Hello everyone,
Let's go ahead to do another preview for the upcoming spring season anime.
This time we'll talk about an erogè that is getting an adaptation named "Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi" from the brand "feng" also known for "Akane iro ni Somaru Saka" that we reviewed some time ago.
Let's start with a synopsis :
Kazuma has moved to a small town in the country. On his first day at school, he meets Ui when he is lost his way. They go to school together, but Kazuma accidentally slips and kisses Ui.... To make matters worse, Ibuki, Ui's close friend, sees it.... Well, what will happen to his new school life...?
Mhn...can a story be more clichè than this? To be honest this series resemble in a lot of way the plot of Akane Iro ni Somaru Saka with some addition and twist, but maintaining the format almost identical.
I already played part of the erogè (till I got bored) and I can assure that this series is not the best plot-wise except maybe for some particular route.
The main problem I see with this series is how most of the content is that there is nothing new to offer in each of the stories.
Yes, because this series has a rather high production values, nice designed girls and good voiceover and if you can close an eye to the clichè plot you'll mostly enjoy it.
My favourite character is by far Madoka Komoto, but don't expect great things. It's just that she is the prettier and the less bad personality wise in this series cast.
Talking about the anime, I expect them to follow the Ui route (one of the bad one) as she is the "main" heroine of the story, but I'm open to some twist as the studio animating this series has never done a full production of this level till now that I know at least. (Is everyone braced for an Ayumu BL end?!)
From a quick look at the name of the seiyuu, I'm rather depressed as this series doesn't sport any famous seiyuu except for Ai Shimizu in Madoka Komoto role, but I'm hopeful for a good quality voice-over this time around.
The PV didn't show much, but the quality of those few animated seconds was quite high. Liked the design of the main character that looks less "plain" than usual.
Another interesting question note is the scriptwriter of this series that is named "Go ZAPPA" (likely a fake name) that worked on very little works before this, and only a couple of them as script writer!
I'm looking forward to the ending theme as well as soon as I heard that is sung by the seiyuu of Madoka (Ai Shimizu) and Ui (Eriko Nakamura), but it seems that there are no release date at the moment being or well at least from what I've read till now.
Concluding, if you're looking for a clichè romantic comedy look no further, this should be a must pick for you! If not...well, let's watch a couple of episodes and decide for ourselves if it's worth following!
See you soon,
