The story tell us that we can even fall in love with someone in the hospital eventhough we have a weak body. The story is about Ezaki (boy) who has a disease and need to stay in a hospital for a long time. But one day, a girl name rika transfer to the same hospital that Ezaki stay. She is very selfish and greedy but because she doesn't have a long to live so she is like that. Rika has a disease even serious than Ezaki. But when both of them meet each other, both of them start to get close to each other. Later Rika decides to do the operation eventhough the success rate of operation is very low because she want to live longer so that she can be with Ezaki. Later Ezaki promise to give up everything so that he can be with Rika. Worth watching anime ^__^ This story let you understand that you must get love first eventhough there is a short amount of time spent that Ezaki and Rika will be together ;) (show less)

"Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora" has a beautiful story. Not in a way that it's original or surprising but rather that it's really touching. I started watching this because an other reviewer had the same taste as me. It wasn't what I expected but I was pleasantly surprised.

The story isn't that original because it's a medical situation but that's only the surface. Deeper down it's filled with all kinds of emotions that make it worth watching. It can be sad, joyful and at occasions funny.

The dialogue is good. It leaves some things to the viewer's imagination and I especially liked the references to some books even though I haven't read any of them.

At first I was kind of bothered by the animation. It seemed pretty old. But after seeing how some emotions and situations were displayed I forgot about this flaw.

It's hard to explain why I liked "Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora" but the interactions between the two main characters were fun to watch. It reminded me a bit of Clannad but probably only because that's the only other drama anime I've watched so far. (show less)
