'Shin Kimagure Orange Road: Summer's Beginning' is the second Kimagure Orange Road movie, which was shown in the mid90s. It's 90s æsthetic rather than 80s. It shows the characters when they were older, so there's changes in the character design. There were flashbacks as well as pictures that were similar to the original anime we love but with some small differences. It requires getting used to but it's not that bad.
Note also that Izumi Matsumoto's vision of Kimagure Orange Range [the mangaka of KOR] differs from that of the director and the screenwriter. That's why the manga ending is said to be different to the anime ending. Also, Matsumoto did not approve of the writing of the first movie.
This second movie, on the other hand, is not written by Matsumoto. Its source material is the S…

Short review without spoil
Orange road was one of my fav show when I was young.
I gave a super nice 9 only because it's the fan service episode I wanted !
I watched orange road when I was 15y and this final at 46y so of course it bring me back so many memory from this time and it was a key age ; first love etc etc ot gave me this weird feeling of time fly and identification with main character 30 years later still working.
This OAV gave me a super strong life emotion and I don't think it will happen again with an other anime., o
Only because of that I had to give 10 ( the note I gave to anime who had big impact on me when I was young and one or two recent anime )
I'm conscient this is an average oav movie for none old time fan
It's really amazing they made a final so many years after…

This second movie continues where the last left off and is based on the first book of a three part novel series written by Kenji Tereda who was the main scenario writer for the TV series (he also wrote the scenarios for JRPGs Final Fantasy I - III too apparently). So again, this isn't based off Izumi Matsumoto's original work.
It continues to show how he envisioned the characters from the original Manga, now nineteen, would have moved on with their lives through university. If you watched the first movie, you might feel better for the characters after watching this. Maybe it was Tereda's way of trying to redeem himself after the poor reception of the first movie. I guess you could also consider this movie fan service for those who wanted a more complete closure to the relationships.

This movie ties up the loose ends left by the previous one. Unfortunately, there's no Ushiko-Umao reference in this one. The story's pretty interesting since it's got time travel and inevitable time paradoxes, though. We get a little info on the lives of the main characters after the events of the first movie, then we also learn about how things are for them three years later. I think this stuff would be particularly appreciated by fans of the series since it gives you that sense of closure.
One character from the OVAs appears in the movie, so you may want to watch the OVAs first to learn who the hell the guy is. I thought he seemed out of character, though; he was hitting on Madoka as if he never came to his big realization.
The plot feels kinda aimless once Kyosuke gets sent to the fut…

I re-watched Shin Kimagure Orange Road just a while ago. This is my second time watching it.
Have to admit that the experience wasn't as good as the first time. Shin KOR gives you a semi-old feel, so as a person exposed to post-AD2000 animations, it doesn't really give you a full retro feel or a new feel. Once you get used to HD quality anime, you'll need to take some time to get accustomed to Shin KOR artwork. Nevertheless, I kinda liked the artwork. It has lost a bit of the original appeal, but the change in artwork makes it easier for later generations to appreciate Orange Road.
Before I start, just a warning that I may reveal some spoilers subtlely, but I try not to (as for all my other reviews soon to come).
My ratings (y'know like 9 for story, 7 for art, etc) are kinda biased for…
