First off, the story got over my grooming concerns of the story but accelerating Nozomi's mental growth at a crazy pace.
I would have thought it would take years for Nozomi's mental age to catch up but who knows? Its not like there have been cases of kids in comas for 25 years to base this on.
I enjoyed the dark turn that the story takes when Yuto tells her that he has to compromise his principles and she should grow up and act her age.
While Nozomi is trying to catch up for lost time, every other character is stuck in the past and she blames herself for it.
I enjoyed Shibasaki Kou's acting in this show as she does a decent job of portraying Nozomi through many mental stages.
The last episode though I did not like. Way too cheesy and everything is wrapped up too neatly in a bow.
The struggles that Yuto and Manami go through, they were entertaining characters but their struggles were undercooked and not... real enough.
On the whole I enjoyed 35-sai no Shoujo. It was an interesting concept that was decently executed but wasn't as satisfying for me. Watchable.
