ときめきメモリアル ~Only Love~ - Tokimeki Memorial ~Only Love~


I had to take time to fine-tune myself to this art style (The people looked weird initially, nope, nothing to do with the anime, probably my brains). I could catch no ball during the first few episodes. Ehh... but the story gets better later, so no worries.

Amazing that this came from a MMO, I never expected that one coming. What would happen if in reality,  you had the entire school chasing after you? Scary huh? Sounds quite fun, that should be how exciting campus life should be. Better still, so much freedom to do what you like in school, what you wear (I don't recommend those fancy hairbands or whatever you call them), what events to host (those student council events are damn epic). Aoba-kun should learn better to appreciate the new high school environment.

The harem isn't so fantastic, more like drama to me. Average female characterization here don't seem to bring out the feeling to the max, you know, the feeling ah~. Of all 25 episodes, I can only say that the last few were the best. The anime didn't seem to have a balanced climax, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

" Aoba Riku has just transferred to a new high school because of his father's job, and things aren't quite what he expected. The headmaster's secretary controls the school while espousing the virtues of academic freedom, the teachers are even stranger than normal teachers, and half the student body is walking around with animal ears on. On his very first day, Riku is unfortunate enough to find himself at the center of the student council's latest event, which has him running for his life. All this on top of the normal high school rigour of popularity contests, crushes, and homework makes it unsure whether Riku will be able to survive this new school. " - ANN
