Here's a light harem series. There's really not a whole lot of interesting story telling here but still was slightly ok series to sit through. Art, Animation & Character Designs Artwork is below par. The colors were on the bland side and the the characters looked dead and one-dimensional. The biggest issue were the girls... all looked alike.... the "clone" syndrome. This is normally a big turnoff for me and this time was no exception. At times, background artwork was "slightly" better than ok..... but hardly often. Music The OP sounded like a gazillion other openings with female vocals... poop (pop) piece. Boring if you ask me. The soundtrack had mostly boring elevator music. Nothing here to really mention. And then there's the ED... which for the most part was similar to the OP.... but slightly better. Series and Episode Story So here's a typical harem series with not a whole lot going on in terms of story. This series consists of various arcs. Essentially, we have a couple episodes dedicated to each female character telling of how they ended up at the dorm... for the most part. Nothing original here nor exciting. The big issue I have with this series is the "clone" syndrome. All the girls look identical except for the color of hair... or eyes. Second issue I have with this series is the near useless teacher, "Kirishima". I seriously disliked how she for the most part got pushed around so easily... by students at that! Overall, this was a just a light dull entertainment that's marginally passable. If you've got other things to watch, skip this one for sure. Last updated Tuesday, May 03 2011.

[Score: 71% = "Watch+"; suggested silent drama stories of this type: Lamune, Aishiteru Ze Baby, True Tears] A classical "nice guy harem" with the one male person at the dorm fixing the issues of the troubled girls around him; think Kanon (2006) lite, i. e. without the fantasy and most of the tragedy elements but including several plausibility issues. Average technical ratings, simple characters (whose faces may look similar whereas their seiyuu make them easy to tell apart). The six arcs form a consistent time line but aren't shown in chronological order. Two episodes per arc are just enough for a plausible development; arcs 1 and 2 wasted time on comedy whereas arcs 3-5 have enough family drama to make them an interesting experience. The final arc attempted to be the romance part but failed at that; the final filler episode was even worse. So three reasonable arcs out of six result in no more than a "Watch" rating for the whole series.

The Japanese title この青空に約束を―～ようこそつぐみ寮へ～ (loosely) translates to Under this promsing blue sky - Welcome to the dormitory, it will be closing soon. (as translated by Babelfish.) The second episode is available as a fansub. Ummm - so what can I say about the first episode? Uninspiring? Unremarkable? Is this based on a dating-sim? And the animation is by Artland! I remember another reviewer's critical comments about a series in which all of the girls looked alike, except for the color of their hair and eyes. And I am afraid to mention that this series suffers from the same problem. Makes me wonder if the animation team was just too lazy to be creative? Last updated Friday, June 08 2007.
