Only rarely does a series break the mold its genre has cast for it and even more uncommonly does it set itself apart from all others. Such is the case with Kimi ni Todake.

Do not expect the quick-paced comedy series... See full review

There is a scene in this anime where some execs are having a boardroom meeting about the possible creation of a series called "My City Anime".
