Possibly one of the best anime to have been in the recent spring line up. noitaminA does it again with this manga adaption. One of the best paced anime Ive ever seen. A lot people initially complained about the art but its very Natsume Ono. Plus the two main leads Masa and Yaichi are voiced by Namikawa Daisuke and Sakurai Takahiro (that was my main reason for watching it right there). If slice of life but with a suspenseful/mystery too it. Very very underrated but very VERY good!

Yaichi is &hearts

Funimation streamed this so all 12 epis can be found on their site, plus VizMedia had up to chap 10 of the manga on their site.

I like the art! Every noitaminA show I've seen so far has been good, so I'll give this one a look

[yamikakyuu]

noitaminA really goes above and beyond with this, def chk it out!

I am glad to see you highlight this series. It has some of the best subtle character interaction/development I've seen in awhile. :)

Id been wanting to do it since epi 3 but decided to wait til the entire series was done so people wouldnt have to wait week to week like we did XD

I totally agree with you on the character development part!

Good choice! I always think that the noitaminA slot shows are awesome. The only thing lacking is the promotional stuff, which is quite a shame.

ALSO, I adore Ono Natsume. This anime is executed so beautifully and the attention to detail is amazing. The plot, the characters are all done very well too.

Yeah apparently the ratings for Five Leaves were very very low which sucks since its so good!

It really was excuted wonderfully, epsc Masa who grows so much in just 12 epis.

[yamikakyuu]
