There’s a lot of anime that are prone to make me cry. Throw in a tragedy of sorts, a new transfer student, some unreciprocated crushes, small town woes, and the tears are sure to start flowing at some point. Many shows have come and gone to fill this void, from Winter 2016’s time travel drama Erased, to all the way back in Spring 2011’s ghostly Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day. This season’s Orange, from Steins;Gate director Hiroshi Hamasaki, seems to be pining to fill that gap.
The anime adaptation of Orange arrives fresh off the success of Ichigo Takano’s original five-volume manga, a wieldy tale of lo-fi science fiction mixed with slice of life drama. Orange begins with a group of adults in their mid-twenties. One girl, the now 26-year-old Naho Takamiya, expresses internally that she has regrets in her life. The show then flashes to ten years in the past. The now 16-year-old Naho discovers a mysterious letter written to her by her future-self in a scramble to leave for school after waking up late for the first time in her life. She brushes off the letter at first, until future-Naho’s recounting of the day goes exactly according to future-Naho’s letter. Future-Naho urges her younger self to keep a close eye on new transfer student Kakeru Naruse, and knowing deep down that the letter must be real, young-Naho carefully obliges.
