Golden Time: Collection 1 [Blu-ray]

My review for this collection is strictly based on the product itself and not the actual series. I'm assuming if you are buying this you have atleast seen part of the anime and already know what you're buying.Like all of Sentai's releases, the release is very minimalistic. You get the discs, a case, and cover art. No fancy inserts, or series related extras ( besides the usual clean OP + ED ).With that said, I prefer everything to be of the upmost quality. Which brings me to my first complaint. The art thats printed on the discs is very bad. It looks as if they designed the disc art in a very low resolution and blew it up to fit on the discs. The images are very pixelated and the text is slightly blurry. Almost what you would expect to see from a home made bootleg.My second complaint is more subjective. I really wish they would have dubbed this series. I know anime is still a pretty niche market, and majority of viewers still prefer the original Japanese dub due to how bad English dubs where back in the day. But now we have quality voice actors and production studios that have proven their abilities in producing quality dubs.And lastly, I hate when series are released in 'parts' and not all at once. I know Sentai is probably under strict guidelines from the original Japanese producers on how and when they can release a series. But i'd almost rather wait an extra few months and get 1 complete set than have something released in 2 or more parts months away from each other.

This is one of the better romantic animes out there. The art is very good and the plot is very nice. The story is based on a boy with amnesia as he attends college. he falls in love with a beautiful girl with some admittedly clinging issues. the problem is that as his love life is escalating, his prior memories are starting to come back with his past love and the flashbacks make him forget his "new" life. What will happen if his old life returns and he forgets everything else?

Wonderful anime for lovers of memory-loss driven romance with lots of bland and unnecessary drama. That may sound like a con for most, but I fully enjoyed this anime and bought it because I liked it so much. Sure it has flaws, but if you love romance with drama and jazz, you will enjoy this anime. I have both parts, and I wish they were in one collection. Other than that, the Blu-ray is the best quality and you get what is described. Wonderful addition to my collection.

The protagonists struggles with each other from the beginning bring a realistic feel to the characters as the main protagonist banri and kouko both convey their interest in to the person they believe their in love with while at the same time as the story progresses they start having natural feelings and attraction for each other and from then on things get funny, unexpected and exciting as love triangles form, overall an amazing anime and story and its just the first half of it all.

The anime look really great and it funny as well and romance. Thought it is worth watching it if ur into it. Well this is in Japanese with English sub titles . Thought it was English it was not so make sure before getting it. But I really glad i did.

Nice anime. I don't want to comment here because I already rated the second part

my daughter loves it

This is an excellent anime! It's definitely one of my favorites!

A fun romance series if a little over the top. The show seems to come into it's own after the first few episodes and provides an enjoyable ride for the first half. Certainly not as good as Toradora, but worth a watch.

5 stars all the way. Check my other review i did for collection 1.
