"In ages past, a man and a woman tasted forbidden love. Even though they could not be together, they made a vow that would transcend time. When next they meet, their fire will rekindle. In modern day, there is a boy's academy located high in the mountains called Kanenone. Yusuke is one of the reincarnated lovers and a student at Kanenone. When an all-girls class is transferred to the school for a summer session, could one of them be his past romance?"
Picked up this title over a year ago and I'm just now watching it! Honestly, I wasn't missing out on much. The show has its ups, but it also has a lot of downs which are hard to overcome. I really want to rate this one a 4, but it really is just an average show with nothing really special about it. There are a few surprises in Green Green so I'll try to avoid any spoilers. Here we go!
Plot: It's there, but it's sitting in idle for a lot of the time. Midori is Yusuke's reincarnated love and the first we see of her is a flying tackle/hug with obligational panty shots. She has regained her memories of the past and is now after Yusuke to defy their destiny and be together forever. The first 10 episodes are about her chasing after him like a love-crazed schoolgirl. At the same time, other girls are becoming closer to Yusuke and possibly threatening to tear them apart. Don't expect a nice and happy ending with this one.
Characters: Pretty standard character assortment except that Yusuke actually has some determination for a main character... when it's not dealing with denying his friends' requests. He snaps several times at Midori reminding her that he doesn't know her and that he's not in love with her.
I honestly hate the trio of idiots that are his friends, though. Stupidity is one thing, but the level of idiocy/perversion that they display was almost enough to get me to stop watching early on. Your mind will likely be tortored by the PE storage room scene, too. They get some just deserts towards the end, though.
Graphics: Green Green is close to a decade old now. The series isn't pretty by any stretch of the imagination. What is drawn with detail? Sadly, just the panties and boobs! The first volume just showed breasts without any nipples unless it was a guy. Oddly, the second volume put them in with full detail. And the third started using some censors for frontal shots. It was really odd to see such a difference within a single season of an anime and I don't even know why they used censors when nothing was shown.
Other stuff: I greatly disliked the English dubs. After 5 minutes, I put it on Japanese with subtitles. I should have known that it wouldn't be good when I saw the Anime Works logo. The extras include 3 omake animation episodes. Each one is separate from the main series and tend to be very ecchi in nature.
Overall, I liked parts of the series while I disliked others. The ending rushed some drama in, provided a non-happy ending, and also left me slightly confused with why any of the girls were now showing interest in the idiot trio even when nothing had changed in the series thus far. Definitely not my favorite series by a long shot, but I still watched it in one go and don't regret it. Not bad for just $15.

im not too much into anime but thought id give it a try on the blu-ray player. this is an awesome set for someone wanting a watchable series. it is interesting enough to continue from episode to episode without getting bored. plus with three discs, theres plenty to watch.
