Anime: Futakoi 626w35

Okay...I'll try to tell as much about the series as I can without spoiling it (that IS what a review is, right?) I really liked Futakoi, and I'd reccommend it to anyone interested in romance-dramas.

ANIMATION: The animation was really well done, though I'm not giving it a ten because the characters never really do any actions that could be difficult to draw, and because the art is fairly simple compared to other series. The characters are all very cute and charming though and the bright scenery really doesn't take anything away from the series. Oh, and no CGI is recognizable.

SOUND: The backgroud music becomes too predictable later in the series and staarts to grate one one's nerves, and the regular effects aren't anything special. oh and the them song is a crude rip-off from the brady bunch.

STORY: Depending on who you are, this is what really makes or breaks this particular series. If you really like Romance dramas, this is your average harem (a bunch of girls like the main character, Nozomu)with a few twists like the fact that everyone is twins, or that the ichigo sisters (or whatever their names were) are also childhood friends, and so on. If you aren't interested in seing another harem though, you probably shouldn't watch it as though the story is ell written it's nothing really original. If you're looking for a really "different" series you should try "futakoi alternative" instead.

Oh, and the worst thing about the series is the ending. don't worry, it's a happy ending, and by no means depressing, but they just all kind of change their attutudes towards the situation without doing anything....you'd figure it out more if you watched it.

CHARACTER: Though the relationships between characters are really well developed, their own personalities, while sill existing, are all very similar. I think all the girls have about the same disposition (are sweet, polite, and so on...theree are some obvious differences, but, not so many) with the exception of Sara and Soujyu. (as a matter of fact, I believe that's the reason Sara and Soujyu go on to star as the main roles in futakoi alternative.)

VALUE: There are some deep issues touched on, and while the story is pretty flat I'd never say that it wasn't worth watching. There were parts I cried at.

ENJOYMENT: Ovarall, I'd still say the series was enjoyable and like I said, if you like dramatic romance you should watch this. Just be warned to not expect anything unusual from it.

Almost painfully pathetic.

Futakoi has a lot of romantic potential … until the first episode. Then you become painfully aware of the fact that the main character is the biggest wimp you have ever seen. And that's what mainly kills this series.

Animation[/u]: Sometimes a little cute, but mostly cheap.

The animation for Futakoi is not something to be aware of. It's there, but that's also everything you want to know. The animation isn't anything important; it looks cheap, it looks rushed because often enough it just looks very static and the characters often move a little forced. Not something you want to pay much attention to, not even in a review. So, summarized: the animation is below average, if not slightly bad. At least the character design for the girls is cute.

Sound: Not so good.

The OP-song is definitely fitting for the series, which is a nice, non-slow romantic song, while the ED-song also works for this series as a slower song. No bad songs overall and they fit the anime well, but I don't think they're worth listening when not watching the anime.
The voices are done only decently. Especially the Sakuragi girls are quite annoying because of their sheer ignorant behavior and the voices which are just as annoying as their ignorance. The Ichijoji girls have pretty nice voices, but the Sakuragi girls have way too high pitched voices, even for an anime.
The voice for the main character is pretty nasty as well; his voice sounds like he's continuously being tortured, but perhaps that's just the feeling I get when I see him.

Story & Characters: Too many characters to involve a good story or to develop the characters

Futakoi is one of those series which suffers from too many characters. In this case, it's even too many characters times 2, which results in a story which doesn't have any substance, or much development.
The main character just gets involved with several girls and most of the twins hardly get any screentime except the two school couples. And even those are mostly there for decoration, except for a few scenes near the ending.
The one conclusion one gets to at the end of the series is that the story doesn't end, except that the guy is still surrounded by a load of girls and that you will probably feel frustrated that there hasn't been a single conclusion, nor any progress. The conclusion isn't that bad, just annoying, but the fact that the character makes hardly any progress, is pretty sad.
A continuation of the series would make this series so much better. Then again, would we want to see more episodes with the pathetic main character? The answer is an outright: No.

Value & Enjoyment:

If one can enjoy the purely pathetic main character and the pure pathetic relationships he has with the various girls –who also, of course, all fall in love with him- one may be able to enjoy this series. If one can appreciate a nice romance or a good story, this series is not for you.
But if you can appreciate this as a romance, I believe you will be able to rewatch this as well.

Being a twin my self will make it easy for me to explain this anime to you.

It talks about a kid (Futami Nozomu) 3rd year student at junior high school, when his father travels for his work, let him to make his deiced if he want to go with him (i.e. with his father) or to go to his old town, to complete his studying. So he goes to his old town… and the story began

He is a guy who is surrounded by girls (twin girls) and that is the weird part. Small drama and a lot of comedy… it’s all about love

[CHARACTER]
Futami Nozomu: is the main character and the guy who get a headache each time he see a girl of the twin.

[TWINS]
The ichugo sisters, two beautiful twin that grew up with Futami Nozomu, and in one day when they were kids they proposal to him, and their love story start when he come back.

The Soukrada sisters, he ran into them in the market, and they have a weird test from their father... They are cute any way.

There are two more but I don’t know there names… see the picture

And at last lala-chan & her sister the twin kids and their got.

It’s a great story… looking forward to the second one in April.
