asagao to kase-san

9/10. I liked this one a lot. The most striking things to me were the loveliness of the animation and art, and the happiness I felt at the dedicated-but-not-slavish faithfulness of the manga.

The happy/melancholy tone came across well. I think I might actually like the OVA better than the source material, which is rare for me. Even knowing what sort of ending was coming, the last few minutes had me on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, etc other idioms anyway the point is it's very good. I'm wondering if there's some kind of yuri Renaissance going on in Japan at the moment, between this OVA and the Yagate Kimi ni Naru anime. Maybe I've been looking in the wrong places, but they are by far the best yuri romance anime I've watched.
