I liked the anime Kowarekake no Orgel, because it had a calm setting (but it was a little sad at times), the art was very expressive (especially well done with the eyes).The music was well done though.
I disliked the anime because I felt that there was hardly any plot to it or if there was, it was kind of predictable (to me at least). Also, I didn't think that there was much growth in the characters themselves.
Overall, I would recommend the anime if someone had to watch something short and to the point. Also, the music is enjoyable to listen to and the artwork is stunning.

Hello everyone, this my very first review, as inexperienced as I am, I'll try my best to stay objective and assess the content fairly.
That being said, let's all board the feels train that you will be on while watching Kowarekake no Orgel.
{Story} 9/10
Although very short, it manages to capture your attention albeit its shortness and give you enough information to percieve with no intentions for unnecessary fillers. However it could've been streched into few more episodes and use its potential to the fullest.
{Art} 8/10
For a studio which produced this OVA as their sole work it is an impressive piece of art, although not quite suiting my style, it has some details to it to a certain degree.
{Sound} 7/10
I am no expert to judge the sound quality or style, but overall the music did fit a…

This 'movie' is only 20 or so minutes long, and is only one part. The movie leaves things open for the viewer to figure out as they are watching it. Many of the few characters were bland, in fact there was only one character I really enjoyed, and it was because in the beginning she was too cute to hate. It was a short movie, that I myself wouldn't have mind if it was a 12 episode series. If it was a series I would be more inclined to grow attached to the characters. The emotions the show tried to bring didn't really come to me, so it sadly failed at that. Over all, it wasn't bad, just too short.

The story about a human and an android that helping human is pretty much common in these days. We can say "Sora no Otonoshimo, chobits, Eve no jikan, and many others". They present the same things, its about an android (a robot that looks like a human) that helping their master. But neither those anime really hook me off, until i met Kowarekake no Orgel.
STORY (9/10)
There isnt any strong linear plot on this anime. but basically, Kowarekake no Orgel is focussing on how Keiichiro Kawada spending time with Flower (his android) on the summer days. So what's the fun?
The synopsis may sounds boring, but dont be arrogant. Honestly this anime is great at presenting the story especially the drama within in the story. While many 1 episode anime is rushing the story, but not in Kowareka no Orgel.…

This is definitely amazing considering it only runs for 30 minutes. With an interesting plot, amazingly done animation, cute characters, and nice music, this could’ve been a famous anime.

Kowarekake no Orgel (Half-Broken Music Box) is a heart-warming short animation about a man seeking a purpose for his life and an android seeking a place called home, and their destined meeting on a rainy night is a heaven’s sent that will grant the things which they seek.
The story is presented in a flashback form of story-telling in the perspective of a female-like android named “Flower” as she narrates all the happy things that happens to her during her stay on Keiichiro’s (the male protagonist) house one summer season. Flower has trouble retaining her memory so Keiichiro bought her a notebook which will be later used by her as a diary so that she will no longer worry about losing what’s important to her. Each day of that summer season is a brand new experience for Flower as Keiichiro i…

I give this tiny but powerful anime a 91/100
Most anime OVAs we see nowadays are either full-blown hentai, side stories to other mainstream anime, or just plain dumb ones. They're nothing like the OVAs we had back in the old days (like, oh, I don't know, Legend of the Galactic Heroes!?). But this is a first in this time: a totally original one episode doujin anime OVA featuring a totally original story! I don't know the history of doujin OVAs (or OVAs in general, though I know the first OVA ever was Dallos, made in 1983 though it was a flop), but this one seemed to touch a lot of people. A little OVA called Kowarekake no Orgel (Half-Broken Music Box).
One thing that really surprised me was the animation. This anime was created by a bunch of newbies in a totally independent studio. I have…

The struggle Kowarekake no Orgol had to go through to become an entry on MAL was, in my opinion, nothing short of an epic battle, as such a wonderful anime should fully deserve to be here on the first second of its release - unlike anime-styled Windows commercials. That being said, Kowarekake no Orgol is a story of an unusual summer, when Keiichiro found a person ( of sorts ) who helped him to get out of the misery life put him trough.
Though many compare the storyline to Chobits, I dare say it has little to nothing to do with it aside from an artificial person. Firstly, this is not a love nor ecchi story ( nor is it shitty ). It is romantic in terms of the setting and story progress more than the relationship. Sometimes cliched but pulls it off nicely. Bittersweet ending that might have…

The OVA was pretty sad but since it was so short I wasn’t able to connect with the characters. Everything went too fast but still, give this a watch,this is my first doujin OVA ;)
I suppose Keiichiro called her that because she was holding a sunflower when he found her. Since flower is quite old her memory is tarnished and for her to remember what she does each day, Keiichiro buys her a drawing book so that she can use it as a diary. Her dream is to visit the sea someday. Anyway, some cute pictures of her and him.
Keiichiro, finds an android girl among the trash. His first thoughts were to just leave it as it is but ultimately he gives into his curiosity and takes her with him. Keiichiro takes the android for repair but since it’s an old model, the parts aren’t available any more. Howeve…

Hello this is my first review. Here goes nothing.
Well not to spoil this OVA (yes it is a OVA, even though some viewers don't like to watch OVA of anime because sometimes they aren't good enough) but there isn't much to write about.
[Story: 8/10]
The storyline I thoroughly enjoyed because it was lighthearted and easygoing. Yet I wish there was more and this did have (notice: did have) potential to be a good anime.
[Art: 9/10]
I went into this thinking that the art was going to be bad, because I have seen some OVA where the producers don't even care about this and just threw stuff together. This surprised me it was very good, and even though this is my first time reviewing I've watched many anime already and I always have an opinion. Good job producers on this short work.
[Character:…
