| I'd say give it a go. Disregard what critics say and just watch it to see whether you like it. |
| I think it's a good balance of both. The visuals complement the dialogue and the emotions; they are an integral part of what makes ef - A Tale of Memories so great. I don't know what those critics were thinking because there were plenty of character development in the show. Just watch the first episode and see for yourself. EDIT: Wow, okay just realized I totally misread your first sentence thinking you were talking about Memories, not Melodies. Although I haven't seen Melodies yet, it won't hurt to try an episode? |

I Personally Loved Them Both, But Memories Was Better was it as good as clannad? And more importantly, does it have any shockingly sad moments or not so much Not As Good As Clannad, But It Has Certain Parts That Could Break Your Heart. Yup ! There Were Definitely Sad/Shocking Moments. But Those Are Towards The End. Because If I Recall Correctly, There Are Some Flashbacks And Character backgrounds Somewhere in The Beginning To Create A Bigger Impact Towards The Ending. |

| I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't like Ef. It just seemed so boring and stupid, sorry to hate but that's what I felt. I loved Clannad but didn't like this. |

| My favorite quotes from animes: Those who seek miracles will never experience one. The hand of salvation only extends to people who try to make miracles happen. - Ef a tale of melodies. I destroy worlds. I create worlds. - Code geass We are humans. - Shinsekai yori 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! - One punch man |
| Ef - a tale of Memories is very beautiful anime. It's masterpiece in my opinion. But not Melodies. It was worse. Much more drama in this series, it looks very depressing sometimes, seriously. Ending was not such beautiful like in Memories. But I still think it's good anime, although it has defects. But some people says that this is better than first season. That's issue of taste. You should give a chance for this anime. |

| Don't know if I'm being more or less objective, seeing that I've seen Memories more than a year and a half ago, but I really enjoyed watching Melodies after all that time. In my opinion it was a worthy sequel. And the way it was directed! I wouldn't hesitate to call it art. So if you've liked Memories, definitely give Melodies a try. It's worth your time! |
| LOL ARE YOU CRAZY!? ITS SO NOT BAD!! but it really depends on your taste genre. Its one of the best romance. |
| Honestly, I have to agree with those critics that say this show sacrificed things for the visuals. The story could have been executed a lot better imo as it did have great potential to go somewhere. If this anime wasn't so artfully done in terms of visuals and sound, I definitely would have given this anime a lower score. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Not at all, it's as good as the prequel but its more sad . |
| Melodies is just as good as Memories, only a lot darker. The visuals made it great, watch episode 6 of Melodies and tell me differently. |

Tennouji_Kotarou said: So I just finished Yuuko's route in the VN, and I have to say that it was by far the best out of all the 5 routes, which is why I was very surprised to hear that Melodies wasn't held in very high regard by people who saw Memories. I don't plan to watch the anime anytime soon, so can anyone who's seen both the anime and read the VN clarify the reasoning behind this outlook? Did SHAFT mess up the source material badly or something in the second season? Melodies is pretty much one of the worst visual novel adaptions I've ever seen. And I mean that. It's not as bad as Umineko as it's certainly watchable. But holy crap, the characters, the development, the story...the main thing is how rediculously cheezy and over-dramatic they made the anime in comparison. It makes several scenes completely laughable. Mizuki and Yuuko's brother are utter jokes in comparison to their visual novel counterparts (all the characters suffer, but those 2 got hit the worst). So tl;dr yes they screwed up...badly. Funny because the melodies part of the VN is miles and I mean miles ahead of the memories section. |

| yes i thought it was bad but it depends on what you think |
| RRRRRRRRRR |
| It's pretty good. Reviews can be helpful to get a good idea of what to expect in the show, but never let them decide whether or not a show's good for you. People have different opinions. |

| I didn't watch it but I don't care about reviews made by anyone else besides me. All that matters is that yourself like it or not. |
