A Bridge to the Starry Skies is nothing special.
Its a very basic harem. Its not bad by any means. It just doesn't do anything amazing.
The characters are likeable enough. But you wont remember them when you're done watching.
Heck the best character is actually the MC's little brother who sounds and acts like a girl. Their interactions are better than his interactions with the girls.
Plotwise nothing happens. Its just what you'd expect from a school harem romance slice of life.
It has a bit of ecchi in it. Although nudity is censored.
It has its cute and funny moments though.

Every once in a while, you stumble upon some anime that, while not bringing anything new to the table, makes-up for it by executing its already tried and tested elements in such a flawlessly manner that lefts you feeling like it did. Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi was one of those such animes for me, and has left me with such a good impression I genuinly doubt many series, even those more "innovative" with its concepts will manage to live-up to.
A visual novel adaptation at its core, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi displays many story elements, character tropes and general vibes many other visual novel adaptations feature. To me, at least, the similarities between this show of those IPs of the ToHeart series striked me as deeply surprising; that overall sameness going as far down as characters that be…

This is just so bad, no character development at all, not even the main girl, she's just straight up annoying. DO NOT even waste your time on this dogsh*t show.
Even the side characters got their own development but the main girl doesn't even have one, like the author just picked her for the heck of it.
The story is just your average WN adapted harem, it's so niche but I still gave it a chance to see if I am wrong but guess what? I'm right, this series is straight up garbozo
You will enjoy this if you like garbage story, that's for sure lol

What I can say to this anime that It's fine, if you want a decent romance anime with a relaxing setting then this is for you, there's not much drama (expect for the romance part) or whatsoever.
There's nothing really new to the story, I mean a city boy who became a transfer student, a boy meets girl scenario, a couple of anime troupes and archetypes etc... It's completely unoriginal but I'm sure you'll enjoy.
probably the thing that makes the series so relaxing (at least for me) is the fact that it's set on a countryside and the characters aren't really that aggressive despite their troupes.
Regarding the romance, It's just okay, they did break out a one romance cliche though (spoiler I won't tell it), the only plot hole that I think is the main character's memories, other than that not…

Compared with other harem genre, this anime has a story that is 'finished', then at least the audience can expect the protagonist Kazuma will eventually have one girl character. And the preparation ofits setting is also not at all bad. The traditions of the fictional city of Yamabiko enough to be seasonings that will make fans of the romantic story touched. However, this anime is still unable to extricate themselves from having to peel the lives of the other girls, so this anime is full of events that do not need such help resolve an argument with agirl his father or to help a girl cheer a sickchild. There will probably be argued that even in small portions, these events are still part of the story, little by little become a stepping stone to eventually Kazuma and the girl chosen to unite,…

The story feels fairly similar to other school/harem/ecchi anime in that things play out more or less as you might expect. So don't go into this expecting to find something you have never seen before or anything too unique. However taking that aside the characters are all very likable and the protagonist Hoshino is actually a fun guy to watch as well. Despite not being too unique this anime does very well what it sets out to be. It had me hooked and interested from the start and i could not wait to find out who Hoshino ended up with in the end. So if this is the sort of anime you like, then you will probably enjoy it as much as i did.

This will be a short review. In many ways this anime is average, but yet at the same time far superior to 99.999999% of all harem/romance/comedy series. Why?
Despite some shortcomings, the story actually progresses, the characters actually progress, the main male character isn't a complete Q#$%*#^ idiot, and....drumroll please........*spoiler*:
HE ACTUALLY PICKS SOMEONE BY THE END! That by itself, earns this series a 10 rating from me, because it actually tells a complete story, instead of most harem anime that are just trying to bait you into buying the manga. Either that or the writers are too cowardly to actually resolve the romantic situation for fear of making some fans disappointed.

The anime was really, well, how should I saw this... It's some sort of harem that indulges in dreams, hopes and of course, the element an anime never misses- romance.
The anime talks about the main lead Kazuma Hoshino who had always cared for his (overly cute) little brother. It talked about his experience when situated in a rural environment.
The story in general was good. You might feel familiarize if you're a bookworm or a movie mania, but it's still good. It's not the 'OH THIS IS ORIGINAL AND UNIQUE' type of anime, it's just your another 'OH THEY'LL END UP TOGETHER OMG CAN'T BREATH OTP IS HERE' anime, but still, it'll make you scream, laugh and cry nonetheless.
The art style is great. I'll tell you that the visuals is so exquisite. Starting from Kazuma's cute and boy-next-door style…

Hoshizora is an interesting ecchi-based harem, so much so that it took two complete viewings for me to collect my thoughts. It isn't a particularly innovative series but still manages to entertain through decent character interactions and late-building tension. Despite giving very early signs of which harem girl will win Kazuma's hand, the series still puts forth a decently plausible plot line, especially compared to some of the other flops of 2012. If you're looking for a simple harem devoid of senseless action or magical elements to spend six hours on, look no further.
Animation:
Hoshizora is a fair looking series with minimal CGI elements and some pretty good looking water effects. It uses a pleasing color palette ranging from a slightly under-saturated base appearance to heavily-overs…

To me, this is about as close to a perfect comedy/harem anime as you can get. It wasn't just a bunch of jumbled episodes dedicated solely to fan service, which I appreciate. Fan service is nice and all, but there is a thing called too much fan service, and many harem animes are guilty of it. Here, it's more, how should I put it... "fitting" "tasteful"? You get the point. Above that, there isn't some ambiguous ending. That's right, a harem lead that actually picks a girl at the end! He's not such an indecisive dunce as many other harem protagonists. Another thing I appreciated greatly was the fact that there was actually kissing in the show (and not just the first episode). In many harem AND straight up romance anime, a confession happens and the characters are never even see touching, or a…

i have to say, when i finished this anime, i didn't go rushing to find a season 2, or some kind of continuation of the story. not because i didn't like it. in fact, i LOVED it. i did not, however, want more, because, really, i didn't need more. the ending was perfect. it was everything i had hoped for, and more. this is possibly my first time finishing an anime and feeling genuinely fulfilled, rather then sad, or half glad that it was finally over. i still pine for the characters, as i always do when finishing a great anime, but at the same time, i'm happy with what i was left with. all round, this has to be one of my favorite anime of all time.

Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is an anime based off the visual novel of the same name. I haven't played that visual novel, more specifically I don't play visual novels at all, so I cannot comment on the coherence of the adaptation. Instead, I am going to analyze and critique this anime as a standalone work.
Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi tells the story of two brothers who are in the process of moving homes. As they're looking for a place to stay, the older brother (Kazuma) gets lost in a forest. He meets a girl, and of course, he ends up "accidentally" kissing her. This is the beginning of the girl, Ui, and Kazuma's romantic relationship. They also happen to go to the same school; good lord, the coincidences. And that's about it. The entire story is about how Ui and Kazuma will manage to confess th…

A Bridge to the starry skies, is an adaptation of the visual novel "Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi". The anime centers around 2 brothers, moving from the city to the country side due to the poor health of the younger sibling.
The anime is a cliche of romance and harems, as this is an adaptation from a game, therefore should be expected. Even with this, the anime does well, as the beautiful visuals is very appealing and quite outstanding in any standard of anime. The characters are different and varied enough that the heroines don't seem dull, therefore bodes well for a romance anime. I must however say, that as expected from a game adaption, it isnt the greatest or the most outstanding romance anime, however it does well as a harem, and EXTREMELY well as an adaptation, compared to other game-t…

This anime is exactly what it says on the tin, although based on a gal game it’s surprisingly well behaved.
This show is one of those simple harem style anime, where you have that standard plot based around standard characters. Nothing exciting particularly happens but you do get that massive feel good sensation when the inevitable conclusion to the plot occurs. In regards to what’s bad about this anime it’s hard to say, because nothing really stands out, the whole anime is rather average so there aren't really any high expiations to start off with. It’s the kind of thing you would watch whilst waiting for the next episode of (in my immediate case) Shingeki no Kyojin to come out. It’s a bit of fun, but it’s nothing special.
I suppose the main problem with this anime is the characters and…

"Dont judge anime if you havent watching all the episode" LESSON LEARNED~
Why would i say that? First, like the other reviewer said, the first impression that you will get was "Incestous Homosexual" but praise to the lord and the creator of this anime, the anime wasnt about that.
Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi or A Bridge to the Starry Skies (kinda weird name) is like your usual generic harem anime which we have a bunch of cute girls and one boy that being liked by many girls. what means "like your usual generic harem anime"? USUALLY or we can said ALWAYS, harem anime didnt have any romantic ending or get laid (based on all harem anime that i have watched). and not just that, USUALLY my perspective about harem anime was :
- Have a little sister that have brother complex
- Being liked by ALL of…

Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi. When I first started watching this anime I had very high hopes for it. Up until episode 5 I was actually thinking that it may have been good enough to be in my top five. But, as is usually the case with the harem genre, it fell flat of my expectations. Now that i've got all of my complaining out of the way, I would like to focus on the good points of this anime, which despite my complaints, were quite abundant.
Story:
A typical harem genre story: Boy who lives without his parents moves to a new city, where a large group of attractive females fall in love with him. However, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi goes a little beyond that. The viewer is actually presented with a legitimate reason for Kazuma Hoshino (our protagonist) to have moved to his new home. On his first da…

Even though people haven't given this anime very good reviews, I still liked it a lot. I just had a fun time watching it, and it'll be my Summer Anime to watch along with Air, so don't think that I'm overrating things, because I really loved this anime.
Story: 8
Story of boy meets girl, so pretty normal, but the entire anime is full of comedy, romance, you know, normal stuff for harem animes. But I was amazingly satisfied with the ending, so watch it, you'll know what I mean.
Art: 10
I loved the art, in fact, this anime had the best artwork I've ever seen in an anime. I love the design of the characters, but their eyes were beautifully drawn, multicolored, which was more realistic, and prettier to look at, and then the scenery was realistic too, the streams and trees looked real.

Even though almost all harem anime are very similar (in terms of plot and characters), at least most of them have a little unique element to help separate themselves from others. This is not the case with Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, this anime is probably one of the most generic series out there. There is just nothing about this series that pops out.
Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi starts out like most harems, the protagonist has just moved into a new town and then has the accidental kiss with the main heroine of the story. After getting introduced to all the characters, the protagonist gets one on one time with each girl and helps solve each of their problems. Finally, the main characters realize their true feelings for each other and that's pretty much the whole series. This series is pretty cli…

Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is an anime that adapted from the same title VN by feng who also the creator of VN Akane iro ni Somaru Saka. Well The story itself is not so new and just a common teenager story. The MC is Kazuma, one day he and his (cute?) little brother, ayumu, moved to a small town and meet various girls there. The plot is ordinary but interesting. I laughed a lot when i watched this anime. But for viewers that seek the harem anime, i think this isn't a harem anime.
Well, this anime rise in the art. After all, this is 2011 anime isn't it? The character, animation and background is very beautiful. Two things that catch my eyes in the entire anime is that the cute girls and beautiful BG. You will attached to this anime art, i swear.
The music in this anime is okay. The OP was go…

Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is an enigma in my book. Normally, I do not like ecchi, harem fan service filled animes. Strangely enough, when I caught myself watching Hoshizora, I wondered, what the hell am I thinking? There's no way I'm going to like this.
Well, I decided to watch the whole thing through and gave it a shot...and to my surprise, it turned out to be a better anime than I thought. Does it have an interesting story? No, not really. It has sort of a sweet, adorable story but nothing that hasn't been done before. So what was so great about this anime?
Honestly, I thought the comedy and writing was terrific. There were so many moments where I bust out laughing that I can't count on both my hands...and trust me, its hard to get a good laugh out of me from anime. The race/festival ep…
