A Town Where You Live
君のいる町Haruto Kirishima lived a calm life out in the countryside, away from the fast-paced life of the city. Then Yuzuki Eba appeared in his life out of nowhere, having come from Tokyo to briefly live with her family. Their time together left him enamored with the memories of that short period before she just as abruptly disappeared from his life, and left him full of questions.Kimi no Iru Machi begins some time later, after Haruto moves to Tokyo to live with his sister, in order to pursue a career as a cook. In reality though he wishes to be with Yuzuki. Things don't start good though. When he arrives he is mistaken for a burglar and attacked by his sister's neighbour Mishima Asuka. After the misunderstand is cleared his feelings begin to waver though. Is Eba, who keeps avoiding him for seemingly no reason, the one for him or is it Asuka?

It was rushed, this should be a 24 episode series but they made it 12

It's great! It's good! It's interesting! Or so people would say. I speak from my perspective; it's an anime in which has lots of pro's, but not enough to cover all the cons of the show which drags it down a lot. It really just makes you hate the protagonist (can he even be called that?) and makes you hate the decisions he makes along the way. But with some logic, he tries to put it in our shoes, about how we would've reacted in his shoes. So in the end, if you learned a lesson after watching it, you can say it was pretty decent.

Even if you love the romance genre, you might not like this show if you don't like love stories with main characters who agonizes over seemingly silly dilemmas and heightened drama.
Story: 5 It's the usual couple who are meant to be together but life isn't a bed of roses so their love have to be tested again and again and again and seriously, I stopped caring when I begin to dislike the main couple, especially the girl as her poor decision making in the beginning of the show resulted in a lot of unnescessary suffering that is to plague the rest of the show. The guy makes poor decisions too though I'll argue that it's due to the girl he fell in love with. But if you are the sort that needs the main characters to make up their minds about who they end up with, you will get what you want whether if it's the choice you want them to make. Personally, I don't feel like this show belongs to the genre of slice of life due to the melodramatic romance.
Animation: 6 It gets as realistic as it gets in the shoujo genre, not that I mind that but I felt that the quality is sort of uneven.
Sound: 5 Unmemorable. Unremarkable.
Character: 6 As much as I hate the main characters, I'll be fair and admit that there is some character progression. However, I find it difficult to like the main characters because of the obvious stupid choices they make. With exception of 1 supporting character, the rest of the supporting cast's development is neglected in favor of heightened drama.
Enjoyment: 5 Finished the whole series because I just want to know the final decision of the characters after all the dramatic love agonies.
Overall: 5 / 10
