Its premiere in the fall season of 2005 would coincide with the much-anticipated PC version of the game (it was originally on Playstation 2), To Heart 2: XRATED. Technically, To Heart 2 the anime is created for existing and upcoming fans of the original game.

Takaaki is neither a Bakayuki or a Junichi, but if you ask me… he acts kinda gayish. The lead male character is also an improvement over other similar series. The To Heart 2 characters have the same cuteness vibe that made the original To Heart so popular. While this cast sounds extremely cliche, the difference is in the moe~ factor. The energetic childhood friend, the mature onee-sama, the soft-spoken iincho, the annoying challenge girl, the scheming club president, the weird girl from outer space, twins with different personalities, and the ever-required maid robot. For one, I really love the mix of the all-new characters this time. I played the game, and featured it rather heavily, so there may be some personal biases of mine that will lead to the anime counterpart getting a more positive review from me. This time, To Heart 2 more or less had the same problems, but not enough to call it a bad anime… or maybe… I’m biased? That series not only had inconsistent animation, but a pace and story that I didn’t enjoy too much. But then the IMO horror that is ~Remember my Memories~ still looms.


I was thinking all the while that To Heart 2 will be really good, considering that Comic Party Revolution, the other anime franchise of Aquaplus, turned out rather well.
