I saw this show when it first aired, and I found it rather enchanting. I still like it, actually. It's an eye candy show that plays out two different love stories while providing a 'portraiture' of several different girls. According to an AniDB search, this is like the 14th EroGame/VN TV series adaptation, and it's nothing particularly remarkable. But the visual and audio ambiance were pretty good for its time and the obscure voice cast did a pretty good job. For reference, there are '18+' OVAs that use the same characters as this show, but I'm not aware of a true 'prequel'. I've only seen a few episodes of the 1999 version and see no real correlation. Regardless, this show can be watched just fine as a standalone.

Since there are no reviews for this series yet, I'll do the honors.
Art and Animation:[/b]
Artwork is its strongest point.
Beautiful backroungs and settings.
The bishoujos are very cute: very nicely designed and proportioned. The colors are bright, providing a colourful environment which fits my taste. A nice treat for the eyes.
Nothing much to point out at animation. It's what you'd expect from this genre.
Sound:[/b]
The ending theme is among my favourites. I can't pinpoint the reason, but I found myself humming it quite often, to the point I kinda got annoyed at myself. The opening theme is a bit annoying in the 'bee bee bee bee' part, but other than that it's okay. The BG music, while being nothing extraordinary, fits the show's mood quite well, so it gets its credit.
The voice acting is good enough. I think every character has the adequate kind of voice and the seiyuu didn't do a bad job at all.
Story:[/b]
Many people have fond memories of meeting a certain teenage boy in their younger years. However, their ages vary widely, and each re him as a teen. This story follows the intricate intertwining of their various stories and how this young man, who apparently lives outside of time, has affected each of them.
That pretty much sums up half of it. It's the 'one episode, one girl' type of anime, meaning there are little lines that connect the whole anime together. It feels like a different short story for every episode.
Some parts of the story are difficult to understand, namely that mystery boy, Kishida. You never get to know who he really is and how come he travels trough time. The ending is probably as mysterious as the beginning and you get the feeling that there are still many things that need to be explained. Pherhaps that's the intention of the series: we never get to figure him out.
While not as strange as 'One ~to a shining season~', this anime is not one to be easily understood. Like the mentioned anime, it is very slow-paced. You'll find yourself yawning a couple of times.
There's aother pair of main characters, Rouma and Tamaki, and they're more interesting. But their relationship should have been much more developed. Instead, they only get a bit of focus per episode and my taste for romance is not satisfied.
There's also some comedy, mainly because of the interaction between Rouma and a martial arts expert. It certainly livens up the show a little.
Characters:[/b]
This anime suffers from the 'too many characters' syndrome. With almost every episode focusing of a different girl, character development is obviously not one of its strong points. Tamaki and Rouma seem to have a little more development, but it could have been much better. The martial arts guy is the only one that undergoes some real changes, altough he's always the source of comedy. Kishida may indeed live out of time, as time seems to have no effect on his personality: constant and boring. He is in the end who he was in the beginning.
Still, you've got some interesting characters showing up. Each girl is rather unique, and altough they're not very well explored, it adds some diversity to the cast.
Value:[/b]
It's highly unlikely that you are able to understand this anime watching it one time. Hey, I doubt that even at 100th time you'd be able to fully understand it. Still, rewatch value goes up because of this. At least a second viewing is necessary to catch many details that you by.
Enjoyment:[/b]
Too slow-paced and too strange at times. You end up feeling lost at some points and the ending, well... try to focus more on Rouma and Tamaki than on understanding Kisida and maybe you won't feel so many question marks hoovering above your head.
Overall, this an anime whose main attraction is the visuals. If you want a consistent plot, forget it. However, if you like many small stories, than this might interest you more.
