I'd recommend this show to anyone who wants a change of pace from your traditional shows. Although, if looked at critically, it is full of flaws, I ignored these flaws and watched a show that I felt was a fresh breath of air from the other harems/fanservice/romcom shows out there and ended up really enjoying this. I think we need to stop judging anime so critically.Īll it comes down to is this: Was it enjoyable? Definitely. Frankly, I don't even know if they played many OSTs.

Aside from the OP (which I thought was really catchy), nothing else caught my attention. I don't know what Studio FEEL was trying to achieve, whether it be just a budget cut or a new style of animation, but it leaves a bad aftertaste in my mouth after watching 12 episodes worth of it. While the visual novel is beautifully drawn and painted, giving each still a watercolor effect, complete with excellent and beautifully selected colors, the anime is flat, plain, and for some, an eyesore.

Now granted, this is Studio FEEL we're talking about here, not necessarily your highest budget studio like ufotable or Madhouse, but I found the artwork 'different' from other shows. Having looked over quite a few of the screens from the visual novel, I'm surprised at the huge decrease in production quality. The ending fits perfectly with the series, yet it leaves me wanting more. I applaud Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete's writers and staff for not pulling an ending out of their ass. I, for one, believe that an ending is paramount to the conclusion of a series. Needless to say, when everything is revealed, it all makes sense. Until a certain episode, we are kept in the dark as to what the purpose is for the numbers on screen, and the relationship of the main story to the first scene in the first episode. Without spoiling anything for the potential viewers, the story is at its core a mystery. Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete has a very interesting story indeed. Perhaps too many people didn't adhere to the old adage 'don't judge a book by its cover'. I honestly don't know why this show has such a low score.
