Well, short version, this show is a Romeo&Juliet-esque type of show and it has a solid ending (that is a big plus imo). What made this show enjoyable are the characters and the relationship between them. Romance and comedy are strong in this one.
Overall, a romantic comedy with some drama and a bit of sci-fi, it has a closed ending, a nice pace and likeable characters. It was better than I expected and it really filled my need of some romantic stuff. Besides, it's just 12 episodes, you won't lose much trying it.
A bit more details, all the character have funny moments, serious moments and even mean moments. This made it very enjoyable for me.
The MC has a personality and a dream (thing that is pretty uncommon in this type of shows where generally the MC gets pulled by the heroines whil…

I was bored, so I decided to watch this anime. This anime is actually famous for it's Cabbage Scene, the meme where the cabbage wasn't detailed enough and everyone got angry over it. So, I thought I would give this one a watch. It has a pretty solid concept, but its execution was rather poor. This is a romantic comedy that leans more towards the romance side, the first 7 episodes are basically a slice of life anime, in terms of comedy, it wasn't very funny. A lot of overreactions, especially by the female characters, an example is that there is an older brother character who says insensitive things, his sister constantly beats him with a paddle and breaks things, and the brother is the one who gets the blame! His Dad constantly docks his pay, so he is essentially using child labor and shou…

(MINOR SPOILERS, READ WITH CAUTION)
This anime falls under mediocre to me, but not for the reasons you might think. Where should I begin. Well, for starters I will pull out all the smaller thoughts I have about this anime right now, starting with the negatives. But before I do that even, I feel I have been having a bad habit of getting straight to my opinion without going over the synopsis of the anime from my perception, which is what a review should do.
Yoake Mae yori Ruriiro...too lazy to type the whole title, you got here already so you know what it's called. This anime covers what life would be like if Earth actually did make it to the moon and successfully cultivated it. The end result was that a good amount of people went over to the Moon to make sure control remained. And all see…

A nice romance anime about a commoner on the earth who falls for a princess on the moon. it has a nice comedy slice of life feel to it with a touch of action and scifi. The male Mc isn't wishy washy and has his crap together which is always nice. the anime can be a tad silly sometimes and Asagiri's Dad is totally a parody of Indiana Jones. the princeses's mentor is like a perverted Roshi but is a step up cuz he is a ninja and peeping tom expert. Lol. These wacky funny side characters and over the top silliness(like blowing up a room with a bug in it) keeps the anime from being too serious and it makes you laugh.

If you absolutely love romantic comedies then watch this. It is a very fun watch, you will laugh a lot and maybe cry. I highly recommend it.
Story (8/ 10) -
Although I did find the story lacking in explanations to things like "What caused the earth and moon kingdoms to have a war?", I wasn't really bothered too much by it because I felt it did not take away from the relationship of the two protagonists (Feena and Tatsuya). That is the main focus of this anime, and I found it did a marvelous job in that regard. Other things like the fact that some events that occur seem way too convenient and flow too well with the story kinda had me questioning it but in the end it is just about Tatsuya and Feena.
Art (9 / 10) -
All of the characters are drawn very well, especially Feena (she looks…

Well, it's certainly enjoyable, I'll say that. However, it feels a bit off for some parts - the overall experience is good, but a couple of things hold it back.
The artwork is, for the most part, fairly good. There are however a few scenes that feel very rushed, with only the minimum required animation to discern what is actually happening. The comedic scenes with chibi characters are funny sometimes, but it can also add to that slightly "cheap" feeling.
The characters themselves are fairly standard for a romantic anime, one that was based off of a visual novel - you have the graceful-yet-somewhat-naive Princess, the spunky childhood friend, the comic-relief male supporting character, there's a good few characters that could be given a different face and name and suddenly they're part of…

I have been trying to find a good light anime to watch and this is it.
It has some comedy and a good amount of romance.
Unlike all the other romance, the main character is not a retard but actually acts/becomes a man as the series goes to an end.
The first few eps just shows what happens and everything is pretty light until the last 4 eps where things turn serious and Tatsuya develops into a man.
There isn't really a story in the anime but just eps of tatsuya and Feena growing closer together.
The art is pretty good and for a good 12 ep series, this was really enjoyable.
A bit about the anime
The main character met the princess at an early age but he doesn't know it was the Princess. The princess goes to the Earth for a "homestay" (which is where the princess lives in a house at Ear…

The anime starts off as the usual slice of life whereby Feena the princess develops her relationship with Tatsuya with school life. So basically that's it. After that, here comes the main villian, Jurgen, who plans to destroy the world by using the weapons that the royalty use. Feena is a nice person even though she is princess-like.
The art is all right. The sound is ok. Nothing spectacular.
There are 2 favorite characters:
#1 : Karen Clavius
She was brave, smart, and a brilliant tactician who saved the day by defeating Jurgen who framed her for her defiance of authority.
#2: Wreathlit Noel:
A mysterious girl who possesses a calm and collected spirit. She was not all right with the relationship between Feena & Tatsuya. But slowly she realise deep inside them that they have feelings…

'Brighter Than the Dawning Blue' is an anime that I was genuinely ready to give a full score to. It has a story that draws you in, the characters have just enough depth and the pacing is absolutely outstanding. That was the case for nearly the entirety of this anime. Then, the ending happened. The ending has completely ruined everything this anime was trying to convey up until episode 12 and I will discuss that later (I promise I won't spoil it for you.)
First the story. In this series humans are divided into two blocks, Earth and the Moon. Both sides are trigger-itchy and the tensions are so high you could cut the air (or in this case the vacuum) with a knife. It is in this world of desperation that we find the two main protagonists - Feena, the princess of the moon and Tatsuya, a mere e…

I was recommended this by a friend and because I'm a fan of old style (though it was made in 2006, it has a 90s anime feel), I thought I'd give it a go. Five episodes in, and I couldn't take any more. Completely predictable and uncreative, it's a simple generic shojou anime. The concept of the story sounded interesting, but there isn't enough drama to make it sustain anything. It's supposed to be dramatic, but as far as an innovative and fun anime, this is not.
If I was seven, I think I would be mindless enough to not be bothered with characters or plot, but if Sailor Moon or Cardcaptors Sakura can even attempt to engage you into a whirlwind storyline with 3D characters, there isn't any excuse for Yoake Mae.

From finding the anime by accident from a picture I had saved on my hard drive for several years to owning the DVD, I've enjoyed the series very much.
Story: It's original, two kids like each other when they were little to finding one another later in life to find one the girl is a princess. I don't want to get to far into the story but it's original.
Art: I got the DVD that had the 'not so good' art on it. For example: A lettuce head appears to be a green ball than a head of lettuce. (Lefty bits are missing.) I assume if you get the expensive DVD (Like 2 episodes for like $50.) Everything else from Characters to Scenery, the artworks was fantastic!
Sound: I could hear every person without having to turn up the sound. Music came in crystal clear. I would like a copy of they OST if they…

I've Seen Many Romance Anime's in Life, but I'm sure by far that this one shows the most promise. I truly enjoyed each and every episode. It had it's fair share of sad moments, happy moments and even funny moments. Some out there may disagree with me, but I stand tall when saying this is the most romantic anime I have seen yet and maybe it will be the most romantic anime I ever see. So take some time and watch this Anime if your looking for a few laughs a tiny bit of action and a very Romantic story with a happy ending then watch Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na.

First and foremost I want to let you know that this is my first review.
Story: 8
The story of "Yokae Mae Yori Iro Na" (or YMYIN as I will refer to it from here) does not really come in until the later part of the series. At first it seems cliched - A princess from another nation/ world spending time with someone from another nation/world. But later on it focuses on the drama and intrigue that should have been there since the beginning. There is some drama but it is the type you can actually take in, not like CLANNAD or its second season. It is a very lighthearted romance comedy.
Art: 9
The art was good but not really that great. It got the job done without looking atrocious.
Sound: 10
The sound is amazing in this series. I really liked how the directors didn't use a j-pop song or artis…

Unless I'm being totally dense: this is NOT a harem in any way, shape, or form. If you happened upon this series because you saw "harem" in the genre description and are expecting a harem anime, stop right here and don't watch it. Personally, I would categorize it as more of a romantic, drama, and sci-fi anime.
If you're still reading and do not care that it isn't harem, you'll be in for a pleasant journey.
Story: 9
Probably the most redeeming quality of this anime; thought-provoking, mystical, and just pretty darn good. You can read more about the story in the details section if you're interested.
Art: 7
Overall, it was "meh," but during the scenes when it was necessary to have a good close up or panning shot, the artists really stepped up their game.
Sound: 7
Good voice acting, tr…

Ok, here i'll make my 3rd review of anime...
I realize that i always gave a good score for anime (what should i do...cause i think it's really good T-T)
Anyway....here's the review of Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na
This anime take place in the time when human already advanced and there're some that live in moon. So basically this two place of live make human divided themselves into 2 section... The earthling and the moon people. Someday, way broke up between this two section causing many disastrous attempt and result. And this war ended with no side became the winner, thus some diplomatic relation is born. Of course this event crafted some pain in the heart of the human whether it at moon or earth.
A story started by a young man named Tatsuya who aim to go to the moon.
So that he studied cle…

I'll warn in advance, its hard to make a decent review without spoiling something so if you fear i might spoil the anime don't read this. :)
Its hard to compare this anime to others i've seen because this story more so reminds me of a fairytale that doesnt involve adventure or fantasy. Probably the closest to it would be Petite Princess Yucie (Puri Puchi Yucie). Its only similarity being a palace where a commoner falls in love with the prince (only in this story the princess and commoner both fall for each other at the same time). Yoake is a nice story where a princess of the moon falls in love with a normal student of an academy, from Earth. Its a nice and happy story based about love and how rivals (two different planets) can come together as one.
There is a lot of humor in this anime…

Finally, a romantic comedy done right. Even though I'm a guy, I have seen many romantic animes and this is probably one of the best. This is one of those feel good stories that leaves you with a smile upon your face. There is nothing new here or out of the ordinary but the ending is highly satisfying. So many animes start out strong but in the end they fizzle out. Luckily, this isn't one of them. The comedy is light without going over the top and the music is rather gentle, no pop stuff here. Give it a try, you'll love it. (You can also cry if you want to.)
