Do not be fooled by thinking ef stands for f***.

I liked ef A tale of Memories. The story is mysterious and keeps you addicted to it as you want to know whats gonna happen next. Its not as sad as Clannad but still its a nice love story. Recommended to watch

I hated ef A tale of Melodies. It was just copy paste of the first one except that its got fillers and its about the adults in Memories. The other difference is this one alternates from the past and the future as well as its about 2 guys. The fillers is really annoying as it just repeats a sentence with the text in Japanese filling up the whole screen with sentences which are the same except they keep changing 1 or 2 words at the end for about 3 minutes long. This happen 2 times in that anime and it really makes your teeth grind. Still recomended but it would have been better if not for the fillers.

Overall, both of them had beautiful art and music. Since its based on an adult game, so I understand why the female characters strip after confessions and sleep with the male partner. However, the show is clean.
