| I can't stress how amazing this show was. The artwork was amazing. I really loved the abstractness, and gears and stuff. The music really isn't relevant at first but later on, well to prevent spoilers ill just say it sent chills down my spine. The story, well lets just say it was like anime version of LOST on steroid that really got you following the mood whether it be that I'm about to cry or laughing my ass off. The character really touched you and there is no doubt I will remember them. As I stressed before, I really loved this show. And don't forget to watch the prequil first.

| Ef- A Tale of Melodies is more of a continuation than a sequel to A Tale of Memories. It tells the tale of the older generation (Kuze, Yuko, and Himura) that seemed to show up randomly but at key moments in the first series to give the young couples words of advice. This series greatly deepens the meaning of the relationships in Memories and puts the whole "two cities" and other ideas in perspective. The story very nicely generalizes to the main story behind Himura-Yuuko and Kuze-Mizuki while still maintaining cameo appearances by the cast in the original Memories.
This series, unlike many other recent watches, attempts to carry a message to the viewer rather than serving as a means of entertainment. On the note of entertainment, this series is VERY DARK. I would not recommend this series for those under 14. A Tale of Melodies is a very, very sad tale indeed. This series is not for the faint of heart as some scenes/stories verge on disturbing. However, the entire point behind the series combined (Memories and Melodies) is the theme of perseverance.
Melodies did an outstanding job of uniting the stories of both series as well as bringing a satisfying sense of completion to the series. The ending is very well planned and executed (contrast with DCIISS) and left me very impressed. I had high expectations for this series after Memories and it did not disappoint.
