May 24, 2008 TheCriticsClub Recommended For many of us who watch anime, the medium can become something more than simply animated entertainment. Sometimes, we will find ourselves connecting on a deep emotional level with a character or characters in a show. Sometimes, the story will seem less like a fanciful escape and more like a reflection upon society or our individual lives. These are the kind of shows stick with us. They'll make us laugh, they'll make us cry, and sometimes they'll make us realize something new about ourselves. Honey and Clover is one of those kind of anime. Based on the manga by Chika Umino, Honey and Clover follows the ... Read more Open Gift Report
Mar 4, 2007 Kopanda Recommended Almost everything about Honey and Clover is unprecedented and perfected. From the unnerving OP to the moving ending narration, each episode is a dramatic and romantic take on the special lives of the six main characters. There is no action and there is no fanservice so the stereotyped teenage male audiences will avoid this series, however, the intelligent humor and very intricate intricate character development which dominates the show is sure to satisfy most mature fans who are sick of slapstick, perverted anime. At times it does get very similar to American soapies but I believe that Honey and Clover outdoes any love triangle stories. ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 28, 2007 jet2r0cks Recommended Ever get that nice feeling after you finished watching a really good series? That’s how I felt when I finished watching Honey and Clover. What a wonderful story. It’s a good mix of bittersweet growing pains, salty teardrops, and huge doses of soul searching, all brought about by Love. Ah yes, Love. That is what defines the plot of Honey and Clover. Through this anime, we see how love can go both ways – it can send you flying in the sky, or it can leave you with a knife in the back. I can relate to mostly everyone in the story, and this is also why ... Read more Open Gift Report

Oct 11, 2010 randomguy6 Recommended Note: This review pertains to both Honey and Clover and Honey and Clover II, since II is a direct continuation of the first series. What do you want to do with your life? Where do you want to go? How will you get there? What brought you here in the first place? Honey and Clover, a slice of life josei anime, addresses these types of questions. It tells the story of five friends in an art college and their lives and relationships throughout college (and some of them beyond that) as they face various obstacles. The show does a masterful job at exploring the lives and ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 30, 2013 Indolence Recommended Honey and Clover is one of the few slice of life series that deals with matters such as love and friendship very maturely, the everyday life quite realistically and the resolution with a better perspective. It is hard for me to decide to give this show a number. With little bias in mind, with the satisfaction I received, with the delightful sound tracks, it is easy for me to give this show a 10. And my advice is, don't look at the numbers, but actually understand the wonderful story the show has to offer, the beautiful story where the little things in life are highlighted ...

Apr 26, 2022 squish Recommended Unrequited love. Wishing the person you love felt the same way about you. Falling for someone you know you can't have. Channeling your pain into art. The uncertainty of adult life. The pain and guilt you feel when someone has feelings for you that you just can't return. At its core, this anime is about cherishing the good times with the people you love in the here and now, because someday they will be mere memories. Honey and Clover is one of the most realistic portrayals of relationships I have seen in an anime. The main characters are all young adults, trying to figure out ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jul 16, 2007 Gremshula Recommended Some may say I like every anime that I watch but something about Honey and Clover really made me smile. Its about a group of students who attend an Art University, trying to become something related to art and creativity. Within this storyline you have love triangles, strange characters (Morita mostly *laughs*), and lots of character plots which allow you to become more enveloped with them on an almost personal level. You could say the main character is Takemoto, a striving artist who is still struggling to find out what type of future he\'ll have. He moves into a dorm-like apartment not far from the campus ...

Apr 1, 2014 jawnmewn Recommended It is not uncommon to worry about the future. What is my purpose in life? How will I change as a person and affect both my loved ones and those around me? Questions like these are thought about frequently and many begin to come to terms with the answers to these questions in their university years. Hachimitsu to Clover, or Honey and Clover, explores this idea, mixing in romance and relationships for a nice slow paced slice of life; it tells the tale of a group of college friends and colleagues as they spend their days growing close to each other, dealing with the outside ...

Sep 30, 2008 lovescream Recommended Wow. Honey and Clover is a somewhat long series (considering it has two series), and watching all of it is definitely time-consuming, but I guarantee that it will be worth it. Story: 9/10. I can definitely say, without a doubt, that this is the most inspirational and moving anime I've ever seen. At times, there is that typical shoujo-romance thing going on, but other than that, everything else is just too amazing for words. Also, the story is a bit plain at times, but I loved it nonetheless. It's very unique in its own ways -- the way it creates dramas, the way the ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 19, 2012 moonstars Recommended I first picked up Honey and Clover one school break during my college days, during the days when all I can think about is friendship/love/pressure to succeed/family woes, and then I found an image of myself in the story. This is how Honey and Clover succeeds to become a heart-warming slice of life series, I think it gave me a glimmer of hope despite the fleeting nature of youth, HnC assures me that you can make wonderful memories even when youth is long gone. The pace of HnC is slow, but relaxing. It is animation in poetry form, the details and soft colours paint a character's ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 1, 2015 ran614 Recommended In life, there’s always moments of happiness. Happiness, in general, can be achieved quite easily; receiving an unexpected gift, having great success in your career, and most especially, falling in love. But have we once thought that every time happiness comes our way, there will always be someone around us that will be on the opposite side of the coin? Failure comes with success, bitterness come with love. These are bundled facts in life that no human being is immune to. In my first review, I’ll be talking about Hachimitsu to Clover or Honey and Clover. A series that tells the story about a group ... Read more Open Gift Report
Oct 27, 2012 Black_Rose1809 Recommended The key to happiness is something we humans long to find in our short time in this earth. It's something that can't be seen nor touched, but we want to find it. A way we find this key is to go through our lives searching it, but like a four-leaved clover, it takes some fumbling around the grass to find it. In Honey and Clover, our main characters do just that, fumbling around life to find that key to happiness while life keeps going forward, no matter if they find it or not. While this is a story of not battles to save the world, ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 26, 2008 maybelletea Recommended My favorite genre of anime has usually been either slice-of-life or romance. This is no exception. It is one of the best romance anime you’ll probably ever see. What makes it so good, is that all the human emotions in it… they seem so real. Story Love is the main part of the story. Any type, you name it: confused love, selfish love, unrequited love, and just plain love. This is such a dramatic anime, but what happens to the characters makes it very realistic. Frustrations of feeling alone, the pressure of everyone around you, the anxieties of where you’ll be in life, are all things the ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 26, 2014 Dragon-san Recommended (This is a review on the entire Honey and Clover franchise, including the OVAs) Why is love so bittersweet? Love, friendship, and jealousy: a simple love story that focuses on the growth and development of an individual from adolescence to adulthood. That is Honey and Clover in a nutshell. Honey and Clover revolves around the daily lives of five college students whose lives are changed when love gets in the way of their affairs. The story starts off, rather slow, with spontaneous comedic outbursts and a nonexistent plot. It is at this point where I wanted to drop it; however, once the fourth episode come around, the ...

Jan 27, 2008 Titan-Kikumaru Recommended This story tells us about the struggling of youth. Youth that supposed to be the best phase of human’s life turns out to be not so sweet. In this series we’ll see the character’s struggle to express their feeling, to find what they’re really want, to accept a bitter defeat, and face the ugly side of love. While the common Shoujou animes are quietly predictable - the female leading star will get her dream, going out with the leading man, Hachikuro give a hard cold fact that you can’t always get what you want. Hachikuro’s target audience is the young female adults. The story it ... Read more Open Gift Report

Jun 9, 2020 DarkOdyn Recommended "Where am I going?" Those type of questions are probably not so unfamiliar to most of us. Perhaps even some of us dread having those lingering thoughts in the back of our heads. But what if we could get insight from someone that dealt with life's hardships? That's where Honey and Clover comes in and thats also why I believe it's not something everyone will appreciate. The series talks about the lifes and problems of a group of five art students connected with ... Read more Open Gift Report
Aug 11, 2017 gabrielrroiz Recommended Minor spoilers for honey and clover, so be warned. After the personal turmoil of an experience that was watching 3-gatsu no lion, I found myself needing more. As I have stated on another review, that you can look for, if you are interest for more in-depth thoughts, 3-gatsu has managed to become one of my favorite pieces of fictions. So it is only natural, that after that I would be looking for the authors other works, at worst to see how she has evolved as writer, at best to get a close experience. On that note, there was another highly regarded work from author umino chika, ... Read more Open Gift Report More Reviews |
