    [PokeCommunity.com] Summer 2016: Orange

    One day, Naho Takamiya receives a letter written to herself from ten years in the future. As Naho reads on, the letter recites the exact events of the day, including the transfer of a new student into her class named Kakeru Naruse.

    The Naho from ten years later repeatedly states that she has many regrets, and she wants to fix these by making sure the Naho from the past can make the right decisions—especially regarding Kakeru. What's more shocking is that she discovers that ten years later, Kakeru will no longer be with them. Future Naho asks her to watch over him closely.

    Argh I hate the main girl. Like, really hate her.
    Don't take me wrong, this is a great show in every aspect, I just can't stand her lol
     
    Why is that?

    Spoiler:


    Also, the time-travel mechanics are a not very clear (or a little bit contradictory, up to episode 5), but well, this is supposed to be a shoujo so I'm not gonna start bitching about timelines and timetravel logic.

    Waat do I like then?

    The music, the backgrounds, the script in general terms. The story itself is quite original even though the narrative can be annoying sometimes, and I also love the seiyuus, they're all doing a great job (HanaKana is God Tier, we all know that).

    Well, I agree with you on some of those points.

    I'm... not really sure if those are spoilers? Isn't the future and the goal of the show shown in the very first episode?

    I really liked the manga but it still makes me sad. I'm not sure how much I like Naho because I don't think some of her actions make sense, but I still really like the story :)

    B-But she's voiced by HanaKana!

    And remember, by multiple-worlds theory, her timeline won't disappear, she just wants to converge her young self to a timeline with Kakeru.
     
    I didn't realize there was an anime for this! I read the manga in a single sitting and thought it was quite enjoyable. I'll have to check it out.
     
    Forgot this was airing this summer. The manga was great, so i only can figure the anime is too.

    I'll have to watch it one weekend soon when I have nothing else to do.
