To Heart 2 Review

With my last review of To Heart I mentioned I would review To Heart 2. Well I've finished it so now I'm going to review To Heart 2. To Heart was the visual novel sequel to To Heart 2. It was then adapted into a few manga and a 13-episode anime series, followed by 5 different OVAs. To Heart 2 is also a romance, harem, slice of life To Heart. While sequels usually aren't as good I actually liked To Heart 2 better than the To Heart. While To Heart doesn't earn my top spot I still enjoyed it even though there were a few details that could be fixed. I might mention a little bit about the romances in this anime so...

************************!!!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!************************


Summary
After graduating from middle school, Konomi Yuzuhara enters the same high school as her childhood friend, Takaaki Kono. As the school year begins, they meet their childhood friend Tamaki Kosaka, as well as many new acquaintances. Unbeknownst, their encounters will soon lead to many memorable adventures.
Tamaki and Konomi are both one year older and one year younger than Takaaki respectively. Takaaki thinks of them as older and younger sisters while Konomi has always had feelings for Takaaki since they were little.


My Thoughts
Like I said, I actually liked To Heart 2 a little better than To Heart. While there is some romance, there isn't much of a story go off of it well maybe in the last 2 episodes, kind of. And that's the kind of trend with harem anime, it's mostly hit or miss for me. I feel it would be better if Takaaki ended up with most preferably Konomi because they would make such a cute couple (Feel Free to Ship!). Konomi's known Takaaki since they were children and has feelings for him that are past friendship or even best friends, so I feel she's the best girl in the series for him. I also mentioned them in my 2017 Valentines Day Post. The ending still did satisfy me in a way. It wasn't a bad series as there good enjoyable moments and characters that were quite unique in their own way.


My Conclusion
I would give To Heart 2 4/5 stars or an 8/10 score. While it's not overall the best romance anime, there are enjoyable moments and good characters. I look forward to watching some similar romance harem series which I will probably review in the future like Da Capo, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi (A Bridge to Starry Skies), and Tsuki wa Higashi ni Hi wa Nishi ni: Operation Sanctuary (HaniHani: Operation Sanctuary).
