Romantica Clock

Before everybody gets their otaku panties in a twist about this "show," and how incredibly short and uneventful it may be, go read the manga. This mini-series has basically compiled itself to be a very short add to the manga while still giving the audience teasers to what the series is about, but clearly the manga elaborates on these details and gives the reader much more background to the characters and plot to the story. So don't see this as an anime "series," see it as a teaser trailer to the manga series. If you're interested in what you see but wish there was more ... to it, go read the manga. If you find this "mini-series" annoying but are wondering "What the hell man?!", go read the manga. If you just like cute stories, go read the manga. The manga is enjoyable, and well put together. In the first chapter you get a lot of background story to the characters and a better understanding of what the story is going to be trying to accomplish. It's a good read. So don't knock the teaser trailer until you've read a few chapters of the manga.

The art style is pretty. Sibling rivalry is not the most groundbreaking plot, but more than rivals, Akane uses her twin brother like a motivation? In the first episode, when the glasses guy insulted Akane, her twin brother said, "She isn't stupid; she is just dense." Why do both of the twins think this is a defensive line? It's not his intention, but he actually takes the side of the jerk with the glasses. His twin sister gets touched since she thinks he protected her. If I were her sibling, I would just beat that guy up. Also, why does the female lead get moved ... by everything his twin brother does and says? If it was a realistic manga, we would see them fighting all the time like most siblings do, but this is probably just a cute shoujo manga.

Story 5
The story seems typical from what I can tell.

Art 7
Art is nice

Sound 3
I could barely hear it and when I did it really didn't add to anything at all.

Character 4
... Their personalities seem alright but not the best and they seem to hardly try to make this intriguing.

Enjoyment 4
About 4 minutes to watch all of this, thus a 4 for enjoyment.

Overall 4
Of course we all saw this coming. Yes, a 4.

I am rating this as what it was meant to be and that is a trailer I'm assuming from other reviews. It did have the advertisement vibe to it yet it wasn't satisfying. There should be only 1 episode if its going to be a trailer, not 3 episodes that viewers have to chase around to see what this is going to be about. You'll probably understand more about the manga just by reading the summary.
