Overview

While testing out his camera on a bridge one summer night, Kaito sees a blue light streaking across the sky, only to be blown off the railing seconds later. Just before succumbing to unconsciousness, a hand reaches down to grab ahold of his own. He woke up the next morning wondering how he ended up back in his own room with no injuries or any recollection of the night before. As he proceeds with his normal school life, Kaito and his friends discuss what to do with his camera, finally deciding to make a film with it over the summer break. Noticing that Kaito has an interest in the new upperclassmen Ichika Takatsuki, his friend Tetsurou decides to invite her, as well as her friend Remon Yamano, to join them in their project. In what becomes one of the most entertaining and exciting summers of their lives, Kaito and his friends find that their time spent together is not just about creating a film, but something much more meaningful that will force them to confront their true feelings.

From the beginning until the end, it was an awesome anime. Story was heart-warming and the animation was impressive. Every episode made it more and more exciting. Even though I'm not satisfied with the ending as I was looking forward to a [spoiler]happy one[/spoiler], it was beautiful. I'll definitely recommend everyone to watch this. You won't be disappointed.

Decent and occasionally great romantic comedy. They main pair actually managed to get together within like [spoiler]9 episodes[/spoiler], which is almost unheard of in this genre... The small added flavor or [spoiler]Ichika being an alien[/spoiler] is nice and makes it a bit less generic than it could've ended up being otherwise.

From the first episode, this looks pretty good. Although very similar to Onegai teacher (same writer)

Charming, if not predictable. Art style is reminiscent of "Highschool of The Dead" and that's made apparent. The color scheme for most all scenes are impeccable (these guys really know their way around a color wheel), the fashion is summery and fun, and the characters have such dynamic personalities around each other. I loved this series. Flat out. Would recommend.
