HanTsuki – episode 6

“Both our hands”

Nice conclusion, but there’s no way I can recommend HanTsuki. It has too many flaws: irrational characters, a complete disregard for the laws of medicine, and slipshod animation.

If you’ve started watching HanTsuki, then know that you can finish it up okay. Otherwise there are better ways to spend 150 minutes.

HanTsuki – episode 5

“One Stopped Minute”

Too much of this show makes no sense of any variety. Enclosed you will find bizarre seduction, weak justification of bastardry and, unsurprisingly, more violence than ever before seen in a hospital show!

HanTsuki – episode 4

“Only one day of school life”

When Natsume came on the screen, I was overcome by a severe case of “Gartenitis”, a condition with the symptom of “not caring a damn about any of the characters in this God-forsaken anime”.

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora – episode 3

“The End of Ezaki’s collection … and”

Let me preface this article with the following: if the hospital featured in HanTsuki was real, I would personally see to it that it was razed and rebuilt as a new hospital with a staff not composed of unprofessional bastards.

Basically, I really hate Natsume. Even though I can understand his actions, I do not believe them justifiable or forgivable. Rika and Yuuichi get on fine, but … Natsume!

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora – episode 2

“The inheritance of Tada’s collection”

Stupid and dangerous; that’s the turn the events in HanTsuki take after Rika’s doctor is introduced.

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora (Gazing up at the half moon) – episode 1

“Akiko-san, the girl and Akutagawa Ryuunosuke”

Blandly designed and disturbingly blurry, HanTsuki is still a quite compelling title about two seventeen year olds who meet while they’re both hospitalised.
