With all that said, I enjoyed watching this show. I wouldn't blame you and won't scold you for doing so. Many people will find it confusing and will probably quit half way out of annoyance. The only complaint about the story itself is that each arch jumps around time lines. I'd rate the story a 1 just for this reason alone, however, that would be unfair due to the fact the main story itself was still told fine. In fact, I think each arch had things that were told or shown but never explained or given any real detail. I've never even seen a show that decides to show you something that could possible turn into something else, then just toss it out the window just for giggles. Nay, I pleaded for it to be true! But, alas, the show falls short as the only true romance is for the building they all live in that has just as much history told in this plot line as any of the characters. They attempted something that might be considered romance in the last arch before the last episode, and they even had the nerve to make me hope for it. Calling this a romance show is just because the type of viewer that will enjoy this show will probably enjoy romance as well. They give you the feel and reason to believe that there is some.but there's not. There is no romance in this visual novel. In every arch the main lead will go through some sort of emotional experience with that girl, leading you to believe theres romance. As amazingly interesting as that sounds *Sarcasm* they make it even more interesting, and migh I say, original, that each and every girl has some deep relationship with the main man. The show is made up of 5-6 arcs (I didn't care enough to count or keep track) each arc is 2 episodes long and singles out one of the many female companions the male lead has at his domintory. However, what the writers do let you know is how utterly sad everyone is. I've probably just forgotten or the writers put it in so poorly that it didn't stick. What we do know is that they live in on island that is being evacuated, for again, unknown reasons. The male lead lives with 5 other women in a dormintory that is destined to be absolved due to everyone leaving under circumstances that are unknown. To keep from spoiling I'll just continue on. Seemed interesting enough to keep me watching. The story begins with the main character in his bedroom staring - possibly in shock (doubt it) - at a women in underwear sleeping in his bed.
The plot-line, the devolpment, the voice-overs, the music.
For those of you who like to feel in touch with the characters you're watching you might find yourself enjoying this anime. To start things off, this is a slow-paced romance series. I'm writing this review moments after just finishing the series.
