First of all, I have to admit. I'm not the greatest fan of Shojo, or the Reverse Harem genre, or Romance. However, I have enjoyed a few of them on occasion and feel I can look on it with a discerning eye. It's my opinion to look for the positives in shows. That said, there isn't much for Amnesia

First of all, I have to admit. I'm not the greatest fan of Shojo, or the Reverse Harem genre, or Romance. However, I have enjoyed a few of them on occasion and feel I can look on it with a discerning eye. It's my opinion to look for the positives in shows. That said, there isn't much for Amnesia
Amnesia starts just as the plot synopsis states. There is a young woman who wakes up with no memory. She then hears a voice, and meets a spirit that only she can see called Orion. Orion states that they are a the reason that the heroine, has lost their memory. Then, sprinkle in the plot points, and boys and there's your series.
Now, let me explain my rating. Honestly the series did a pretty good job with the overall animation. It looks pretty clean, the backgrounds can look a little stale and not well done, and the character design is pretty much along Romance title lines. This series is a watcher, if Romance is your thing, and I mean your "sit at home and stare at my cell phone so my boy will call" thing. You will like it if all you want is Romance. However, I honestly hated this series, mostly because it's not my thing. On the sliding scale of 1 being Reverse Harem title that sprinkles in a tiny bit of contrived action, and 10 being the Romance is the ONLY plot point. This series is a 10. The only plot points have to deal with when one of the characters kisses the heroine. That's the greatest amount of stress the main character is put through. That's pretty much it.
Of course naturally, She has to find out about her past and overall what caused the Amnesia in the first place. However, that isn't where the story takes you. It more focuses on the relationship between the characters, which I imagine translates well from the PSP game miraculously.
So, if you're looking for a Anime that transcends genres and is enjoyable for all, this isn't your baby. If relationship role play is entirely your thing, you will probably enjoy it. The mystery of the plot isn't enough to keep the casual viewer entertained. I would have given it 1 star, but the animation quality kicked it up one. Now, if I can only get Amnesia for what this series did to me, I'll be good.
