An excellent anime. This anime was produced in the late 1990's and aired in Japan in 1999. It was acquired by Rightstuf and digitalized (checkout their web sight for details of the effort to restore from film). This story is based on a video game that was popular around the time of this programs release.

Each disk has some extras including Line art gallary, Character Bios, Translation notes, Trailers and Mini episodes (minis are only in Japanese language with subtitles). The main episodes do have English language voice track for those of us that hate the aggravasion of reading subtitles.
Disk 1 has four episodes. Disks 2,3,& 4 have three episodes and 2 mini episodes.

I will leave story reviews and art critique to other reviewers I found nothing to complain about. Overall this is the story of High school students and their interactions. Nothing new here, there is a little of everything and it is interesting as a slice of life program. You could argue that there are better and funnier and more exciting anime of this kind available and you can find far worse.
For story and art work 4 stars. For restoration to digital format and providing an English voice track 5 stars.
The box set is a good deal. I hope they can acquire the second season someday.
Also, the studio that made this anime also made Comic Party. You should see that anime as well as Comic Party Revolution. I Think the "Comic Party" anime is a little better than "ToHeart" but that is just my opinion.

This anime came in a quality package. It was a hard box with thin dvds placed inside of it. It's very durable. The anime itself is very nice and addicting. You get attached to the characters as they interact with each other in day to day activities. This is a very cute anime.

"To Heart" is a very good adept of high school life in japan. With the typical high school day to day life, drama, stress, comedy with a few touches of romance. If your looking for your typical romantic comedy this isnt for you. I'm more into the romantic comedy myself but the series had plunty of drama and comedy to keep me going. From my high school point of veiw i never really enjoyed it much. From watching this i wish more schools in america were more like this i would have enjoyed it alot more.
