So I was bored in a free period at school today and I decided to randomly go through MAL pages until I hit something vaguely interesting. I happened across a page on the producer of this and saw this...it sorta piqued my interest, so I watched it.

I am so happy I was bored enough to find this gem.

Natsuiro no Sunadokei, in my opinion, is what a romance anime should be. I really hate romance anime where the guy is a perverted idiot and the girls are stereotypes who throw their fanservice-prone-selves on him either willingly or unwillingly. Thankfully, Kou has a brain ...

Yeah~ I gave this a 10 ^^ I haven't played the game so I don't know if this OVA does it justice or not, but I enjoyed it anyway.

Story
I've never seen anything quite like it. I will not go into what the story is about because it's in the summary up at the top, but it's very different from all those other 2-3 episode long OVAs out there. It is beautiful and different and is very well presented, even though there was only 2 episodes to work with. If it were to become a proper TV series then I'm sure it would be popular :3

Animation
Not ...

Well, I have in fact played through the visual novel.. So I can say I enjoyed both though I gave the Novel a 10/10

The OVA Follows as best it can the Kaho Path - It changes a few things here a few things there, and it does change the ending a bit to.

But if you take the OVA for what it is .. 2 episodes - it is well done for that. The characters are surprisingly well done for 2 episodes - as is the general plot explained surprisingly well for such a short ova. (When it was a far longer Visual novel) ...

This is basically Steins;Gate before S;G was a thing. It's not bad, but it really isn't too excellent. With only 2 episodes, it definitely leaves much to be desired. I understand that there really isn't much they could've done with so little space, but it's still just disappointing.

I haven't played the game, but judging from the story here, I'll assume it's at least decent. The art, sound, blah blah blah, are all pretty ok with nothing too special. The characters do act rather stupidly.

Overall, this could've been a decent series, had they made it into one, but that's not the case..

A rather typical, yet short and sweet anime for its time era. It is surprising how entertaining old anime can be, especially with the stereotypes current anime have. This is a romance which is quaint and ordinary, yet adds in a time travel element to spice things up. The art is typical of the era, a good recall of the old fashioned hand drawn two dimensional animation. Music is kept to a serene, peaceful quietness. Character development in the male protagonist is profound as he struggles against time to rescue a "damsel in distress" situation; the introduction of the character Ligene provides much needed comical ...

Wanting to watch something short and potentially entertaining, I have proceeded with this OVA and I wasn't disappointed, but not impressed by what I have seen either, in fact was exactly what I envisioned it to be, a decent romance powered by a sci-fi element, a story that doesn't aspire to be anything more than that and one that you'll likely forget within a week or two.

The summary of the story is in the synopsis already, my opinion about it furthermore is that it works well enough in order to build up the relationship between the main characters, no major flaws in executing ...
