Hana-Kimi Episode 1 Review anime adaptation 1990s 2000s manga

Signal.MD, known for their work on Platinum End, continues a trend of visually unremarkable anime with the first episode of Hana-Kimi. The art style is generic and relies heavily on noticeable CGI backgrounds, which are particularly distracting during important scenes. This episode also misses the mark in terms of tone, feeling overly dramatic instead of capturing the lighthearted romantic comedy spirit that made the original series so beloved.
