After going around to find another series to watch, I found this one. I was happy when I found it because it was a series I was looking for a while back then. I was glad I was able to get through it. It was a good series to watch.

It has a nice start to the whole series which slowly brings you into the story a bit. They managed to balance comedy with drama throughout the series and use that to help make the series a bit more emotional towards the end. Your heart will jump when you reach the drama-focused parts of the series. You will laugh when you reach the funny parts of the series. You will love this series. It was a good series for a short one. They managed to pack a load of storyline and emotions into the series and make it very enjoyable. I recommend this series for those people who are looking for short series to watch.

The sequel to Ef - A Tale of Memories, a series I did a review on earlier. After waiting for a while, I have finally got down to watching the sequel and ended up loving the series even more. ^-^

Despite it being a sequel to the previous great series, it seems like a series of itself. The story starts out very independent at first, but it does make brief references to the previous story. It also helps wrap up the loose ends left by the first series and answers some mysteries left behind. In this story, it introduces some hidden story lines and reveals how the whole romance epic began and also how it all ends. This sequel answers the unanswered questions of the first story and also completes the series even more. It was truly a great sequel. It made the series even greater than it was before.
