Introduction
Ayumu Tamari suffers from a condition known as "Crystallization Syndrome." In moments of high stress, parts of his body begin to crystallize and become extremely difficult to move. Unfortunately, Ayumu's severe social anxiety makes him completely unable to speak to anyone in his class, and ultimately causes him to crystallize so frequently that he has to repeat a year in high school.
Ayumu's only solace is his homeroom teacher, Kouya Onihara, whom he affectionately refers to as "Oni-chan Sensei." Kouya collects and studies crystals, and he finds Ayumu's crystalline body both beautiful and fascinating. With his stress from school compounded by the complexities of a forbidden student-teacher relationship, Ayumu struggles to find normalcy in his life while managing his emotions and trying to prevent complete crystallization.

Score: a big, fat, juicy, one out of ten.
This anime is extremely slow, like, grandma counting her dimes at the cash levels of slow. I also have a hard time even imagining that more than 1 in every 7 billion people have a crystal fetish, but here we are. I would only recommend this to someone who has already watched Sleeping With Hinako and wants a new terrible OVA to fall asleep to.
The not-so-beautiful bØys in this anime are just that, not beautiful. When you watch a yaoi, you want to see the handsome, succulent bØys in action, but they look like trash. The art is middle schoolers deviant art OC levels of ugly. Why are bØys faces so ugly? Why is everything so blurry? Why is there weird effects everywhere? Nobody knows. The two bØys in this OVA are the typical greasy old man and the shy…

(Contains spoilers for the ending, but not that much. It's probably nothing you wouldn't already be able to guess.)
It was a story that was enjoyable enough for a casual watch.
I don't like student-teacher relations, so this will receive a bit of a lower score because of that, but biases aside, it was nice enough. It was nice seeing a student-teacher relationship in which the adult is willing to be responsible and wait for the student to graduate instead of rushing straight along and inevitably causing the student troubles. It did feel a bit rushed at parts, but the story was still alright for a casual watch.
The art style was charming and unique- it's a style I've never quite seen replicated in anime before, so I was hooked. It's very pretty and pleasing to look at. However, the animat…

This is a great anime.
I think it is very underrated. Although it seems to be a normal teacher-student romance it is very deep. I think that the synopsis sells it short. The art was iffy at times but it was easily made up for in content. Any OVA can have small issues but this had those mostly weeded out. The characters were well developed which is hard to do in an anime this short but it was done wonderfully. Unlike some animes this short the characters did change over the corse and it did not follow normal anime tropes. It was a very original idea. I totally recommend this anime.

LONG REVIEW I'M SORRY
I will have to start by saying that I was not impressed by the latest of Soubi Yamamoto's works. Having been a big fan of her previous animations (Kono Danshi Uchuujin to Tatakaemasu, Kono Danshi Ningyo Hiroimashita and Robotica*Robotics) I was super excited to watch Kono Danshi Sekika ni Nayandemasu.
I found that once the OVA had actually began, it was littered with clichés and thematics that belong to corny BL anime/manga, and often the 'romantic' lines felt rushed and forced. The exchanges between the two main characters, although endearing at times, quickly became irritating due to the corniness to the scriptwriting. However, lines spoken either to other characters, or to the main character (Tamari) to himself were well written and generally enjoyable; sometimes…

I fell in love with the other two OVA's that were related to this series, and was excited to watch this one. The art style was unique like the rest of the OVA's, but this probably was my least favorite of the 3. The story is pretty cute (though a tad bit too cheesy for my liking), and the main characters in this have a lot of deep emotions that people can easily relate to (especially if you deal with being socially anxious). I think this OVA shared some great insight, even if I felt that the story was a bit rushed and at times awkward.

To start off with, let me just say that I am not one for long tedious anime reviews so this will be a short but concise one. So without any further ado let me begin. :D
I have personally fallen in love with all of the previous episodes within this 'Kono Danshi' series so when I heard of this new installment I HAD to watch it and surely enough I was not disappointed. The anime centers around a shy boy who then falls in love with his teacher. Along the way you are gripped with emotions of sadness, empathy and then overall joy.
It is a romantic anime which not only focuses on romance itself, but also on the importance of friendship and the struggles which we sometimes face when making new friends. It also teaches one that although it might sometimes hurt to open up to people, at the end of…
