The theme of Peterburd's review is "disappointing", which is contrary to just about every other established animeblogger. Having not seen the anime episode yet, I do not have an opinion about it as such, but I see that the shadow of Tatsuo Sato's reputation overhangs this series in the same …

The connection between To Heart and IM@S anime was evident to me even without the help of Evirus making it, but for a slightly different reason: Shiho.

Suguru wishes for more dorama:
