Mixed Feelings
Hoshi No Koe, or Voices of a Distant Star, is an anime that will make you question whether or not you've accidentally stumbled upon a PowerPoint presentation. The story follows two lovers separated by space and time, and their attempts to stay connected through text messages and giant robot battles. Because, you know, nothing says "romance" like fighting off alien invaders.

The style of Hoshi No Koe is...well, let's just say it's not for everyone. The animation is a strange mix of 2D and 3D, with character designs that are reminiscent of a middle schooler's doodles. But hey, who needs actual artistic talent when you can just throw some fancy camera angles and lens flares into the mix, right?

As for the main characters, we have the angsty teenage boy who's always brooding and trying to act tough, and the girl who's...also angsty and always trying to act tough. It's like watching a live-action Twilight movie, but with giant robots and a fraction of the budget.

The music in Hoshi No Koe is actually quite good, which is a relief considering how lackluster the rest of the anime is. It's emotional and haunting, and really helps to elevate some of the more dramatic scenes.

As for my enjoyment experience, well...let's just say that Hoshi No Koe is an acquired taste. It's like eating a dish you've never tried before and not quite knowing whether you like it or not. 7.333/10, because while it's not exactly a masterpiece, it's still worth watching if you're in the mood for some bizarre, quasi-romantic robot battles.
