Scheduled for airing in the Spring season of 2011, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi is an adaptation of Feng's visual novel of the same name.
According to the information which I have looked up, the storyline revolves around Hoshino Kazuma who has just moved into a new town. Typical of some visual novels falling into the romance genre, he loses his way on his very first day of school. Bumping into Nakatsugawa Ui, the female protagonist, she offers to guide him. A slip by Kazuma causes him to push Ui over, resulting in a kiss. Will romance blossom between both characters?
On first glance, the storyline sounds rather predictable. Considering that the visual novel was only released last October, the producers and animation studio must have reasons for releasing its anime counterpart so quickly. As with other anime titles adapted from visual novels, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi could either leave a deep impression on viewers or quickly fade from their minds. Personally, I am hoping for the former.

Akane Iro Ni Somaru Saka, which was also a visual novel from Feng, did not fare too badly, especially its swimsuit OVA. Hopefully, Hoshizora e Kakaru Hashi can perform well too.
Just watched the first episode, and I found it to be much better than expected, (and it's definitely taking the place of ore tachi for my bishoujo anime of the season).
Spoiler:
The episode flowed well, and I absolutely loved Ayumu. He really is too cute for words, and I daww'd when he asked his brother to sleep with him for the night because he was scared.
I also really liked the bathhouse owner, Senka. She was especially funny when she kept on making fun of Kazuma's penis. That was priceless.
Ui seems likable enough, and as long as they keep a healthy amount of Ayumu involved, I'm content.
A good anime but why i can't stop thinking that the cutest part of this anime is the main char little brother..... he keeps making me HNGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!(Ooo this anime is turning me into shotacon)
Not bad. The usual VN-adaptation, it seems, with a squeaky younger brother thrown in for some reason...
Don't usually play VNs, but have watched a few anime adaptations (Shuffle, Clannad) and this seems to be heading more towards the Shuffle route (and I stopped watching Shuffle half-way), but I guess I might watch a few more episodes to get a better opinion.
I didn't really like Shuffle's ending, since it turned from 'choose to be either king of the gods or king of the demons' to 'fuck the rules, I choose neither.'
First two episodes were nothing special, but it kept me interested. Considering that the VN adaption was this quick I'm pretty sure it won't disappoint.
edit: I wasn't sure if he had a younger brother or sister until the end of the first episode lol
I thought it was a pretty nice episode, with the gang running around town, checking out everything. Ui was especially cute this episode, and I love her big appetite. I also liked the dynamic between Daigo and his mom, the teacher. I laughed when he was made to use a box for his desk after being an ass.
Ok this show is already much better than Shuffle, IMO. Not usually into the harem-ish kind of shows, but this one doesn't seem bad.
Ep.2: So we got a tsundere, a Voracious Eater, etc. And eveyone thinks the little brother is the cutest thing on the planet. And something's up with the shrine maiden...?
"You little brother can't possibly be that cute!" Indeed. I laughed that the only nipples we've seen so far have been Ayumu's.
I'm liking the character dynamics thus far, although once again we have a silly male friend. The characters mesh well, and this episode did a good job of giving the characters equal screen time.
Haha very small town as you can hear the teacher and the student call eachother Mom and son. Wow Ui has a black hole stomach makes me wonder if she will ever stop eating. I wonder if Madoka is afraid of men cause it sure looked like it. Kazuma's younger brother does look cute and doesn't really resemble Kazuma haha. Is it me or was that fanservice for girls?
Agree... though I like how the confess while forgetting the names who they are acting... was it written on the scroll that names megami and ogami at aren't needed and just confess??
