Love Pistols

Love Pistols (2010)

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


Apparently being a "monkey" is a bad thing and it's considered stronger and more higher class to be a "zooman". Catch being there are instincts and pheromones that go along with these species, making certain matches more appealing and/or advantageous. Odd way to set up a society of match making, especially for the bears' story. The ending seems to hint at the pairs that are focused on coming together for a general happily ever after type conclusion even if some obviously have farther to go coming together than others. Unsure if that's truly how the story ends or not since OVA in general are much shorter and don't usually provide the full picture.

Clannad: After Story

Clannad: After Story (2008)

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


There are parts that are still very confusing, but overall this series follows the emotional roller coaster it started with Tomoya and Nagisa's budding relationship. Nagisa is so naive and innocent at times that it's laughable. An interesting contrast to Tomoya's bad boy trying to be better persona. There's a little more side story here as the delve into various situations with their friends and their families throughout.

Clannad

Clannad (2007)

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is a very cute and emotional series. Between family accidents, illness and fights, a small core group of students pull together for some unexpected events. They learn first hand just how important those relationships are and how desperately they want to remember everything, even when it some of it is obviously out of their control. Adorable artwork rounds of the series and makes each episode a new treat.
