Sentimental Journey

Aired: 1998

A television anime based on NEC InterChannel's dating simulation game Sentimental Graffiti, told in an omnibus format. Set one year before the game's protagonist reunites with its twelve heroines, each episode shifts perspective to focus on a single girl, carefully portraying her everyday life, romantic feelings, and relationships with family. The unusual structure gives every heroine her own lead episode, and the variety of locations spread across Japan expands the game's world in ways unique to animation. The theme songs are performed by Kaoru Watanabe, one of the heroine actresses.
