Orange - Reviews

This anime is very touching and full of feels. 
If you don't want to cry - don't watch it.! Because you definitely will.
At first it reminded me a lot of Ao Haru Ride, but it's even more dramatical and it's more romance in it, I think. (at least they tell eachother there feelings....)

What I personally didn't like about this anime was the animation (sometimes it was worse) and the maincharacter.
She's kinda disappointing and stupid, tbh.
Without her friends she wouldn't have accomplished anything, that's what gives the anime the perfect balance if you don't like the maincharacter like me. 

The story was touching and the moments in this anime also made me smile while crying. (Maybe I'm a weak person....?)

Anyway, I'm looking forward to a second season. (If there's gonna be one someday)

This anime touches on a very important subject of mental health. But I think the story and specially the execusion was very poor. Naho is specially very annoying. Even after the letters Naho blunders the new year's eve. Naho is constantly messing things up and they basically live a very similar present to their letter from future's past. They make very less changes. The in between episodesget really boring..only the last episde saves it a bit. I feel Suha is the only one who actually makes an impact changing the future, even Hagita does better than Naho by damaging his cycle.

Okay i loved the story and the music. The reason it doesn't have a really great grade is because of the main character Noah. I mean i think she's SO DUMB and can be annoying i sometimes wanted to slap her. 

This is minor, but it's what kept me from enjoying this anime to the fullest. Too bad, because otherwise i really love all the other characters. It's just because of the main characer. Too bad, really.

The storyline was authentic. Instead of veiwing it from the victims point of view, we get to see it through the eyes of someone close to them. It potrays sucide and the meaning of learning the importance of what we say or do can affect someone no matter how small. It is relatable as it speaks on self-hate, guilt and regret something we've all experienced at a point in our lives. It also adds a touch of romance which adds extra light to the mood. Overall, I loved it and recommend it for everyone. However, be sure to grab a box of tissue. Trust me, you'll need it.

P.S. The ending almost gave me a heart attack, I was in tears until...lol watch it and find out ;)

I stopped watching at episode 4. I realize the show is already quite a few years old, but I've been trying to find good dramas without the comedy that i haven't seen yet. I wasn't expecting a lot, but this just had nothing going for it for me.

Basically, as others have probably pointed out, this show doesn't do anything new in it's category. And it doesn't have to do that to be a good anime. However, it also isn't doing anything typical in any kind of great way. The story's end result is immediately predictable regardless of whatever melodrama will happen in between. And, the characters have no depth. All in all it just feels like this show is going through the motions and following a formula. It's not terrible, but there are a number of better shows out there that would be better to watch.

I suppose if it's your first time watching this kind of show, it might have more of an impact on you. However, I'd recommend checking out higher ranked anime in this genre instead.
