This anime has made me angry is so many ways. Its like the most depressing thing ever, and there is absolutely no sympathy towards the main character. There was not a single instance where the main character didn’t feel like a complete dick. Just because you want or miss something, doesn’t mean that you need it. I can’t help but feel bad for a certain character. The ending and decisions made throughout the show are so disappointing and inhuman to be honest. The story is poopoo, and the characters are all whiny babies. Boo hoo that things didn’t go the way they seemed like they should’ve. Everything about this anime just reeks. Even my internet didn’t want me to watch it.
Horrible decisions masked by depressing outcomes makes this anime close to unbearable.
2/10

Please read through this before u skip on this story just for its not so positive reviews and rating.
(I am not an active social media person and this might actually be my one and only public comment/review ever. so please bear thru with this. Also please try to feel through the review rather than going by a word by word meaning because thats what this show is also about)
FEEL. The best word to decribe this show. It makes you feel so many emotions during its showtime and keeps you glued to watch the next scene. I am going to say this here and now, you might or might not(probably the later) like this show, but it will definetily be a worthy watch, atleast it was for me.
The characters aint perfect, they lie to both themselves and others, they cheat and they dont act as MC, Villain or Sid…

Kimi no Iru Machi has a pretty cliché plot, the one that had been used many times before, and still, this anime manages to make it look even worse. The MAL information is missing two very important things the genre Ecchi and the theme Harem, so just to warn you it is full of that.
There is only one thing that I personally, in a completely subjective way, is Asuka, She was cute and nothing else. Now talking about the dislikes there are in abundance starting with the plot. It was a pretty basic guy running after a girl that he loved in childhood, nothing new there. The progression of the plot was slow and the characters were shallow. The story had many turns from a love story to a harem and then going ntr at some points not only that but it manages to add a time jump too. The things that I…

Trust me this is going to be the best anime you WILL ever watch. Ignore the other review they are just bots. After watching this anime my eyes have opened, there was not one episode that I was disappointed with. I'm pretty sure this anime will be considered one of the best of the decade, no best of the entire history of anime. Trust me, with this anime you will be able to find your true goals in life. I want to and I will become exactly like the protagonist in this amazing anime. You will love this, you must love this.

Highly underrated and misunderstood Anime. 9/10 in my personal opinion. Recommended for people that don't want a typical cliche humor romance, but something more realistic with a deeper meaning.
This will be an analytical interpretation of the story and thoughts passing through each character. I suffered from a lot of trauma (PTSD) in my life and have a very deep psychological understanding of sorrow, hope, despair, grief, depression and various other complex emotions and most importantly: LOVE.
SPOILERS INCLUDED.
The most highlighted emotion in this anime is that of true love. I am not talking about a simple crush like you have on someone you find attractive. This is the kind of love that you'll only experience once in your life if you are lucky enough (I for one was lucky enough). You…

Has it ever happened to you? Sitting down to write something but you can't really seem to organize your thoughts? I have no clue whatsoever as to how to approach this one.. This anime to me is as strange as the vast universe we live in and i certainly don't mean that in a good way, as you may have gathered by my rating.
At first i thought there was something wrong with my neuron system, maybe my brain's wiring wasn't allowing me to enjoy this piece of art in a way that would.....Touch my soul or me strings or some other slang romance enthusiasts like to use every other sentence. So i went to the hospital and had a doctor check me...The results were terrifying...I was in the terminal stages of bullshit intolerance and i've been told that this is an incurable disease but it won't affect my…

NOTE: If there’s source material I am unfamiliar with it and cannot be bothered to check.When I read the synopsis, I was expecting something with a little more mystery or dynamic. What I got was my third most loathed thing in anime, inexplicable poor decision making. So I’m into the idea of a guy and a girl falling in love and she vanishes on him as swiftly as she came into his life, and him following her to Tokyo. But…
Long story short my issue with this series is it doesn't explore the psychology of the characters. Why are they making these decisions that sane people wouldn't? Not once is a satisfactory answer given for their behavior. “Well the power of love conquers all.” Actually it's depicted here as selfish and mean. I could forgive that if they explained why.

Disclaimer: I am not reviewing the manga, nor will I be basing this review on the accuracy of this story when compared to the source material, I am simply writing a review for the anime.
Now obviously, the very nature of reviews are anecdotal, but I hope that you will bypass all the other reviews that rate this show low, because to be frank people are f**king idiots and incredibly biased, don't listen to them, listen to me, the smart one. Okay, now that we have that out of the way, lets begin the review.
Reasons You Should Watch This Show: The realism of the relationships and situations portrayed in this series consisting of only 12 episodes and 4 OVA's are relatable and thought provoking. If you're anything like me you try to find as much meaning in a story as possible, and in my opin…

Spoilers at the end. I'll make this short and straight to the point. I despise this anime. I only like two characters in it and one of them was supporting. The ending was beyond the realm of dreadful. They should just rename this to "School Days 2." Yes, the ending was that bad. The MC is about as interesting and as smart as the many craps I took while watching this. Oh, also, about 3 episodes are SOLELY flashbacks. I found myself skipping over them too, because they held no relevance to the plot. While they gave an idea as to the relationship between the MC and his female dog of a crush, they also served no purpose and could easily have been cut out without confusing the watcher. It has good art, but that's all. It's a waste of time to even fully review this garbage. Save yourself a few h…

This is a review for Kimi no Iru Machi, the TV series that ran in 2013. Before that, 2 episodes called Tasogare Kousaten (Twilight Intersection) were released. Two OVA came after this in 2014. If you want to watch all of them, I suggest starting with Tasogare Kousaten, then this, then the 2 OVAs. Tasogare Kousanten comes a bit before this in the story, and the 2 OVAs adapt chapters that were released later on.
Before I start, I would like to mention that this is another review of Kimi no Iru Machi from a manga reader. Actually, I wonder if anyone DIDN'T read the manga before the anime. It feels like a lot of people read the manga, heard about the anime and told their friends not to watch it afterwards.
It is by far my lowest rated anime on MAL, and there is a reason for that. This anime…

Ive watched this anime far back when it aired but today I decided to unleash my thoughts in this review here firstly the anime was a pile of trash and I am going to explain why:
The way they portrayed everything was so negative and sappy that I didnt know wether to cry or laugh, it was like watching those soap operas on TV .. It felt so rushed and half assed.. In one moment you have Haruto giving up and going home with his ass between his legs and then he has this sudden realization and starts running towards , guess who, EBA to spout some random shit from her house door, only to see in the window a peeking Eba with a regretfull face.. This repeated imense times troughout the anime and the Manga too.
But I guess its just Seo Kouji godly writing making the highlights again.. In case you d…

Kimi No Iru Machi
When i first time watched the first episode, i felt like i'm going to watch a real romance anime, but then everything started to go a little wrong for me. Actually the beggining is making you to continue watching as long as you'll recognize every single character.
Story.
This anime has one of the most wonderful love stories ever. It shows how strong can be loving personality. And shows that love is stronger than any type of friendship. When friend challenges ill friend for his former girlfriend, that's really unbelievable. Actually if it was me, i would let him to die thinking that he has won. The end of the storyline was wonderful, but i was hoping they would show Asuka in the end with someone handsome and made for her.
Art.
Can't say anything good or bad about art, i…

This anime was an interesting one to say the least. It had many flaws but also many pros that made it an enjoyable one to watch.
Story:
The story of this anime was good, but in my opinion, it lacked clarity. Often throughout the anime, you find yourself confused or puzzled in regards to what is actually happening. Constantly, there are flashbacks that generally complicated the story and ultimately made it hard to follow. In my opinion, i did not hate the story. Instead, i quite enjoyed it despite the countless flaws that were present.
Art:
Many can criticize the animation by saying that the characters and setting were poorly drawn. However, i could argue otherwise because i honestly believe that the animation in this anime was not bad. Although, there were many parts that were terribly…

Kimi no Iru Machi takes a look at the complex nature of relationships, and human desire by focusing on a childhood romance, and the complications and obstacles that the relationship has to endure. What this anime should be applauded for, is its look at how fragile our desires can be, and the cruelty and selfishness that come as a result of it. Of course, this also means that the characters are often unlikable and frustrating. This isn't an anime where you really like the characters, and if anything at all, it's more of a study on the ups and downs of relationships, and the cruelty of love.
This is to say, this isn't the kind of material that is particularly enjoyable. But that doesn't make it bad by default. Even stories that aren't enjoyable, have legitimate merit as art. Afterall, not a…

Kimi No Iru Machi or A Town Where You Live in English is a 13-episode anime series adapted from a manga. Our main protagonist something year old Haruto Kirishima transfers to Tokyo in pursuit of childhood friend and girlfriend Eba Yuzuki. Eba unexpectedly leaves Haruto’s home town Hiroshima and after a short while broke up with Haruto for unknown reasons, Haruto eventually tracks down Eba and demands an explanation for breaking up.
That’s about as much of the story I can give away without spoiling it. A Town Where You Live was released back in the summer of 2013 and was the last series of the summer line up that I wanted to watch. I only read the story briefly and I just assumed it would be a complicated love triangle, turns out I was right. So let’s go in to some detail.

Kimi Ni Machi Iru is a finely paced romance about Haruto, the protagonist, searching and hoping to reunite with an old flame. The audience is strung along the main characters quest as he tries to reconnect with his long lost love, with many questions, secrets, trials and tribulations along the way. Romance stories, or at least good ones, are always roller coasters to say the least and usually are always told in the same way. However, Kimi Ni Machi Iru finds its way to reuse the old methodology and turn it into a new refreshing tale of love. Watching the main characters journey unfold is definitely worth watching.
Story: 8.3 -
The story isn't innovative by any means, and it usually revolves around the same concept. A good way to compare Kimi Ni Machi Iru is like comparing it to a Korean D…

Kimi no Iru Machi - a twisted love story.
I'll just start off with saying, I haven't read the manga yet, so I'm not going to say anything about the manga. The anime however, was a whole different animal in essence and I personally felt that the animators did a poor job on this then they have with other works I've known them to do.
The Plot ~
Overall the plot depicted by the anime is ok. At first the fast pace of the anime had me entertained, but as I progressed through the story I realized just how down to earth and simple it was. There was a lot of going back and forth between past and present, and sometimes this was pieced together in a way that simply became incomprehensible and incoherent to the manga.
The story itself (as depicted by the anime) seems downright flawed and cruel, b…

Kimi no Iru Machi is an amazing series. Amazingly mediocre.
The show is almost feels like swimming in an ocean of rage and frustration for many reasons. For a romance based series, Kimi no Iru Machi sure likes to play around with the idea but then twists it in all sorts of angles. These angles do not connect well in any way but instead ends up making a shape out of wrong proportions. As a follower of the original manga that began to ran years before the debut of this anime series, I am definitely not satisfied from what I see. It feels like I’m drowning in a sea of despair.
Kimi no Iru Machi (A Town Where You Live) is an animated series based off the manga of the same name written by Seo Kouji. The author is previously known for his other work, Suzuka that also received an anime adaptati…

First of all, let me start this review off with a question: Do you hate indecisive characters who have trouble choosing which person they love much like the characters of “School Days” and “Kimi ga Nozomu Eien?” If the answer is ‘yes,’ then I recommend staying away from Kimi no Iru Machi. If ‘no’ or if you’re unsure, then you can decide for yourself whether you want to watch this or not.
“A Town Where You Live” is a romantic drama that differs from the norm when it comes to adapting manga into anime. Most anime start right from the beginning of the manga and proceed from there. I have not read the manga so I don’t know exactly where it starts relative to the rest of the story, but this anime starts from a later arc and instead uses many flashbacks to fill in the important details that hap…

Okay this is a review for those of you have not read the manga and are walking in blindly, such as myself.
Kimi no Iru Machi (A Town Where You Live) is your basic romantic anime about your main character, Kirishima Haruto, and his love interest Eba Yuzuki. They have been childhood friends for a short period of time and they really bonded when Eba came back during the later years of her high school lift to attend school and various events befall them and get in the way of the love they have for each other, the most major being the distance between where the two live. Eba initially travels out to the countryside where Haruto lives but then has to go back to Tokyo, and this anime takes over from the OVA series where Haruto travels out to Tokyo to chase after Eba.
