Introduction
There was a time when Tokyo girl Yuzuki Eba abruptly decided to move to a tiny village outside of Hiroshima to attend high school. She lived in Haruto Kirishima's home, and gradually, they developed romantic feelings for each other. Then, Yuzuki left the village as suddenly as she arrived.
Some time later, Haruto receives the opportunity to visit Tokyo for a school trip and wants nothing more than to meet up with Yuzuki. However, the two are nervous to see each other after such a long time, and Haruto's schedule leaves him with little in the way of free time. As they struggle to cross paths once again, Haruto and Yuzuki wonder if their long-distance relationship is worth the trials and tribulations they need to go through.

For somereason i enjoy this ova more than the series version. Especialy the art and story phase.
Well the series version have a good shading but i feel like the animation is kinda stiff, the drawing is not stable, and the background looks dead. I prefer this kind of art because the vibe is like watching oregairu, nisekoi, etc
The story phase is good compare to serises version. Bruh.....imagine 200+ capter only 12 eps????? Inasane....how many important things they miss
Side characters have more role in this ova compare to series.
in the series side characters such as MC's best friend are not really introduced properly. "best friend" is just a status, in the story it is not really described that they are best friends since childhood
the series version looks too forced. they really spoil…

Disjointed, we see in the first place, the synopsis for this being trying to hide things from Kanzaki, but the way the anime is set out, Kanzaki knows all about the relationship and even says how she lost to the girl and didn't know why.
The arts are bad, the story disjointed as changes time frames, with no real order from episodes 1 and 2 flicking past and present. We see before he tries to meet up with Eba or sees rin, they have already broken up, yet the pattern sees him going to meet Eba, and rin thinking they are still dating long distance.
It's like the director is trying to be clever with flashbacks but instead is just causing confusion and making the storyline worse, then we see in the second half of the second episode, how suddenly is the start, and Eba coming to live with him.…

I enjoyed this anime somewhat, the only truth to this i can relate to is long distance rarely ever work. its sad to say I started this anime off by watching the OVA and not reading the manga so most of the flashback woulda been understandable if you read the manga. Im glad for the ending and how it ended, kinda leaves it at a "whats gonna happen after? is it gonna work?"

To start off...I've never seen the manga...but I've seen TONS AND TONS OF ANIME and 5 Centimeters Per Second is one of my favorite animes, despite the fact that I really hated the outcome of it's story line. But the reviews of Kimi No Iru Machi seem deeply biased by many of the reviewers who are deep followers of the manga. I tend to like any anime dealing with love and with characters that are in a realistic-ish (compared to those over the top omedy-enriched romantic animes) dramatic relationship and a moving ending, and this anime has truly accomplished those means. I love modern artwork, touching music, and a sentimental ending that leaves you with such a good feeling that moves you down deep in the heart. I haven't seen a single chapter of the manga, and I haven't seen a clear, straigh…

Well, the synopsis isn’t exactly correct. There’s a bunch of flashback moments, and it currently takes place where Haruto’s going on a field trip to Tokyo where his Girlfriend, Eba lives, and the story of their long distance relationship.
If you’re into romance, I’d say, certainly look into it! This is a short, OVA of two episodes, and you could certainly consider it a movie. There isn’t too much of a story. Hence why I’d see it more as a movie. This anime leaves you hanging at the end, not in a bad sense, but in the sense that everything will work out.
As Haruto visits Tokyo with his friends, he’s warped into being Nanami’s pretend boyfriend. I’m pretty sure you’ve seen these sort of animes before.
However, the lovely part about this anime is that the backstory between Nanami and Harut…

Making an OVA off a popular manga is challenging. This is especially challenging for die hard fans of the original work, even more so with over 100+ chapters already published. But that's not nearly as hard as having a long-distance love relationship, or is it?
Based on the popular manga by Kōji Seo who bought you the sports/romantic comedy Suzuka comes a new story known as A Town Where You Live. The OVA starts off with a winter like setting and laters changes to Spring. Now, we learn about the two main characters of the OVA, Haruto Kirishima whom seems to have a reserved personality. On the other hand, Yuzuki Eba is quite the opposite and seems to be a sociable character. If we take notice of this, you would probably see that they are practically Ying and Yang on the opposite side of a c…

A calm,warm, a relaxing feeling! no complicated plots,no annoying elaboration,just a little bit of happiness and romance! regretfully its just a two episode ova series! but its the more reason for this feeling!
I think this a typical anime of our daily life that reminds us of something,something very important! It reminds us of the bond between the loving ones. No matter how many obstacle you face,no matter how much you struggle,together with love can overcome anything!!!! yeah right! who am i lecturing! don't mind me, its just i am into this kind anime. Nevertheless this is a good short ova anime series may calm you a little bit after the stress in your daily life. This is what i can assure you.
the story is nothing complicated, just a simple long distance relationship!
Eba yuzuki is a y…

Although this OVA was a short scene from the manga, it was a major point in the plot. Similar to the manga, this OVA reveals Eba's beauty wonderfully :D What I liked about this OVA was how it was able to condense all the important scenes into two 20min OVA's that delivered the emotions with a big impact. Eba's emotions were nicely portrayed through her facial expressions in this OVA and builds anticipation in the audience of what she might do next.
I liked how the OVA ended on a very joyous moment, a somewhat alternate route in comparison with the manga where it continues with a roller coaster of emotions and twists in the plot. If the manga was reproduced into an anime instead of a short OVA, there would be no doubt that it would be a magnificent piece :D
