(Synopsis)
Kyosuke is your typical high school boy. He comes from a family endowed with various psychic abilities. He also can't make up his mind between two girls. Oh, he's ordinary all right. For Kyosuke, there's the beautiful and mysterious Madoka, but there's also the cute and vivacious Hikaru. The problem is, Madoka and Hikaru are best friends, and both of them have feelings for Kyosuke too! Hikaru lets everyone know how much she likes Kyosuke, while Madoka hides her sentiments. To top it all off, Kyosuke is always getting in trouble because of his teleportation powers. So who's going to be the lucky lady? Kyosuke will have to make his choice soon.
Kimagure Orange Road is widely considered a classic in anime fandom, and most deservedly so. While by no means perfect, there's a certain magic KOR has that few anime of this genre can capture. Everything is done with just the right touch. There are funny as well as touching moments, and KOR creates a truly believable setting where we can identify and relate to the characters. KOR possesses this nostalgic air about it. From the sepia-toned introductory sequences to the way the story unfolds, KOR can be likened to a wistful trip down memory lane. A couple of episodes lag a little in terms of pace but they don't really present a major problem. The art and animation are quite good although a bit dated-looking, and can still hold up to newer anime releases. The original art however, is gorgeous. Another great thing about KOR is the existence of a resolution, and even an epilogue of sorts in the New KOR, which shows us what happens to the characters several years after. At last, a love triangle that won't leave you hanging.
