Kazuma Hoshino is preparing himself for a new stage of his life as a teenager. Because of his brother Ayumu's weaker than average health, their parents thought it best for the family to move out from the city to a more rural environment. Now the two brothers are off to the Yorozuyo Inn where they’ll be staying until their parents can settle affairs back in the city and set up their new home.
Their arrival to the inn doesn't go as planned though when they catch the wrong bus, wind up in the middle of nowhere, Ayumu gets his hat stolen by a wild monkey, and Kazuma gets lost in the woods trying to track the animal down. It all leads to a chance encounter with a spirited young girl named Ui, who Kazuma ends up accidentally falling onto and kissing while she tries leading him back to the bus stop. This hardly sits well with Ui’s friend Ibuki who swiftly kicks Kazuma and sends him on his way. Much to Kazuma's continued horror, his bad luck is perpetuated at the inn thanks to its landlady Senka and her slightly perverted sense of humor, and then finding out that two of his classmates are the girls he embarrassed himself in front of back in the woods!
Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi finds Kazuma adapting to his new school, dealing with the multiple women who have entered his life, providing emotional support for his younger brother, and coping with living with his new landlady. However, for some reason, something about this place is bringing whispers of the past into Kazuma's mind. Small flashes back to a more innocent time and a friendship long forgotten. What could this déjà vu mean?

Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is an anime based off the visual novel of the same name. I haven't played that visual novel, more specifically I don't play visual novels at all, so I cannot comment on the coherence of the adaptation. Instead, I am going to analyze and critique this anime as a standalone work. Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi tells the story of two brothers who are in the process of moving homes. As they're looking for a place to stay, the older brother (Kazuma) gets lost in a forest. He meets a girl, and of course, he ends up "accidentally" kissing her. This is thebeginning of the girl, Ui, and Kazuma's romantic relationship. They also happen to go to the same school; good lord, the coincidences. And that's about it. The entire story is about how Ui and Kazuma will manage to confess their love for each other; exactly why I give the story a "5". Not surprising, though, as this is a visual novel adaptation after all.
This isn't to say that the story is completely smooth as I made it out to be; there are a few edges in this anime's romance, it isn't just a straight line. In the end, you could see where the story was going, and the characters were fairly easy to read. To be honest, Hoshizora could've been something great if it weren't so linear. It has beautiful art, an amazing opening, and a likeable set of characters. It's just a shame that its story is so bland; don't expect too much when you're watching this anime. There is also never any sort of major conflict. Despite that, it is still a refreshing anime that you can unwind and relax while watching. Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is not a bad anime in the slightest, and there are some bright moments within it. Overall, an enjoyable watch that is unfortunately shallow.

"Dont judge anime if you havent watching all the episode" LESSON LEARNED~ Why would i say that? First, like the other reviewer said, the first impression that you will get was "Incestous Homosexual" but praise to the lord and the creator of this anime, the anime wasnt about that. Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi or A Bridge to the Starry Skies (kinda weird name) is like your usual generic harem anime which we have a bunch of cute girls and one boy that being liked by many girls. what means "like your usual generic harem anime"? USUALLY or we can said ALWAYS, harem anime didnt have any romanticending or get laid (based on all harem anime that i have watched). and not just that, USUALLY my perspective about harem anime was :
- Have a little sister that have brother complex
- Being liked by ALL of the girls in anime itself (sometimes they liked without any logical reasons)
- Surrounded by beautiful girls
- The girls usually have their own uniqueness (tsundere, dandere, and kuudere) (if you're looking for yandere, then it wouldnt be a harem anime, it would be a horror anime) LOL
- The MC usually at the end didnt get laid or girlfriends (For all the harem lover will know what i mean)
And why i am saying all that meaningless words? FYI, HoKaHa (since the title is so long) is really crossing my perspective about harem anime. its something unique yet its not so amazing too. Why? for the first i have a problem with the story itself, while watching this anime episode after episode, many question clinging into my mind "What is the actual story/main story?" "Did this anime focus on the LUCKY BASTARD kiss incident or about the MC's little brother sick?" and until the last episode i still dont get what this story about, what i know is the last episode is really surprise me. A LOT.
"Oh so this anime didnt have any main plot, so whats so good about this anime since you rated it 7?"
Calm down, yeah it doesnt have any strong plot or main plot, and just what we know is when we're watching this anime was the MC moving to that village because of the little brother (he is have some MYSTERIOUS disease that until now i dont know what disease that he have) and then he got a kiss incident with a stranger girl. Ok you can imagine that.... i give you a time for imagining it.
Done? lets process to the reason why i think this anime was good, for the first HoKaHa really suprise me in many ways, it crossess all of my expectation about what harem anime was (see all the list that what my perspective about harem anime in beginning of this review). then HoKaHa was surprising and sometimes it have a touchy and some moments that will make us smile or maybe jiggle a bit. i must say it was amusing and really worth of my 300 Minutes or 5 hours (12 episode x 25 minutes).
After we talk about the story, lets talk about the other aspects, Art. I can't say to much about this one, but for sure, the quality of art in this anime was so amazing, On the first episode we can see a beautiful drawing in the forest, amazing scenery and even the water flows was like the real one. Well, its not the best, but atleast it will not make your eyes bored.
Moving on to the sound section, well it was so - so. since i dont find any amazing sound that happen in this anime, from the OP, the ED or in the voice actors it was like any other harem anime, it was not really good and it wasnt really bad either, so we can said "normal". LOL
And for the closing, i must said it was very amusing harem anime, what else do you need?
- Harem,check ; romance, check; comedy, check; dere girls, check; GET LAID; check!
if you're looking for an unusual harem anime, this maybe the right anime for you, cheers!

Even though people haven't given this anime very good reviews, I still liked it a lot. I just had a fun time watching it, and it'll be my Summer Anime to watch along with Air, so don't think that I'm overrating things, because I really loved this anime. Story: 8 Story of boy meets girl, so pretty normal, but the entire anime is full of comedy, romance, you know, normal stuff for harem animes. But I was amazingly satisfied with the ending, so watch it, you'll know what I mean. Art: 10 I loved the art, in fact, this anime had the best artwork I've ever seen in ananime. I love the design of the characters, but their eyes were beautifully drawn, multicolored, which was more realistic, and prettier to look at, and then the scenery was realistic too, the streams and trees looked real.
Sound: 9
I love the cast, because they act out the characters so well, and then there's the music, which I'm a huge fan of, especially "Mighty Girl Power de" and "Horoscope Nomico". Both really good songs.
Character: 10
There are almost always characters in animes that I can't stand, such as Renge from "Ouran HighSchool Host Club", but this anime had no characters that I wanted to beat up. I loved every single character, and I'm a huge fan of Ui and Ibuki. The characters are all fun to watch in action, and I love their personalities.
Enjoyment: 10
Easy 10. I didn't hate any of the episodes at all, and I've rewatched the series numerous times. It never gets old.
Overall: 9
The story could have been the slightest bit better, and that's pretty much the only reason it doesn't get a 10 from me. Don't get me wrong, this anime is in my top 10. I recommend it for almost all people who liked Negima!?, Maburaho, Nagasarete Airantou, etc.

This is a really cute romance show that I will probably want to re-watch again in a year or two (that way I forget the details). The story evolves around a boy named Kazuma who once visited this small town and now, 10 years later, has to live there, but the only memories he has of this small town was his short time that was spent playing with a girl. On his arrival to the town, his little brothers hat gets stolen by a forest monkey and Kazuma then chases it far into the forest. Finally, getting the hat he stumbles upon a girl name Ui,who was out gathering vegetables in the forest. On the way back to the bus station, they had to cross a small stream and the only way across is to hop on some stones, but when Kazuma tried to cross the stream, he slips and lands on top of Ui effectively stealing her first kiss.
And that's how it all starts.
At first, I thought it was kind of lame, but I guess the beginning could've been worse.
Story ~6/10~
Overall, the story isn't unique, but it has it's good points to it. A boy going around proving his worth to several girls in his school and to turn around and not realize any of their feelings... sounds quite familiar.
But I still cried like a baby and laughed occasionally.
Art~7/10~
The art isn't something worth jumping off a cliff for, it has flaws here and there, but overall I would give it 7/10. The backgrounds were well drawn and I didn't get blurry vision (like I do watching some animes), so that's a plus. I guess the art is like the music, easily forgettable. The art has its own tone and gets the story across quite well.
Character ~5/10~
This is where the originality completely disappears. The characters you'll see in this anime are the same characters you've seen a million times. 2 stubborn athletic girls, one who is extremely shy, one who is shy because of her height and another shy girl who (happened to be the girl Kazuma met 10 years ago).
So, the characters are either the two extremes, shy or in-your-face. If you can find some originality in that... I'll cook you dinner.
Overall, I give this a 9/10. I enjoyed this show and I do recommend it. My review cannot simply tell you the experience I had watching this show. I just hope others find it as good as I did. The first episode might seem like a big disappointment because of how the story starts, but after that, the story doesn't seem so bad.
It's worth giving a shot.

Even though almost all harem anime are very similar (in terms of plot and characters), at least most of them have a little unique element to help separate themselves from others. This is not the case with Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, this anime is probably one of the most generic series out there. There is just nothing about this series that pops out. Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi starts out like most harems, the protagonist has just moved into a new town and then has the accidental kiss with the main heroine of the story. After getting introduced to all the characters, the protagonist gets one onone time with each girl and helps solve each of their problems. Finally, the main characters realize their true feelings for each other and that's pretty much the whole series. This series is pretty cliche after cliche after cliche, nothing special ever happens (a problem that many harem series suffer from). Another problem is that the feelings that the main characters have for each other seem to come out of nowhere .The reason for this is that there is very little development between the two main characters because most of the time is spent on the other girls. At least the ending offers closure instead of leaving the ending up in the air. There really isn't anything else to say, everything about this anime has been used in many other harem series already.
The characters are also very one dimensional and generic. The main hero of the series, Kazuma, is very kind and always helps others with their problems, and this turns into the quality that makes others fall for him, very much like many other protagonists in other harem series. A positive about the main character is that he is not extremely dense making him more likable. The main female in this anime, Ui, is actually the most unique character of the bunch because she has more traits than the rest of the cast, but that really isn't saying much. Her character is still very generic and not that interesting at all. Also some of her features may turn some people off.
The other characters pretty much have the same personality as the characters in many other harems, give or take some minor features. They are all likeable in their own way but again nothing stands out.
The art and sound are fairly good, everything is certainly colorful and backgrounds are pretty nice. The sound is what you could expect from other harems, an upbeat and catchy opening and ending.
Enjoyment all depends on the viewer, if you don't mind watching a harem then this would be another one to check off the list. It is still mildly enjoyable as long as you aren't looking for too much.
Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is the very definition of a generic harem series. Has nothing unique about it and if you have seen even one harem, there is really no point in watching this.
Thanks for reading.

To me, this is about as close to a perfect comedy/harem anime as you can get. It wasn't just a bunch of jumbled episodes dedicated solely to fan service, which I appreciate. Fan service is nice and all, but there is a thing called too much fan service, and many harem animes are guilty of it. Here, it's more, how should I put it... "fitting" "tasteful"? You get the point. Above that, there isn't some ambiguous ending. That's right, a harem lead that actually picks a girl at the end! He's not such an indecisive dunce as manyother harem protagonists. Another thing I appreciated greatly was the fact that there was actually kissing in the show (and not just the first episode). In many harem AND straight up romance anime, a confession happens and the characters are never even see touching, or are showed holding hands at the most. It made it feel more real and gave more of an impact, especially with the beautiful art and scenery that comes along with the moment ;). My only qualm was Madoka's backstory. It's not a spoiler, because you learn it very early, but it seems like there was very little reason to have had Madoka and Kazuma meet when they were young. It makes sense to have it in; it very much helped Madoka develop feelings for Kazuma, but with the show only being 12 episodes, it feels like they didn't get a chance to fully explore it.
Overall, I enjoyed this show immensly and will definitely watch it again at some point. Would recommend to fans of romance!

Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is an anime that adapted from the same title VN by feng who also the creator of VN Akane iro ni Somaru Saka. Well The story itself is not so new and just a common teenager story. The MC is Kazuma, one day he and his (cute?) little brother, ayumu, moved to a small town and meet various girls there. The plot is ordinary but interesting. I laughed a lot when i watched this anime. But for viewers that seek the harem anime, i think this isn't a harem anime. Well, this anime rise in the art. After all, this is 2011anime isn't it? The character, animation and background is very beautiful. Two things that catch my eyes in the entire anime is that the cute girls and beautiful BG. You will attached to this anime art, i swear.
The music in this anime is okay. The OP was good but, i don't think with the ED. You can hear cheerful song and beautiful song from this anime.
The Character. I don't think the character is a good thing in this anime. They just stay like the beginning to the end of this anime. Not a single character development (maybe sakai hina's father?).
One thing that have been entertaining to me is cute girls and beautiful BG. The story is fine but its just too ordinary. Love story? A little boring. you know that she love MC for the first time they meet each other. And their relationship isn't progressing at all in the anime except just for the last episode. A rushed conclusion. So i recommend it to you if you like an ordinary love story and a cute girls. This anime will entertain you.

Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is another harem romance. Thankfully recently the genre has evolved with the use of omnibus format, and a higher frequency of couples. Of course, these are some general things that have made the genre more bearable and enjoyable. Unfortunately, there is nothing that makes Hoshizora stick out among the dozens of harems, but overall not a horrible watch. Our lead Kazuma is pretty standard. He returns the countryside after a long time due to his sickly little brother. Kazuma is not horribly dense which is a relief, but he doesn't have any redeeming qualities other than the typical kindness towards others. Asusual it is up to other parts to pick up the slack. Thankfully the story is well done, incorporating three town events. The rest are everyday stuff which leaves it up to the characters to make it interesting.
Nakatsugawa Ui is even worst than Kazuma. Of course, the show starts off with a accidental falling kiss and you have two reactions. One is that it is incredibly cliché and stupid, but two you are horrified that she is going to be one of the main girls. While at least Kazuma is strong and kind, Ui acts like a five year old, treating Kazuma as a onii-chan, and all of her scenes consist of her being hungry or eating.
A bit better we have Madoka who is androphobic. She the local shrine maiden and does make you want to root for her as she actually tries to get Kazuma's attention. There is also the senpai Hina whom for some reason is horrible at communicating. While there are a few stupid moments her arc is rather funny and enjoyable. Finally we have Ibuki whom is Ui's best friend and an archer. A bit tsundere at first personally I found her the smartest and most worthy in the entire show.
The comedy isn't half bad in Hoshizora, and when the focus was on others like Koyori, self proclaimed ninja, it improved my impression of the show greatly. His little brother gets as much fanservice time as any of the girls as he is 'so cute' that he even cross dresses for us.
Hoshizora will stay in my mind as an enjoyable show. As I write this review I can't help but realize that it was rather average, and it was rather disappointing in the end. There are better harems out there so I don't think I would recommend it unless you are looking for 'just another.'
Questions and input on my review is welcome and accepted!

Story: Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, or A Bridge to the Starry Skies, is another harem story about Kazuma Hoshino moving out to the countryside because his younger brother Ayumu has a certain health problem. Now upon arrival they sort of get lost and Kazuma somehow accidentally kiss Ui when he slips and fell on her. Kind of the typical harem thing anyways, and his life in the small town of Yambiko soon starts as he makes friends and help out the other girls. Another typical thing in a harem genre anime. However the story does have a sort of romance to it and witha tad bit of comedy. Though the plot is almost not there again, but it does have it sweet moments and funny moments.
Art: The character design again really similar to many harem genre where the girls are cute and the guy is like dense. There is however a lot of scenery because the setting is in the countryside so you can expect scenes of beautiful sunsets, star filled skies, clear rivers, etc.
Sound: The sound track is really suited for the anime. The character voices are pretty well suited for each character though some were not so well suited.
Character: Since this anime is another harem genre type, the male protagonist is of course dense, though they do tweak the genre up a bit by adding a younger brother figure. This makes Kazuma seems like an even more caring person because he constantly cares about his younger brother due to his bad health. The other characters in the harem are like the generic ones, like the childhood friend, the female protagonist's best friend, the cool girl, the caring and sweet senpai, etc. So the character variation is not that creative.
Enjoyment: Overall I thought it was a pretty good anime. It was like a short romance/comedy type in my opinion and I thought that it was pretty cute how Kazuma really wanted to take care of his younger brother. Though it was really short and you might feel that it went by pretty quick. There were some funny parts and some cute parts, however it does create the feeling that the anime was kind of slow. So if you are looking for a serious romance anime this is not for you. It is mainly a short funny and sweet story about a city boy slowly falling in love with a countryside girl and making new friends in his new hometown. Well hope you enjoy!

Compared with other harem genre, this anime has a story that is 'finished', then at least the audience can expect the protagonist Kazuma will eventually have one girl character. And the preparation ofits setting is also not at all bad. The traditions of the fictional city of Yamabiko enough to be seasonings that will make fans of the romantic story touched. However, this anime is still unable to extricate themselves from having to peel the lives of the other girls, so this anime is full of events that do not need such help resolve an argument with agirl his father or to help a girlcheer a sickchild. There will probably be argued that even in small portions, these events are still part of the story, little by little become a stepping stone to eventually Kazuma and the girl chosen to unite, but if it is true, then the problem of this anime, however, lies in his storytelling that runs too slow and sometimes very boring.

A Bridge to the Starry Skies is nothing special. Its a very basic harem. Its not bad by any means. It just doesn't do anything amazing. The characters are likeable enough. But you wont remember them when you're done watching. Heck the best character is actually the MC's little brother who sounds and acts like a girl. Their interactions are better than his interactions with the girls. Plotwise nothing happens. Its just what you'd expect from a school harem romance slice of life. It has a bit of ecchi in it. Although nudity is censored. It has its cute and funny moments though.

Hoshizora is one of those few animes that I've watched but haven't reviewed straight away. Not necessarily because it was bad but because it was dull and nothing caught my interest. Like most men I enjoy watching harem animes because, even though I know a harem scenario would not happen to me in real life, I like to pretend that I'm the male lead in a harem anime. Virtually all straight men will tell you the same. One guy, dozens of girls, what more do you want? Well, I'll have to disappoint you because Hoshizora is not exacly a harem anime, despite the tag tellingus it is. Okey first then, the story - medicore at best. An extremely handsome guy called Kazuma with a brother who looks like his exact yet younger copy, decides to move into a small village. Once there a Japanese macaque grabs his brother's hat and runs off into the forest. Our heroic Kazuma runs after the monkey to retreive the hat. To our suprise he gets lost in the forest and doesn't know what to do. Miraciously, he happens to come across a good looking, pinked haired girl, around his age. Right. That's not all, read on. They start walking together and engage in a casual conversation, and then decide to cross a river(?). To cross it they have to jump on stones and the girl, predictably, makes it to the other side without a problem. The guy though, even though he's evidently stronger somehow manages to "trip" upon landing, pushes the girl over and... "accidentaly" kisses her. Apart from the fact that accidental kisses are cliche in anime, I've seen hudreds of them, the whole scene just seems so nauseatingly unbelievable, that you want to beat yourself on the head with a wrench until the memory of it goes away.
After that little incident, or shall I just say - the next day, the male lead is introduced to the town and the dozens of good looking girls that inhabit it. I thought that this was the moment where the story was going to take off. I couldn't have been more wrong. Literally nothing happens. In most animes, we'd have some sort of development involving other girls and the male lead but for the larger part of this series, Kazuma is fixated on just one girl - the one he accidentaly kissed. I mean yeah some girls like him, some more than others but there's no harem feeling to it. There's no passion, like in Yosuga No Sora. There's no drama, like in School Days. Girls don't fight over him, like in Nagasarete Airantou. The male lead is not forced to make any decisions whatsoever. It's just dull. I daresay even, that watching this anime is like watching the bold and the beautiful. Dull, boring... not interesting and it's going to be like that right to the very end.
I really wanted to give this anime a way lower rating, 4 or 5 perhaps but one good thing about this anime is the art. It's extremely good. I also watched the 1080p version which was, breathtaking. Yes, the art is definitely something the studio worked on and to see movie-grade graphics in a TV series is rare. Also the sounds were very authentic and the voice acting was good and it was thanks to a combination of those two that I was able to endure the horrendous story to the end.
With all that in mind and wanting to be fair, I added 2 extra points to the score and that bumped it up a bit. Summing things up, if you're looking for a harem anime with a decent story I guarantee you that you're not going to find anything remotely interesting in here. This is more of a vanilla romantic story involving two characters only. However, if you enjoy good voice acting and brilliant graphics, well give it a shot.

Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is an enigma in my book. Normally, I do not like ecchi, harem fan service filled animes. Strangely enough, when I caught myself watching Hoshizora, I wondered, what the hell am I thinking? There's no way I'm going to like this. Well, I decided to watch the whole thing through and gave it a shot...and to my surprise, it turned out to be a better anime than I thought. Does it have an interesting story? No, not really. It has sort of a sweet, adorable story but nothing that hasn't been done before. So what was so great about this anime? Honestly, Ithought the comedy and writing was terrific. There were so many moments where I bust out laughing that I can't count on both my hands...and trust me, its hard to get a good laugh out of me from anime. The race/festival episode itself was to die for. I don't think I've laughed so hard through an entire anime episode in my life. I think what this anime pulled off well was yes, it had ecchi moments, but it seemed like those ecchi moments were balanced out well with slap stick comedy, not entirely used for the point of fan service.
To me, this anime was a lot like Angel Beats...not in plot or characters, but rather, it was an anime with lots of flaws, but I couldn't help but enjoy it regardless. This is a difficult anime to review or recommend because I believe how you'll enjoy this anime really depends on your style of comedy. If you enjoy a dark, intriguing plot, definitely not the anime for you. Although, if you like to get a few laughs out of life humor with sex jokes and innuendo, you'll love this anime. Granted, I'm not usually one to find that sort of thing funny but I somehow managed to find this anime funny.
Mantzy
(first review on here - see my profile to see reviewing style) Series was bland, cliche and overall just a bit crap. It's a harem anime, you know what to expect. Don't know why this is tagged as seinen as, baring some nudity in episode 6, it was a very basic, somewhat childish story. Nothing that's not been seen and done better before. Protagonist not completely stupidly ignorant of all the girls' feelings which was good. There's a shota bias, which I find annoying. Watch it if you have nothing better to do, but there are better harem ones ifthat's your thing. Art good, music meh, characters pfft. Ending predictable. Really, you'll probably be bored.
Done. 5/10

Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi, A Bridge to the Starry Skies gave a promising start but as it progressed it came out to be a generic harem. After reading the synopsis i thought it might be something different from usual harem but after first two episodes the quality really started to deteriorate. Story: 6 Story has nothing new to offer and is highly predictable in fact the synopsis given for this anime itself tells the whole story. Art: 9 It has a high quality art and you can watch this anime for it. Sound: 9 Sound is also one of the positive aspects of this anime. Starting theme is really a niceone.
Character: 7
It has all the characters of a classic harem. Male protagonist is somewhat better in the sense that he is not indecisive so it is not as frustrating as other harems turn out to be.
Enjoyment: 7
Though an average anime but enjoyed it since i like animes of this genre.
Overall 7:
It is a lighthearted anime and does not get tense at any point. So if you are bored of watching serious animes and just want some typical harem, itchy, romance you can watch it. But don't watch just for romance genre as it never gave that feeling of a romance anime.
Myoui-Chan
The anime was really, well, how should I saw this... It's some sort of harem that indulges in dreams, hopes and of course, the element an anime never misses- romance. The anime talks about the main lead Kazuma Hoshino who had always cared for his (overly cute) little brother. It talked about his experience when situated in a rural environment. The story in general was good. You might feel familiarize if you're a bookworm or a movie mania, but it's still good. It's not the 'OH THIS IS ORIGINAL AND UNIQUE' type of anime, it's just your another'OH THEY'LL END UP TOGETHER OMG CAN'T BREATH OTP IS HERE' anime, but still, it'll make you scream, laugh and cry nonetheless.
The art style is great. I'll tell you that the visuals is so exquisite. Starting from Kazuma's cute and boy-next-door style all the way to Madoka's style is amazing. The visuals was just so pretty that it made the anime more enjoyable. I just had the thing against the style of their uniform (well, you'll realize that when you see how it looks on Madoka). I mean, no offense, it looks simple and absolutely adorable, but the tie, meh.
The sound is great! I love all the songs and the starting theme! It gives us this exciting vibes and stuff. I usually skip anime intros because God knows how long they take, but I didn't skip the intro in this particular anime. The sound was just so great and it fitted with the video that I cannot help myself but watch it fully. The sound was able to relate with the mood and help the viewers indulge with the atmosphere more.
The characters were good, I guess. I would appreciate it though if it showed more about how Kazuma's feelings developed, since I really shipped him with someone else. Ui's characterization was really clever, she was a bright and cheery character that always has an eye for food (especially cheese) (OMG EP 2's cheese still in my head). Madoka's characterization was rather strong and detailed- which resulted her to become my favorite character in the manga. Overall, the characters were nice.
I enjoyed the overall story and had only a few critics regarding it. I really love it, honest. I'll probably recommend it to my friends. I also recommend it for those who are reading this review now. This anime is good, the 12 episodes is probably short for you but I assure you that you'll endure an episode of laughter, tears, and probably cringing at a whole lot of exchange of dialogues!
NervousWreck
Let me just say this is my first review, so please bare with me. Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is possibly the most tragic rom/slice of life i've ever seen.... Not that it was overly dramatic but the story really didn't measure up to my expectations. Story:3 Now I personally like the story regardless of the cliches. It wasn't spectacular but it wasn't so awful i had to up and quit the show. Art:7 I loved the art. It was a little too glossy for my tastes but it was well done and the characters looked nice :). Sound:7 The sound was great. Not horrible, Nothing thatwould bug you during viewing.
Characters:6
I'd have to say even though the characters seemed to just be like any other characters from any other harem, they had this feel to them as if they were each unique in their own sense.
Enjoyment:6
The story line was your run of the mill harem. You had your karaoke and your beach seen. They also included the other events you usually see.
Overall:5
Now i'm not gonna say this was the worst anime I've ever seen but it was far from the best. The twist at the end will leave you puzzled thinking. "WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS OK?" The story up until the last 2 episodes was pretty genuine though. I thought it was going for a feeling sort of like AIR or KANON. Don't be too judgmental though and pass up on this anime due to the reviews or forum posts. It's not as bad as it seems. The reason the anime probably got the awful reviews was due to the ending. Which I'll leave you to critique yourself. If your gonna give this a shot though make sure to be prepared because your either gonna hate it or your gonna love it.

i have to say, when i finished this anime, i didn't go rushing to find a season 2, or some kind of continuation of the story. not because i didn't like it. in fact, i LOVED it. i did not, however, want more, because, really, i didn't need more. the ending was perfect. it was everything i had hoped for, and more. this is possibly my first time finishing an anime and feeling genuinely fulfilled, rather then sad, or half glad that it was finally over. i still pine for the characters, as i always do when finishing a great anime, but at thesame time, i'm happy with what i was left with. all round, this has to be one of my favorite anime of all time.

The story feels fairly similar to other school/harem/ecchi anime in that things play out more or less as you might expect. So don't go into this expecting to find something you have never seen before or anything too unique. However taking that aside the characters are all very likable and the protagonist Hoshino is actually a fun guy to watch as well. Despite not being too unique this anime does very well what it sets out to be. It had me hooked and interested from the start and i could not wait to find out who Hoshino ended up with in the end. So ifthis is the sort of anime you like, then you will probably enjoy it as much as i did.
