Fan reviews: Algernon ni Hanataba o

Dot · 9 Apr 2004

The tempo is very slow, but consistently good. It's touching, esp towards the end. Too bad that I've not read the novel, so cannot give a review of how good (or bad) the conversion is... The casts did a superb job. You can see (and feel) the transition of Haru, from mentality slow to a genius... and back... recomend this drama to those who loves slow and serious dramas...

I read the novel back in high school and loved it. I saw most of the series when I went to Japan (saw up to 6 I believe) but still loved it. I loved Santa Maria's portrayal as Haru and did a good job. I just didn't like how the teacher cried every episode.
