The series revolves around a 12 year old girl named Kouyama Mitsuki. Her parents died when she was small so she lives with her grandmother. All her life she wanted to become a singer. She made a promise to her childhood friend Eichi, who she fell in love with, that she would fulfill her dreams to become a singer. However, that wish cannot happen as long as she has the throat cancer which she developed. One day she was visited by two Shinigamis (God of Death) named Meroko and Takuto. They told her she has only one year left to live because of her throat cancer. Before she dies, she wanted to fulfill the promise she made with Eichi. Takuto decides to help her by turning her into a sixteen year old so she can participate in the singing audition. As long as she was transformed, the cancer in her throat is gone so it would not affect her singing. With the help of Takuto and Meroko, Mitsuki's journey to become a singer begins.

This is one of the best series I have ever seen. The first few episodes starts slow but after that the story just gets better and better. I just couldn’t stop once I started watching this series. The story development is amazing. It has a mixture of romance, comedy, and drama, everything you want in a warm loving anime series. Either each episode leaves you with a good feeling or it leaves you in suspense making you want to watch more. The ending was not disappointing at all. The endings for some anime series I have seen were either just bad or they rushed it, but Full moon was different. I just wish the series would never stop, but I know all good things come to an end, or do they? Character development was mostly centered on Mitsuki. It would have been better if they had more character development for the other characters but that would mean more episodes and a bigger budget...it always comes down to money..."sigh".

The character design was very nice. It was just nice and simple and its one of the reasons I think that makes this design so good. Some of the characters were drawn very cute especially Meroko and Takuto.

Music was great. I loved every ending song that was presented at the end of each episode. The series is just not the same without the ending songs. I wasn’t a fan of the opening music though, but it was still good listening to it.

The person who does Mitsuki's voice is Myco. She is the lead singer of the Jpop group called Changin My Life. She was the one who sings all the ending songs for this series. I was surprised when I found this out. I have to say she did a pretty good job doing Mitsuki's voice. She is not a bad singer. In fact, I like her so much I have one of her albums already :).

There are many animes out there that disappoint me in some kind of way, either it’s the story, music, endings, etc, but this one did not disappoint me at all. I cannot emphasize anymore how good this anime is. So try to watch this anime when you get a chance to. I would recommend this to anybody who likes music and a good story in their anime. For those who don’t like this kind of stuff, just watch it anyways :) . For those who think this anime sucks without watching it, then I just feel sorry for you.

Hype Rating: 9.5/10
