To Heart Journey

As my ever going quest to finish off a certain someones "lists" from Anime-Planet it has once again brought me to dreaded anime that I know are going to be terrible. Yes I went into starting To Heart thinking it was going to be bad and boring. I hate it when I'm right. Simply knowing an anime comes from a Visual Novel I am always very weary of it's quality. Especially of the Eroge type.

To Heart follows the oh so boring school adventures of Hiroyuki Fujita. His dry and lame personality make fans of this type of anime (school romance) cringe. Why can't he ever be happy with the situation he is in?? MILLIONS of other men would love to be in his shoes but he simply just doesn't care and wanders around in this anime world oblivious to everything. Oh I can't forget to mention his token best oblivious friend Masashi Sato is along for the ride as well. A pointless character to I can only assume is there to try and make Hiroyuki look good.

Right here these typical cliche characters are driving me insane. If it's not the eye rolling I do from seeing Hiroyuki oh the screen it's the cringing I do when Masashi is around as well. Painful as it might be I continue onward to meet the oh so many girls of this anime. I'll never understand why there are so many more girls in these kind of anime than boys. I'm pretty sure Hiroyuki Fujita & Masashi Sato are the only real male classmates in the school. There is one other science older male that shows up later on but aside from him the male presents in this show is lacking. I think it would be interesting to have a school full of few females and see all the weird quirks of the males for once. Cause almost ALL of the girls in To Heart are really weird in their own "special" way.

Now for the meaningless girls. Akari Kamigishi is the one that has the awesome life goal of wanting to sit beside Hiroyuki in class and sadly gets her wish so she must now make a new life goal. This of course is to always be with Hiroyuki and all that lovely romance crap. Painful to watch her go through school with one little goal such as this. Shiho Nagaoka is her best friend that is always fighting with the boys. She is your typical tomboy and will eventually start to have feelings that she just isn't sure what to do with for "someone" uhh ohhh love triangle. But don't worry it'll all work out in the end. It always does right?

Now like with every other school romance there are lots, lots more characters running around or well just being in the way. I didn't care for any of the other ones and frankly they aren't really worth mentioning. There's your quiet one, your rich one, the animal lover, sisters, and so on. Although I should mention Multi because somewhere along the lines the anime did take a sudden RANDOM turn to her for the simple need, that I assume the creators had, for an android. Yup that's right she's a robot that looks, acts, and talks like a human...... WTF?

Now I wish I could say well yeah they made a short little story and that's it that's all. To Heart has 2 more seasons along with 3 different ova's.... Help It was hard enough getting through this one to have to dread sitting through more. To Heart: Remember My Memories will be next. Oh and this show gets a 3/10.....
