Overall, it was a well thought out, and developed story. Though I did have one fairly major issue with this series, I do feel my enjoyment was at its highest by the end of the series.

The music in both series\' are well placed, but I feel the this series did better in their use of it\'s mood effecting power. The characters in this all developed, while in Fushigi Yuugi, some characters pretty well disappeared. I at first was a bit unsure of this series because of my obvious bias towards it being a Fushigi Yuugi rip, the series, in my opinion, developed better in many aspects. Even though these two were favourites, everyone else did develope still. Tenma was favoured as a possible love interest, while Yasuaki was favoured as a simply cool character. The anime also favourited Tenma, and Yasuaki, I found. While Tenma bugged me with how much he looked and acted like Kyo from Fruits Basket, I suppose he was a necessary character since many of the other characters had a bit more toned down personalities. While I was reminded of other anime characters (Tenma was lovingly nicknames \'Kyo\', Shimon was for awhile known as \'Shimizu\' and Akane by \'Kahoko\') each character did develope well, and had their own personality. All the characters got an episode or two to themselves, and they did their best to keep no one from disappearing in the shadows.

While the series makes me think of Fushigi Yuugi, it is above and beyond in the character developement. This is where the series truly ranks above and beyond. All the characters were decent singers as well, which is always a bonus. Though we did not hear Akane\'s song, or for that matter, two of the four villians, it did give us a taste of the characters themselves, because they occured in their \'special\' episodes. The in series music was well done, and I did enjoy the occasional snippets of character image themes. The opening theme is incredibly catchy, with a good ending theme that matches the opening. I enjoyed the music in this series quite a bit. While some of the colour scheming seems a bit odd in the clothing, the show is based off an game, so they did remain true to the original style. While it\'s not the most top notch, it does have well done colouring, and nicely done backgrounds and landscapes. The animation style fits the series well.

The purpose of my rating is though as the story goes along, it gets better, the basic plot reminded me way to much of Fushigi Yuugi. Shimon and Tenma attempt to stop her from being pulled in, but fail, and join her asĪkane must gather the eight hachinyou of the four gods to help her protect Kyou from Akram, an evil demon out to take control of the world. On the way to school one day, Akane is called to the world of Kyou as the 'Priestess of Ryuujin' in the country of Kyou. Harukanary Toki no Naka de ~Hachiyo Shou~ is the story of a modern day girl, Akane, and her two friends Shimon and Tenma. This anime, though only 26 episodes, I can easily see as an instant classic.

Harukanary Toki no Naka de ~Hachiyo Shou~ is a dating sim-gone-anime type story, that leads any fangirl into a world of hot men, and engaging story.
