    Reception

    In The Anime Encyclopedia: A Century of Japanese Animation, by Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy, they wrote: "[a] tale of yuppie love isn’t what most Westerners expect from the Madhouse team, renowned abroad for horror like Wicked City, but this exudes quiet charm and elegance."[9] Justin Sevakis of Anime News Network wrote: "Nineteen19 is a reflection on a simpler time, on youth, and first loves. It's a rare, fashionably-idealized look at what it means to be a single guy, and a window on a world and a pop culture that doesn't exist anymore, if it ever really existed at all."[10]
