AMNESIA

Usually I'm pretty good about watching an anime and putting together the plot as it goes, but this one just didn't do it for me. I wasn't able to stay interested until the very end and ended up dropping the show 4-5 episodes in. I will agree with the others who have reviewed and say that the art is very good, but the eyes are distracting. I actually had to go back and rewatch the first episode because I couldn't stop staring at the eyes long enough to read the subtitles.

I may go back at a later date when I don't have anything to do and finish watching the show (if am desperate to watch something I haven't seen before), but as of right now I just can't finish the show.

What drew me into this anime was the amazing art style that I saw. It's just too bad that the story line fails to match up!!
We enter into the anime with what looks like an original and compelling heroine caught on a bad day with a seemingly promising and dramatic build up. Instead of what I expected to happen, where she would become a more strong and self-aware character, I got the Kristen Stewart of anime. Um.... what???
World after world and guy after guy, and maybe a death here and there would seemingly change a person, even if they DID have amnesia right? Well not really. The heroine of our story turns out to be some blank slate of a wide eyed Mary-sue and there's nothing to be done about it.
If you've decided to view this anime like I did, because it looks fresh and compelling please take a step back. It's a dating sim anime to the literal bone. What story there might have been just ends up a confusing "I guess if this guy is paying attention to me I'll go along with it" and "Brains? Who needs em." kind of plot.
I was disappointed in the ending and only watched through it hoping for more of a twist than what was there.

i started watching this just because i thought the art looked really good.
Thats the only thing about this anime that is really good.
And even the art was weird, i felt like i was watching pokemon whenever they showed any of the characters eyes because they looking like god damn pokeballs!!!!!
The characters basically have no personality, and while it is somewhat interesting that she jumps betweens worlds/guys, i liked shin, and hated the rest. Especially the blonde/orange one, he scared the living shit outta me.
Orion (the guardian angel) is literally the fairy from L'cord do roro or whatever the hell is it, but larger. and more annoying in my opinion.
and then we get to the heroine.
whose name is still unknown.
Honestly, she puts together about 5 complete sentences in the whole anime, the rest is just "hm.." or "uh..." I WANTED TO HIT HER
i was expecting some really cool ending, but even the ending was pathetic.
besides the kind of good kind of weird art, the only other good thing in this anime was the ending song. While watching it, i just wanted it to be over so i could listen to it.
its just all over bad and i wish i could un watch it

when watching anime, the art is something that i look for and in this case Amnesia took me by surprise. The art is superb and very much beautiful but the plot line fails to meet up. Although i must say the whole being with a different guy for each world is an exciting aspect but the rest failed to make me really enjoy watching. it felt like i had to always be looking and thinking to understand what was really going on and some of it confused me immensely . i wish they ended the story better because i loved the beginning. i think the title over exceeded itself because i was very much feeling like i had amnesia with the girl as it was confusing. it felt like a board game of chance and data as the girl was like the dice, being thrown around in different worlds. overall i enjoyed most of it and it had something that most anime shows don't. chance.

I was really hoping this was going to be good, because the animation is beautiful, clear, and tight: the eyes are drawn very interestingly, and the outfits are....creative, to say the least. And they had all this cool card-suit imagery that I was like, this is totally gonna tie in to things! But no, they had to give us flat characters and a thin plot, and no explanation for the cool imagery. :'(

Spoilers abound, but the major ones are marked.

Plot was thin because, well, we don't find out the reason for everything until the last two episodes. It gets dumped on you, instead of teased out little by little, which would have been much more effective and artistic. All we know beforehand is that she ends up somehow and dating a different guy each time. Characters were flat because there was no time to develop relationships. And the person she had the most episodes with turned out to be And they didn't even flesh out his character!

What really horrified me was Oh, and the one guy who actually deserved attention? You know, Kent? The slightly nerdy looking one with the glasses who's actually normal? He only gets one episode. It's really not fair. He's the only one who doesn't force himself on her, or abuse her, or otherwise play around with her affections. Kent actually cared about her, and was willing to try to make changes in his life to be a good boyfriend.

I know this thing is based on an otome visual novel (basically, a dating sim where each guy has his own path, and depending on the choices you make you get a happy/sad ending), but since they were making into a show, they should've tied the plot together a little bit more. It seems like they tried...but it didn't work. Having little vignettes with each guy doesn't work when we don't know enough about the guys themselves and on top of that we're trying to solve a bigger mystery. And also, since as a story we expect some kind of closure, I think they should've chosen a guy for her to end up with. Maybe I'm only saying that because I want it, but not choosing a guy for her and giving me a deus-ex-machina ending in a show that has one dimensional characters really made me want something besides the art to enjoy!

And don't get me started on the heroine. I am in pretty much full agreement with the complaints of her having no personality. That works for a reader-insert visual novel, but not an anime. If I could give this a zero star rating, I would. Not even the art saves it.
