Based off the property that started off as an adult visual novel
that then went to the console world, 11Eyes is a twelve episode series
with a non-continuity OVA that came out in the fall of 2009 alongside a
manga that's still running as of this writing. The visual novel to anime
route is pretty normal for the last few years, both for normal ones and
adult ones. The problem that you can have with the adult conversion
ones is that once you remove the adult factor from it, you can wind up
with something bland. With just twelve episodes to tell the tale, 11Eyes
has a lot of ground to cover in order to achieve that. Unfortunately, I
don't think it really succeeded in setting itself apart. The
story of 11 Eyes is one that takes place in your fairly standard high
school setting where we're introduced to Kakeru Satsuki, a young man who
has been doubly hurt in his life. The first is the loss of his older
sister seven years prior while the other is a problem with his eye where
he has no real sight in it so he wears a surprisingly stylish patch
over it. Kakeru is a pretty average student otherwise in that he's
generally liked and doesn't seem to have any social or academic issues.
What he does have is a girlfriend in all but name with Yuka, a childhood
friend of his who dotes on him much the same way he dotes on her in
various ways. The two are a bit much at times with how they interact
without actually making it pretty plain as to where things really stand.
