The Kimagure Orange Road series ecnters on a teenage romantic triangle: Hikaru and Madoka were best friends until they fell for Kyosuke, an understated hero with psychic powers. In 1991, the 19-year-old Kyosuke is struck by car and propelled three years into the future, where he tries to understand the change that have taken place in his world. Madoka and Hikaru have grown up to become a promising songwriter and a stufent of drama and dance, respectively; the oler Kyosuke is a student-photographer on assignment in Bosnia. The problem of two Kyosuke coexisting is played gor laughs, including a sequence where the 22-year-old Jyosuke counsels his younger self. The filmmakers expect the viewer to know the characters from the OAVs, although designs have been changed. The result is a Pax-style romantic fantasy, rather than a sci-fi adventure. Suggested rating is 15 + nudity, sexual situations, alcohol and tobacco use.
