All the more to satisfy the audience, obviously. However, Makoto's death is rather well-animated considering the rest of the show.
Animation Bump: The anime has rather limited, middle-of-the-road animation. Was Sekai really pregnant? Was she lying about it to try and keep Makoto for herself? Or was she experiencing a psychological or other kind of false pregnancy? What if you suddenly found out you were pregnant? Or that your partner tried to fake being pregnant in order to stop you from breaking up with them?. What if your significant other turned out to be sleeping with others behind your back?. Adjective Noun Fred: ~Magical Heart Kokoro-chan~ OVA. One could view the manga being this for the anime, as in its continuity Makoto has noticeably toned down his Jerkass The Casanova tendencies and seems to genuinely care about Kotonoha and Sekai. The only ones who were saved from this are Sekai and Kotonoha, and then just barely. This is also true for pretty much all of the supporting cast who had all their positive traits completely removed in order to present them as Jerkasses as well. The anime completely erased Makotos internal struggles and good-hearted nature in order to turn him into a complete Jerkass. Compare Kotonoha, Sekai, Kokoro, Roka and Itaru to Makoto, Setsuna, Yuuki, Hikari, Nanami, Taisuke and the rest. Aerith and Bob: The series is known for its unusual names and alternate spellings. No, really.ĭiscotek Media licensed the anime and released it on DVD in 2015 they also announced a Blu-ray release for Spring 2017. There's a manga adaptation for Cross Days as well, which follows Yuuki, the protagonist of the game, and which gets dubious props for somehow making Makoto even more of a jerk than he is in the anime. Almost more disturbing than the anime, in a subtle way.
Makoto, much less of a Jerkass here, manages to resist Sekai for most of the run when he finally gives in to temptation, he feels so bad about it that he is prepared to break up with her. Especially in the latter's case, which turns most of the main females into Sentai and/or Magical Girls with liberal amounts of randomness and School Days-style fanservice and gore.įinally, there's also a manga, which is much more family-friendly than the anime. There are also two OVA episodes, Valentine Days and Magical Heart Kokoro-chan, that exist in Alternate Continuities. Sensitive, idiocy-intolerant, or squeamish viewers, beware!
Wait no, scratch that, not even the worst possible path in the visual novel reaches the level of messed up irrationality that the anime presents. Ultimately, the anime is like watching the worst route possible on the visual novel.
And laughs, depending on how much you hated the main character by the end.
