Midori day's is a Kafkaesque surreal masterpiece. I give this show a 10/10. It follows the same plot as Kafka's metamorphosis, except with a beautiful romantic twist. Don't listen to ANY OF THE HATERS. They don't know true love. Seiji and Midori show the truest of loves. If you disagree you are brainwashed and have to seek immediate counseling and therapy. The show is a perfect mix between comedy and romance. The show has aged like fine wine. So what if the premise is a little weird, girl on guys arm but if you think about a lot of things that we think are epic and cool are weird when you think about them. I bet the idea of going to a grocery store to buy all your food would sound crazy and deranged from a caveman view point. The caveman don't know no better. The haters of this show don't…

Gives new meaning to the term "hand job."
The art work here is no better than meh, and drops to yuck as the series progresses. The animation is never much good, but it gets horrendous in some of the middle episodes. About as cheaply done as they could get away with.
The character designs are laughable, and not because they are meant to be comedic. Midori at least starts out amusing, but the writers pound her into the ground in a hurry. The MC comes off as a total putz. I kept hoping the local delinquents would catch him and kick his ass for good.
Is there a story here? If so, it's so poorly written as to be undetectable. The writers keep hitting on their gimmick so often, this goes from boring to annoying to downright offensive before the torture ends.
The VA for Midori did a pretty…

i watched midori days because it showed up in one of the MAL "best romance anime" lists and the author drew a comparison to kiseijuu, which was pretty competently made if incredibly fucking boring. so since this show is short and has some nudity in it i decided to try it out.
story - 2. it's a sex comedy with weird supernatural elements. nothing in midori days really seems to symbolize anything. midori just doesn't really like being at home and she wants to spend time with seiji instead. my guess is that this premise is the author's weird kink.
in one early scene, seiji goes to visit midori's (real) unconscious body. he tries to reunite the two of them by shoving hand midori's face into real midori's breast (for some reason she's completely nude in bed????), then midori's mother comes in…

When I first heard about Mindoi No Hibi my friend Alex was over and when he told me about it, we decided to watch it since we are both hopeless weebs and well heres my review. I have mix emotions about Midori No Hibi at first I was drawn in by the prepostorous plot and a hilariously fat cat! Due to this animes lack of progression however ive come to realize that you could of watched the first 2 episodes and than watch the last and not really be all that confused about whats happening. If I were to say I iked it it would be because it was fun and made me laugh on occasion. If I were to say I disliked it, I would say because of all animes I've ever seen, no anime has ever made me this angry. Whenever something was going to happen that would move the anime forward Midori would put a stop to i…

I couldn't resist picking up this book, let alone watching the anime afterwards. I mean, it's not everyday you discover a book about a miniature girl taking over a guy's right hand.
This is one of those types of anime's where you can't help but giggle at all the strange situations he has to face due to his physically attached partner, Midori. The more he tries to keep his predicament, the more situations are thrown his way threating to have him and little Midori exposed. Even some guys might find this anime quite fascinating if they just give it a shot. My brother isn't one for chick flicks or girly stuff, but he actually loved this anime and the book.
The art and animations were really enjoyable in my opinion. The facial expressions were hilarious, adorable, and everything inbetween, j…

Midori no Hibi (Midori Days) is a... interesting anime. I find that the show is often bashed for it's odd concept and ecchi elements. But I think that this show is very enjoyable, with great characters, and a original, and interesting concept.
The story of Midori Days is, as I said before. Very odd. The idea of a guy with a cute girl on his right hand, who just happens to have a crush on him by the way, very bizzare and strange. But I believe that the show is, despite being and ecchi, very sweet and cute. And it's just a ton of fun watching the two main characters relationship get better as the show goes on.
The two main characters in the show are the best part about the show. Midori while on Seiji's hand is almost always full of energy and very cheerful. Though, when in her human body…

After reading the shocking synopsis of Midori no Hibi you would expect a predictable and dirty comedy. However, it avoids making easy jokes and it focuses in making very funny situations in every chapter which are going to make you laugh a lot and have a great time. It is true that it contains some ecchi scenes, some of them unnecessary, but these don’t make the series lose its charm and innocence.
One good point of Midori Days is its brevity. Although when you finish it you want more, more than 20 chapters would have made it fall in the easy way. Furthermore, there isn’t any psychological evolution from the characters, and in a long tv series, probably, some users would have lost their interest in the show (although Midori is adorable and I couldn’t get tired of her).
In my case, the fa…

MIDORI DAYS, at the beginning was a shōnen fantasy manga by Kazurou Inoue and run for two years (Sep. 2002-Nov. 2004) and was released in the States by Viz Media. The title in Japanese, Midori no Hibi (美鳥の日々), is translated as “Green Days” since —midori 緑 is a homophone for the Japanese word for “green’, which you’ll get due to Midori’s hair. It’s green, get it?
The anime adaptation consists of 13 episodes (April 2004-June 2004) but strangely it ended before the manga series did.
The plot starts out with Seiji “Mad Dog” Sawamura, who is the toughest student in high school but he does not have the best reputation with everyone, even though, he fights for the weaker students against bullies and yet, every girl feared him and he does make him a bit sad and lonely that he suffers from a gif…

I just want to say that this is a beautiful series. The love that Midori has for Seiji is amazing. She truly loves him with all her heart. My only 2 problems with the series is that 1) He never said "I love you" to Midori or even showed any signs of falling in love with her. Yeah technically he got depressed towards the end and showed some signs of questioning why he could easily say I love you to other girls but not Midori but still I wanted to see breaks where he would stop and look at her and say "Wow. She really loves me. She's really cute. I could really fall for her if she wasn't my right hand".
Also 2) I didn't like how when Midori returned to her body Seiji acted as if her love for him dissapeared. She has loved him for years before she became his right hand. Just go visit her and…

Midori Days is fantastic! It takes a really ludacris situation, and turns it into a sweet, heartfelt and funny high school slice of life anime.
This show is about a guy who cant get a girlfriend to save his life. He's been turned down by pretty much everybody at his school, and comes to the realization that he might die alone with only his right hand. Until one day he awakes to find a girl HAS become his right hand! This is another anime that caught me off guard with its really great opening and closing songs. Especiaully the ending song.
I've said before in past reviews that Slice of Life is my favorite anime genre, and it still is. Because of really great anime like this, just a good story that follows the lives of characters living crazy lives. Aren't we all a little like that?

My friend recommended this to me years back, telling me it's about a guy who's hand turns into a girl. To me, this idea sounds like an excuse for an anime packed full of fanservice and vulgar jokes, many of them probably involving the main character forgetting about his hand being a girl and using it for activities such as, er... well, I'll leave that to your imagination.
...and this is why I've never really felt a great urgency to try "Midori no Hibi".
But now that I have finally gotten around to watching this, I have to admit it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Yes it did contain some of the distastefulness that I was expecting, but the dirty jokes didn't get out of hand (*rim shot*) and go as far as I'd feared. Instead, "Midori no Hibi" turned out to be something that's…

Now you’d think, at least I certainly thought, that the show would go straight to the gutter with this idea. Incredibly, it retains this really appealing sweetness and innocence throughout, not forced or sugary, just…Disney-like, I guess. I mean good Disney, not all that crap that came out after the late 90s. That’s not to say it’s a clean show, ooooh no, the humor is delightfully pervy, but it avoids far more dirty jokes than it pursues despite the various body humor jokes and endless barrages of giggle-worthy nudity.
After a while, anime humor tends to run together, but Midori Days’ brand of twisted giggles feels strangely novel, and I think a lot of it is the frequent interludes of character’s fantasies and head-movies. Yes, head-movies, complete with credits. The story is regularly c…

[warning, early poss spoils]
So you wake up one morning to find your crankin' hand has turned into some chick who's always dug you? Straight, lets roll with this XD I wont go further into the basic story because a: there's a dozen reviews already here and b: you can look the hell up in the story synopsis for that if you still need it crowbarred in.
The show has one of the more outlandish premises i've seen in a show that isn't centered around pure chaos(a`la Abenobashi). sure the original set up is straight out of left field but the show itself is well written, has very likable characters and can easily put a smile on the face of the most angsty of the broody-brood set. The show has a fairly long list of good points and only a few, that i could find, of bad points.
for the good, lets s…

How would you ever feel if you went to sleep one day, tired of not having a girlfriend, and the next morning you woke up to find out that a girl who likes you had taken the place of your right hand? Or if you liked a guy but were too shy to tell him, and then you woke up to see that you were the dude's right hand? It's an impossible situation, you would say, but that's what's so great about anime: Anything can happen! A high schooler whose reputation as a delinquent scares away any girl he tries to hit on, Seji Sawamura, and a timid girl who's had a crush on him for a long time, Kasugano Midori, are thrown into this very situation. Do we sense romance coming up? Definitely! Comedy? Has to be! Action? Uh, maybe... Ecchi? What!?
No, I am not kidding, the show has all that, with the main foc…

I had high hopes for this anime, but they were dashed after only two episodes. The plot just ... is frankly very pathetic. The characters and artwork (big eyes creep me out) are pretty lame and overall you might get a few chuckles. But other than that the series doesn't hold much enjoyment.

This story entails a high school boy named Sawamura Seiji. He is feared by most because of rumors spread about his delinquent ways, and his "Devils Right Hand". This is nothing but the truth as he fights for just causes and is very caring. He has numerous failed attempts at love.
The story was very gripping, its very easy to fall in love with this anime, and with Sawamura as he is falling in love. It is heart wrenching at the end. The artwork and sound were very well woven together although with it being a earlier release, the graphics aren't at the quality they are now.
The character and enjoyment are what make this anime a 9 in my books, with plenty of laughter and a compelling character plot, you will not have any situations of boredom.

Title: Midori no Hibi
Manga or Japanese Anime: Midori no Hibi is 13 episodes long, and ran on Japanese TV fron April 3rd, 2004 to June 26th, 2004. Its manga run is done as well, having run from January 18th, 2003 to October 18th, 2004 in Shogakukan's magazine Shonen Sunday.

Midori no Hibi is about a shy girl named Midori who has secretly been in love with Seiji for a long time. One day she gets sick and falls into a deep sleep, only to wake up as Seiji's right hand...literally. And as you can imagine, the hilarity ensues.
Only a couple episodes are dull. Other than that, the enjoyment of each episode is pretty consistent. The same can be said about the comedy: Midori no Hibi always remains in a comedic, light-hearted mood; only getting serious when it is needed to progress the story, not as an excuse to take a break, like some other animes do.
So have fun, and enjoy watching this anime. You'll laugh in every episode, except maybe the last one... I didn't get to see the ending credits because I was crying through the whole thing.

I read the synopsis for this anime, and I just had to watch it. I mean, a girl becoming a boy\'s right hand? Impossible!
Oh it\'s possible. In Midori No Hibi, Sawamura seiji is a well known delinquent with a \"devil\'s right hand\", he\'s known to be in alot of fights with bad people. He\'s dying for a girlfriend, but he gets rejected by every girl that he approaches.. and he just came to the conclusion that his right hand will be his one and only companion. (That sounds wrong..) Until.. he wakes up one day to find out that a girl named Midori is his right hand, and has had a crush on him since forever!
I really liked this anime, it was too sweet. I got so caught up in it.. I finished it today.. and I only started it yesterday. Anime\'s that I finish quickly like that have my full concen…

Delinquent gets a cute little girl for a right hand? Who knew this plot line would actually work?
This anime is definitely the embodiment of the words “romantic” and “comedy”, i.e. Romantic Comedy in case you didn’t catch my drift. It’s about the relationship of reformed delinquent (Seiji) and the girl who took the place of his right hand (Midori). They go through daily life learning about each other, at the same time trying to avoid circumstances that will reveal their secret.
The anime went beyond my expectations. It was funnier than I thought – the number of gags in the first episode was enough to make me stick around and look forward to see the rest. It’s also ecchi-er than I thought. I think out of 13 episodes, there were about 7-8 (p…
