make this anime lively.

Overall 9/10:
Great anime!
This is an definitely an exciting anime, as it cover some slice of life/drama about world war and peaceful time, and also some scientific comedy about time travel.
And you'll eventually realized that the character draw you to love them even more.

"No matter how many years pass, the warmth of summer never changes.
So, when this season comes around, I remember the summer of my thirteenth year my day as younger boy, when i know nothing at all
Even now, it remained unchanged within me."

Ok, here i'll make my 3rd review of anime...
I realize that i always gave a good score for anime (what should i do...cause i think it's really good T-T)

Anyway....here's the review of Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na
This anime take place in the time when human already advanced and there're some that live in moon. So basically this two place of live make human divided themselves into 2 section... The earthling and the moon people. Someday, way broke up between this two section causing many disastrous attempt and result. And this war ended with no side became the winner, thus some diplomatic relation is ... born. Of course this event crafted some pain in the heart of the human whether it at moon or earth.
A story started by a young man named Tatsuya who aim to go to the moon.
So that he studied cleverly about the moon.
Somedays,...a princess from moon kingdom doing some home stay in the earth.
And the place for the princess home stay was Tatsuya home (this is being set up by the earth president and somehow, the princess and Tatsuya feel like they know each other).
The princess home stay was directed to know how's living in the earth and to maintain a good relation with earth.
This story goes by following how the princess could get moon and earth to walk hand in hand...and how's her relation with Tatsuya.

"After all, the earth was once our hometown
and i love the earth people. We are not alone"

ps : this anime has a good ending song ^^, you should hear that.

This manga is about a young boy, named Tadamichi Aoba (or called Dandoh by his best friends). He started with baseball and dream to be a rich by it cause he was a poor boy. After the twist of the story and some other reason, we can found out that Dandoh move from baseball to golf. He started by learning with some professional golf player whom have retired. After that the journey about Dandoh and the golf started....he the boy who can talk to nature.

Along with the progress of the story, we could find out that Dandoh become more mature and cool. We could find ... some drama and romantic story along the manga with his two best friends. And more people related to Dandoh pop out along the story line ^^.

The golf part is the interesting part of this manga. Dandoh play golf by interacted with nature...and by his kindness. Sometime, we could easily shed a manly tears by his action. This is the great part!! Some people may consider that the golf Dandoh play was a merely fantasy golf, but i personally can say that the void world that Dandoh see...was a world where greater golf player see.


Overall.
This manga is must read by sport lover,
although it may contain some fantasy for some people (but, i think that it's real, maybe Tiger Woods live in the same world!!!). It really can give you a big shot...
and also, the story also involved some slice of life....you can know it when you read it.

"Sometime when i have to choose between 'To Lose' or 'Fear of Lose' , i'll take the first choice, cause i am still immature. I'll give my best....and leave the result for now. Cause losing don't mean to be lose and winning don't mean to be win"
