Anime Time! Amnesia

Based on a video game this anime takes place as the protagonist wakes up on August 1st with no memory of who she is.  In order to restore her memory, with the help from a fairy, she decides to interact with the people around her to figure out who she is.  The thing is that every time she gets a clue as to who the people around her are, she wakes up again on August 1st with memory of what has happened but everyone around her, although they are the same people, change characters and personality if this isn't shocking enough when she wakes up different people claim to be her boyfriend every time she wakes up?! Will she be able to figure out what's going on? And will she ever figure out who she is?

Well this anime I found randomly through some fan art so I knew absolutely nothing about it before I watched it besides the fact that the characters had playing card symbols on them, and because I love love LOVE playing card symbols when used in anime or manga, I decided to watch.  Sadly though this one didn't do much for me I had problems with the characters, since the main character was kinda meek I expected the other characters to shine out above the rest but this was not like that.  But that was before I knew the anime was based on a video game.   The video game is called an otome game (first time I've heard of that) and its basically the player gets to choses who she ends up with, after learning this I found the problems I had with the characters solve seeing as the video game would be ruined for some if their characters changed or turned out not to be what they imagined them as.  From a selling point of view I can understand that the anime was marketed toward the fans so I can't really criticize it for that.  The drawing style is very nice and the plot itself is okay, this is the kind of thing you could watch when you want the trill of a intricate story line without the intricacy.  For a college student who's brain is being fried by exam week (ME)  it is the perfect anime to watch.  Or for the ladies that want to be swooped off their feet by a animated character this is your anime, for the guys though I'm not sure as to whether the guys I know would watch it but if you like cute things the main character is cute and so is her fairy.  Well then,

Matane!
またね!



To all the students who are on mid-terms right now, truly from the bottom of my heart good luck!
