Sora no Manimani

Sora No Manimani an anime that gives an insight into stargazing, the show itself is relaxing and doesn't really stand out from the other anime in this field.

For an anime that is stated to have romance, its not straight in your face and you have to look for it, its simple to follow and you learn a lot from it i.e all the star constellations.

I personally found it to be an enjoyable, relaxing and easy going anime, that will make you smile and potentially make you wonder about the greater universe.

The music and art make up for character development which i found lacked in ... a few characters.

overall this show was a great watch and perfect for passing the time, i highly recommend you watch this one.

Do you love stars? if yes, then this anime is for you...Just finished re-watching this anime, my mp3 player played the OP song "super Noisy Nova" by Sphere that's why i decided to re-watch it. I love the songs of the group Sphere, good OP songs can sometimes attract viewers, well that always happen to me :D
Story
This is about Ooyagi Saku, a boy who's re-united with his childhood friend who loves stargazing named Akeno Mihoshi. This anime focus around the activities of the astronomy club where Ooyagi was forced to join because of its low member count. There's a little comedy and school romance too, ... to add to the fun of watching this anime.
At first, i was wondering what this anime can offer me since I'm not into stargazing, but seeing the smile in their faces while stargazing somewhat gives me joy in my heart. When they are doing their club activities, how I wish I was there too or I want to experience stargazing like they do *sigh* ... This anime manage to deliver the excitement and the joy of stargazing, thatfs why when I finished watching it, I go outside the house at night and look up in the sky to see if Ifm gonna find some constellation that was shown in the anime ( can't see it... damn light pollution).
This is a good anime to watch and its educational too, too bad it's only twelve episode.This anime can change the way you look in the sky at night.

Its a story of an obnoxious girl (Mihoshi) who ruined a boy’s childhood (Saku) by forcing him into doing things she likes.

And now they are reunited 7 years later and she is once again ruining his life by forcing him into doing things she likes.

He is guilted into joining her stargazing club.
Stargazing is her passion not his. He likes reading and should be in the literature club.

Other people cant even have a moment to talk to him because she always storms in and tackles him to the floor.

The anime tries to present the story as whimsical, charming, and endearing by playing soft music ... whenever Mihoshi makes her sad speech. I love looking at the stars at night too. But this is actually a manipulative technique that movies and shows like to use in order to control your emotion.

There are 5 of them in the club. None of the characters are that interesting.
Mihoshi is loud, never shuts up, and is always trying to hug Saku.
Saku just wants to be left alone so he can read.
The club president Roma is always coughing up blood.
There is another girl Sayo who is the intelligent and calm one, who always has a sweet smile. She might be the only character I like.
And you have Hime who has a crush on Saku so decides to join the club.
There isnt much to these characters.

The comedy in this comes in 2 flavors. Either the president is coughing up blood. Or Mihoshi tries to hug Saku as he tries to resist.

Its just an anime about a guy who wants privacy but cant have it.
