Certain cuts between the ecchi scenes are especially rough, jumping from one position to another awkwardly without showing the intermediate movements. However, perhaps due to a directionless story, the transitions between scenes sometimes feel choppy. Their expressions are so dynamic as well, making this such a pleasure to watch. The way the contours of the body respond to touch and pressure is gorgeously done. Frame by frame, the work is just pristine. As I mentioned before, the animation is something I looked really forward to. These details of personality are complemented by the beautiful animation. I really loved the various ecchi scenes when Mai teases and forcefully convinces Reo to give in to her desires. It is clear how kind she is to Reo, but the anime commits to also showing her pushy confidence. Similarly, Mai’s personality is also strongly illustrated. For example, the uncertainty Reo feels is beautifully simply and effectively portrayed when she pulls on Mai’s sleeves to stop Mai from leaving even for a short while. Even without a strong story, Reo’s fear of being left alone just shines through her every little reaction to Mai’s words and actions. The flashback confession is also such a kyaa~ moment!įurthermore, both Reo and Mai’s personalities are really well developed. Mai’s bathing Reo, helping her change, and other interactions all add so much to that. Right away, we get a clear sense of the romantic love between Mai and Reo, and just how much they care for each other. Although it has little story, the anime really portrays the gist of the visual novel with a single chapter. However, what Anata to Koibito Tsunagi lacks in plot, it makes up for in its personality and relationship developments.
The nonlinear (and nonexistent) plot just adds even more confusion. The audience is thrown between the girls and left to pick up from there. Even with bits of flash back, we get so little information on the backgrounds of the characters or the world of Sono Hanabira. Reo is sick, so Mai stays over to nurse her back to health though they are constantly distracted by each other’s passion. It builds the entire OVA on one chapter of the visual novel. The story focuses on the relationship between Mai and Reo. Thus, with much excitement, I watched it the first chance I had.Īnd I am absolutely dizzy with love for it! This yuri anime is finally released yesterday. This title is probably familiar to many of you, especially if you have read some of my posts in the last six months. Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke wo: Anata to Koibito Tsunagi OVA.
