| Summary: |
To the south of Japan, there lies a lush green island called Southern Cross Isle. One night, a boy by the name of Takuto Tsunashi washes up on the shore of the island alone. Having swum from the mainland alone and without any possessions, this boy enrolls in the senior high level in the school on the island - Southern Cross High School.
With his bright and positive personality, he starts to mix with various students in the school and builds relationships with many of them, including Wako Agemaki and Sugata Shindou. But this school hides a deep secret. There are sleeping giants hidden under the ground called "Cybuddies".
There are about 20 of these giants, and they are just some of the various secrets kept by everyone on the island: The secret movements of the mysterious organization known as "Kirahoshi Juujidan". The songs of the shrine maidens. And even Takuto himself will soon come to embrace a great secret...
This island in the southern territories surrounded by the blue sea and the blue skies is the stage where the "Eulogy of Youth" filled with love, dreams and friendships, will begin. |

I first saw this anime when I went on a trip to Japan and was reeled in with the ending song that I always seemed to catch the end of. So finally I watched it and found it pretty good.
I won't say its the greatest anime. Action wise yes it is great the main character is athletic, drawn in a way that may lure in the female audience and has a pretty stereotypical bright personality. Story wise its a bit boring. Its got mecha fights, school life, comedy and romance (not a lot being a male targeted anime) but the mecha moments will seem a bit repetitive.
For anyone whose seen the Pokemon series it is structured in a similar episode structure. Bad guy appears, main character and bad guy gets into mecha (not part of pokemon but you get the point), fights, main character wins, the episode ends.
The comedy provides a bright and refreshing uniqueness to the anime as do the style of mechas. Though one of the good things of this anime is its ability to keep the comedy within every episode. And the colour fit this sort of anime of light hearted comedy.
Dialogue is a bit repetitive whenever the mecha moments are concerned. The mecha moments will have a song sung by one of the four maiden characters. Its good because the music's nice however like I've said it constant appearance does pull down the entertainment and did make me skip through the bits.
All in all its a good anime if you're planning to watch it over a long period of time (which you probably won't). If you're into mecha fights, well drawn characters, bright comedy or repetitive episodes then by all means watch it. However if you're not into the cliches and repetition (seems like I'm doing a lot of that too sorry) then I suggest you try another anime.
