Review of Today We Start Our Love

This is my first review. Please note, i have not read the manga, so i shall be writing my review based on the anime i have seen. I have never been more frustrated at an anime in such a away- this had so much potential to become something more, yet it lacked that extra bit more. One of its major flaws was rushing into the 'major climax' of the story between the 2 main characters, Tsubaki & Kyouta. With no explanation or plot development, BANG, it's almost like the ending started before the beginning. To be fair there was a short narrative beginning, but it would have beengreat to watch it develop, to see how it got to this point.

There is little if at all any character development, so there's nothing to help explain the character's actions and what led them in doing so, which i think is a shame because it just turns into a typical romance cutesy anime, especially in the seconds OVA

The sound i thought fitted in very well with the anime & i thought the seiyuu performances were very good.The anime wasn't bad but it was really those still-shots that really stood out- beautifully made.

The second OVA doesn't follow the OVA, and so they are best treated as 2 separate OVAs, so it lacks some continuity and flow. I feel like they could have done a whole season's worth instead of trying to cram so much, yet deliver so little into 2 20 minute OVAs.

Ultimately i did like this anime, there was something charming about it that sucked me in. If only there was more substance and development to make more than just some romance.
