My opinion: Even though it’s been a few years since I saw HanTsuki (Hanbun no Tsuki), I can still say with confidence that I enjoyed this one very much. This is a short, heart-warming lil’ romance anime about a boy named Yuuichi and a girl, Rika, in a hospital.
Rika doesn’t have long to live and you, the viewer, are perfectly aware of this. While this dreadful fact will follow you to the very end (as you’ll wonder how everything will end up), the warmness surrounding the two main characters will somehow ease that fact (which is quite a challenge, if you consider that this is an anime about death).
Whether you’re a boy or a girl, this is a show that you’ll most likely enjoy if you like romance anime, even by a little. It’s only 6 episodes long; go for it ! Uncle Zana says you shouldn’t miss that one 8)
As for me, I definitely plan on rewatching this when I’ll have the chance.

    Not about this anime in particular but I am really reluctant to watch such short shows. The second you start to get into the story it's already over and that's just frustrating (for me). Thus I never really watch those 6 episodes anime.
    You guys don't really feel that way, do you? :>

    Edit: I tried to edit my username on this post and changed it in the editwindow – but the change does not apply to the post. Maybe a bug? :/

      Unfortunately it's mostly a question of budget. Although some series are just about right with 12 episodes or so, I do agree that 6 episodes (or less), can sometimes feel short.
      Well, we can't help it ;)

      (for your nick, the change did apply, but you need a page refresh.
      I explained that in a previous post. I can't recall which one though).

        There is no relation between them,"let me add,in parenthesis" means this is a digression?I'm not sure,I got it from search-engine.I just sighed with emotion??(I don't know how to express this sentence in English..).C80 is a big event,I'm glad that many interesting things will be released…
        As for the anime,it's too short,I'll be upset if I found it's really good but I watching the whole anime too quick.
