hey_love Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 [size=1]I enjoy watching this series. It reminds me of my sister and her boyfriend. :animeswea I've watched episodes 1-10. Well, I've only watched half of episode ten because I had to go home before I could watch the rest of the episode. -- I watch that anime at my cousin's house because they have the boxset. :D It's very cute. Very funny. And rather romantic at that. I was wondering, how many episodes are there in this series?[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagger Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 [QUOTE=hey_love][size=1] I was wondering, how many episodes are there in this series?[/size][/QUOTE]It's twenty-six episodes long. However, that doesn't cover the whole story. If you want to see what happens afterward, you'll have to read the manga. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hey_love Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 [size=1]I just finished watching the twenty-six episodes last night. I was left with a kind of sad feeling how the series just stops. It stops at such a horrible time, I think. But, that just means I'll have to start reading the manga!!! :D [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekova Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 The last episode had the same "to be continued" message that was on every other episode, and it definately left some gaping plot holes. Does anyone know if they ever plan to pick it up again (for instance, when enough manga are written to compose another season)? I loved this series, but felt totally unsatisfied with the last couple episodes. They would have been awesome as part of the middle of the series, but just left me hanging since (as far as I know) they won't be continued.

Fasteriskhead Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Good god, this thread's been brought to life back more times than several of the Dragonball Z cast. No, the anime pretty much just hits a wall right there; it's a "failure" if you have to keep score on these things, but then again a failure by the Gainax crew is usually still immeasurably better than, well, most anime series one would care to name. There's a long story behind the Kare Kano anime that I'm still not entirely clear on (I'm not sure if anyone is). The short version, from what is pretty well agreed on: the author of the original manga and the show's sponsors got upset with Anno and forced him out, leaving Tsurumaki in the driver's seat. Anno, still in full-on existential examination mode after Evangelion, apparently wanted to take the story off in a different direction from what the manga author was planning; add on top of that your typical golden age Gainax difficulties with budget and deadlines, and they apparently wanted him gone asap. After that, Anno messed around with Ghibli, naughty hamster cartoons, and live action before returning to revive Cutie Honey with a movie and new series (which are both fantastic, by the way). So to answer your question: no, there isn't really an ending, and although you can go and read the manga, it's really a very different beast. All being said, though, it's a heck of a series. Watching it is really like seeing a torch get passed from the old schoolers who made Gunbuster, Nadia, and Evangelion over to the dudes who would later turn in FLCL and Abenobashi. Plus, my god, it's traditional shoujo fare done Gainax style; we'll never again see its like on this earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panache Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I love His and Her circumstances its my 3rd favorite anime of all time. It has good characters that I can relate too (tsubasa for me) and a really good story with some deep issues. It is definitally the best romance anime of all time.

SunfallE Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 [COLOR=RoyalBlue]I finally got around to watching the first episode of this. Yukino's personality is just so wacky and zany with her initial agenda to get Arima. It's very compelling with how she's so driven to get attention and yet it seems to me that it's really to cover a [spoiler] deep loneliness. [/spoiler] Either way I love how the first episode ended with Arima showing up at Yukino's house when she's [spoiler] not all prettied up. [/spoiler] It definitely foreshadows an interesting relationship developing between those two. I certainly hope the rest of this show is as fun as the first episode was.

Dagger Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 It definitely gets better from there (as far as I'm concerned). I hope you enjoy the rest of the show! :) The more I read about the manga's last few arcs & its ending, the happier I am that the anime stopped where it did. ~Dagger~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
