Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Irishchatter I think the way Kouko is like this over the top kind of girl which makes me think of Reece Witherspoons character in Legally Blonde. I'm not trying to compare the two but both do have a similarity a bit! I like the way this animes story goes as well as its characters. Like Banri didn't give a darn crap of what background Kouko has, he still loved her for who she is. You do have to feel sorry for him through as he did lost a lot of memory and the fact he just isn't aware of where he originally came from. I'm surprised thst the parents weren't involved in this! I'm glad he found love since he's been through enough and in the ending, I really thought he forgot about Kouko when his memory finally came back to him but I'm glad it was the other way round and the two of them lived happily ever after!Really well done anime 8/10

Hitansh Shah Golden Time is a very nicely written romance anime with a new type of and a nice story.It is about a guy Tada Banri having lost his memories in an accident meeting an obsessive and immature as well as possessive girl Kaga Kouko and them ending up falling in love.Unlike another romance anime, this one sees their journey of being a couple too and the challenges that they face because of the girl's obsessiveness and the boy's dark past.The story is a dark one but you would feel it as a very light story while you watch because of the humor that the girl as well as their friends use.Also the soundtracks and the flashback scenes are very convincing.Surely the anime justifies it's title because when you finish the anime you will actually understand the reason behind the title.So guys I highly recommend this wonderful anime for you.

Horror Icon This popular anime is a perfect example of its genre. An amazing soundtrack accompanies the Shōnen storyline and its interesting cast of characters who provide ample humour. Kaga-san was, of course, my favourite character and was also voiced by my favourite voice actress/Japanese singer - Yui Horie. The opening theme, 'Golden Time', and ending theme, 'Sweet and Sweet Cherry', were both brilliant songs by Yui Horie. I was disappointed when these were replaced by other themes halfway through the series. 2D-kun and Mitsuo were the primary sources for humour. Despite a generally upbeat feel, the anime certainly takes dark turns, and these scenes are quite artistic. Flashbacks and dreams were excellent, and the portrayal of Banri's ghost was also engaging. I highly recommend this outstanding anime.

Tweekums When protagonist Tada Banri starts at university he is completely lost but soon he meets makes friends with Mitsuo Yanagisawa who is also lost. He also meets the beautiful Koko Kaga; a girl who is only attending the university because she is in love with Mitsuo… unfortunately the feelings are not reciprocated! Banri and Koko become friends and eventually she gets over Mitsuo and starts a relationship with Banri. Things won't be simple though as Banri has a secret; following an accident he has lost all his memories up to that point and doesn't realise that the girl who runs the club he and Koko joined is actually an old flame. When he starts to learn more about the past he fears what will happen if his memories return… will his old personality take over again and will he forget about Koko?This romantic comedy was more fun than I expected; amnesia may be one of the most overused clichés in anime but here it serves the story well and leads to some heart wrenching moments… right up until the end I was unsure how things would work out. There are also plenty of laughs to be had… especially when the 'Tea Party Club' are involved! Things may get more serious towards the end but the change of mood is done in a way that doesn't make one think it feels like a different show. The characters are likable with a great central cast and a well-rounded cast of supporting characters. Overall I really enjoyed this series, feeling that it got better as it progressed; I'd certainly recommend it to anybody wanting a bittersweet romantic comedy.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
