First Impressions: Ano Natsu de Matteru

Third in a row, not bad for a night when I got a migraine.

Anyhow, my very first thought was that the style is similar to Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. and that the main character Kaito looked a lot like Jinta from previously said anime.

It's also in a summer setting and with, I assume, someone either out of this world or fantasy-like human girl, much like Meiko being a ghost. Difference would be that this girl that suddenly appeared isn't a ghost and therefore can be seen by others. (laughs)

It appears as if Kaito got seriously hurt when he was testing his recorder one night not long before summer break. However, the girl saved him and the next day she transfers to his school, and later is invited to his house for the night when he learns she doesn't have any place to go.

I had some good laughs and got pretty excited about this show, as I watched the first episode. Some fan service, but nothing too much, so far. I think this show could be one of the better ones this season.
