Kimi ga Nozomu Eien

[Ichigo_101]

I really want to watch this series... but it kinda old so no one seed it now... =/
Anyone know where I can direct dl or seed me? please...

[Dannyz]

don't watch this series, your only in for heartbreak.

[Ichigo_101]

I heard its very good...

[ninamori]

It was so sad.....

:crying

But I liked the ending. =)

ps- I have no clue. xD

[zicler]

yeh it's very good. Only this one and Hoshi no Koe ("Voices of Distanct Stars" I Recomend this ova, one of the best animation/story ever) made me cry :')

[Ichigo_101]

so no one know where I can dl this series =/
I found a lot of torrents but no seed !!!!!!!!!!

[Arilou]

It's definately one of my favourite series.

Recommended.

[solinari67]

how many episodes are there in this series? animenfo says 13, but the boxtorrents dl says 14. i've got the lunar subs, which, from what i've found, only go up to 13. can anyone help clear this up for me?

[Chillin]

There are 14 episodes, Lunar did sub all of them I know that

[solinari67]

awesome, thank you. i wasn't sure if it was including a promo episode or if there was an additional OAV added to the series (kinda like what happened with wolf's rain)

[hadou]

i watched this series and i really liked it. anyone know of another series similar to this one?

[Lucifer]

oh well. so popular is anime drama/romance for realistic.... but I don't like it, I'm angry this is anime. so very SAD.

[Dannyz]

akane manaix - starring akane from kgne

kanon

air

peach girl

[Nekomimi]

Keke im in the same boat as you...We have both glimpsed a truely incredible romance anime and its very hard to find something to compare. :sad

But dont lose hope there are some pretty good comparable (if not as good as) anime out there. Air is a wonderful series(The movie is kinda meh), Suzuka is a great currently airing TV series thats pretty realistic in the way KGNE is, and I have mixed feelings on Kannon but if you liked KGNE it'll probably suit you.

Other then that...hmmm...theres some other series im watching atm I guess only time will tell if they turn out any near as good as KGNE, nya.

[eternally]

God no, not Akane Maniax..

Suzuka's the closest thing to it, but (IMO at least) Suzuka sucks...

DCSS also *had* a storyline quite similar to it, but...you know...>>

[solinari67]

i haven't watched any of it, but i think "honey and clover" is supposed to fall into that category.

[Arilou]

I loved KGNE.... Strangely enough I find that apart from that one most good romances aren't found in romance animé :p

RahXephon, PlanetES and Infity Ryvius all have (I think) excellent romances, and none of them are romance shows.

Another series (slightly more humorous, much longer, and not as sad) is Hana Yori Dango. It's a high school romance with a girl protagonist. It's really good, but very old.

Yea I havent heard anything positive about akane maniax sadly heh...She wasnt my favorite chara anyway keke. Now if theyd made a series for Haruka...Ahhh thatd be heaven, nya. :smile-big

I noticed you list DCSS and have it in your sig...How do you like it? The first season was OK, but from the descriptions of the new season they completely threw out the ending of season 1?Like theres little to no mention of nemu? Thats what turned me off, nya.

[Dannyz]

the only reason why i mentioned akane maniax is because of the tie in with akane. other than that, its a whole different ballgame.

normally i agree with eternally on most things. she seems to be a girl version of me. but in this case she is completely wrong. Suzuka DOES NOT suck. maybe it is just a difference in opinion, but i cannot see how people would say it is bad. everyone ive heard from really gets into it. there are some really great dramatic moments in it. some of them even rivaling kgne and da capo in terms of sheer agnst factor.

push the spoiler button on my sig and look at the picture on the right. HOW can you not fall in love with this girl? impossible.

[TiRMcDoHL]

Alright I'm gonna go ahead and put spoiler tags up, but there aren't any new topics about this and I just watched the series in the last two days and need to discuss from the comments I've heard mentioned in other threads.

I'm going to go ahead and put my personal opinion first. I thought this was one of the best romance/drama animes I've ever seen and I'm a sucker for them in general. It's a pretty depressing series, which is partly why it is so good. Even so, I feel the ending to the series is 'very' good. I've heard other sides to the argument.

Many people feel that Narumi should have been faithful to Haruka and not be with Mitsuki at all. Wrong IMO. We don't see very much evidence of a vastly deep relationship with Narumi and Haruka PRE-accident. I mean they were dating, seemed to get along good, ok, but it didn't seem to go on that long before the accident. I can understand Narumi going into a sorta depression for a year (a year right?, could be wrong) because he thought he put Haruka in the coma. Mitsuki obviously liked him from the beginning of the series and anyone could tell this, and she cared for him for a year before she let her feelings out. Narumi needed comfort IMO, she provided it so I can see why he would be drawn to her. But over the next two years he grew into a relationship with Mitsuki and it was pretty good up until Haruka came out of the coma.

How can people say that it's wrong for Narumi to be with Mitsuki? Let's say you date a girl for a couple of weeks (arbitrary) and she has an accident and goes into a coma (which you may think is your fault). Are you going to not date anyone the whole rest of your life to wait for her to wake up from her coma? NO! It's not like you were already married and this happened, it's been a relatively short time that they've been going out. I feel that Narumi is perfectly justified for having feelings with Mitsuki and vice versa.

Now that sets the stage for was it a good ending. IMO yes. If Haruka never woke up I feel that Mitsuki and Narumi probably would have moved in, got married, the end. There wouldn't be much of an anime there anyways either. So even though Haruka wakes up and he may still care for her, I feel it is Narumi's responsibility to be with Mitsuki now and not Haruka. I was thinking this the moment Haruka woke up and was hoping the whole series that he'd finally realize and go back to Mitsuki in the end. And guess what? He DOES. The way he does it and his struggle to come to terms with his feelings is what makes this anime so good.

Wow I have that much feelings for an anime I've known for a whole 3 days. Sorry if this seems like a rant but I just couldnt really get my opinion off in any other way.

Begin the debate, I'm curious to hear other sides on this, though I still think any other sides are wrong :P

[Kev]

Yeah I liked the ending too
Mitsuki hid her emotions for Narumi and helped her friend get together with him. After the end of episode one, you can already tell she likes him. She even says, that she hid her emotions just so Haruka could be happy. After Haruka got into her coma, Mitsuki couldn't hide her emotions anymore. When Haruka hit Mitsuki at the hospital, I started to dislike Haruka a bit, but I realize that she had no idea what Mitsuki did for her.
Anyways, the ending was pretty good, and it ended nicely too, as Haruka got married and Mitsuki went with Narumi

Yay for supporters! But I must have missed something, I didn't know in the ending Haruka got married. They kinda rushed the ending and condensed it into like 5 mins. I thought she published a picture book and Narumi came by and saw it in a store window with her name on it and smiled. When did she get married?

[Katsuki]

Yup you got me argeed with you here too tirmcdohl, nice points. Yeah i never heard she got married either.

forgive me but it's been year since i saw this anime + i'm not good i putting my toughts in to words so be gentle


Mitsuki should have never tried to get Haruka and Narumi together
she should have just told Haruka that she liked him 2.So that Haruka would know that she could lose him at anytime and that she would fight to make him her's.then if ether one won i would have never hated Mitsuki.
Not when haruka goes into a coma and then make her move.
i understand that Mitsuki hated to See Narumi takayuki like that.
when a person u love/like is like that u tend to ge worried.
But who i hate even more than Mitsuki is Narumi.
u should blame urself for something u have no control over.
and then try to take her away out of the hospital b/c ur depressed and drop out of school and stuff.I would blame it all on Mitzuki she held narumi up b/c of her he was late.if it wern't for her Haruka wouldn't be in a coma and then Narumi would have never become a psycho for a year.
hold u i changed my mind i hate mitsuki the most.
all in short The only Chars i like in this serie are Akane And Haruka.
now in don't know what to typ any more so i'm done:tem

edit: one more thing i have to admit this anime was damn good

First of all I think it's unfair that you even put an accident blame on somebody's head. It's ok for the characters who experienced it to feel guilt and maybe THINK they did it. But in reality, it's no one's fault, that's why it was an ACCIDENT. You cant say it was Narumi's fault for being late or Mitsuki's fault for holding him up, because it was neither of their faults. Had to get that out of the way.

Though you may be right that Mitsuki should have told Narumi her feelings from the beginning, I don't think it was all that bad to try to help her friend. That's why you have friends, to help them, and she was helping her friend by setting her up with a guy she liked (but only liked him through contact to set her friend up, so its ok). I don't know how many times I've come across this situation in real life so I really relate to Mitsuki here.

I also agree it was pretty stupid to go into a depression for a year but sometimes shit like that just happens. You can't really blame him for it unless you experience it yourself and feel the pain that he does.

So overall you hate Mitsuki because she caused Haruka to be in the accident and because you feel she waited until an opportunity came up where Haruka was out of the picture to confess her feelings for Narumi. I don't think Mitsuki was 'waiting' for the moment to confess her feelings, the accident happened, and things changed like life does, and she developed such strong feelings for him over time that she just had to let it out.

Helping a friend ok i agree
but i would rather have that she told haruka that she liked him to
and it one of them won the would by happy for the winner

that true vist everyday that what i would have done but that just me.:tem

now that i think of it it's not fair to hate someone for confessing
*thinking*
nvm i leave it at this

[Katsuki]

Blame the driver :kukukuHahahaha, yeah, what the hell was that guy doing way the hell up on that curb anyways?

[TiRMcDoHL]

haha i agree.

though he probably was a drunk driver, you see so many things like this on the news these days :sad

[TiRMcDoHL]

Helping a friend ok i agree
but i would rather have that she told haruka that she liked him to
and it one of them won the would by happy for the winner

But then wouldn't it be another ichigo 100%?

This anime is great for it's uniqueness, and I'm pretty sure I can say that because I've never seen anything else like this, though there probably is and I'm wrong lol.

[Masahiro]

I thought she published a picture book and Narumi came by and saw it in a store window with her name on it and smiled. When did she get married?
Didn't see if anyone answeared, but we don't know WHEN she got married, just that the book cover doesn't say Suzumiya Haruka it says: Written by Murakami Haruka that probably means she got married :wink

[TiRMcDoHL]

Wow good observation! I clearly remember that now watching the last episode yesterday but overlooked it. Good eyes, I'm glad for Haruka.

*edit* - so that's why Narumi smiled :smile-big

[Notaku]

haven't seen ichigo 100% yet
i'll watch it after Pani poni Dash

back on topic:
To change my opinion i'll have to watch the anime again but i don't have the last eppy i gave the cd away

[TiRMcDoHL]

I'm not asking you to change your opinion, infact, I'm glad you posted yours so I have someone to argue to about it!

Is this anime not known that well? Did it come out on TV, it has some ecchi scenes that show more than usual. I'm guessing it's not known as well as some of of the other more popular ones but I'm wondering why not.

*edit* -forgot to finish my post lol

The reason I'm asking if it's not well known is because I woulda expected more people to post, but it only has been an hour or two anyways and not everyone doesn't have a life like me and constantly reads these forums :P

[Katsuki]

Didn't see if anyone answeared, but we don't know WHEN she got married, just that the book cover doesn't say Suzumiya Haruka it says: Written by Murakami Haruka that probably means she got married :wink Ohhhh, I didnt even see that, damn masa your like a KGNE SasuRyu.

[Katsuki]

Yeah this anime is hella popular I at least know that, so dont worry youll get some mean discusion soon, since I know theres alot of hard core haruka fans.

[Notaku]

The reason I'm asking if it's not well known is because I woulda expected more people to post, but it only has been an hour or two anyways and not everyone doesn't have a life like me and constantly reads these forums :P

i same here nothine else to do:scry:D

[TiRMcDoHL]

Going home now but I'm expecting posts when I get back!

[Notaku]

lol i hope so to:tem

[Lingz]

Damn, great post TiRMcDoHL. You've covered the points well. I do agree that it was the best ending possible for the relationships.

[TiRMcDoHL]

Damn, great post TiRMcDoHL. You've covered the points well. I do agree that it was the best ending possible for the relationships.

! Praise from Lingz! :laugh

I just think that post covers all the points about the series well. I've only known about this anime for 3 days yet I feel like I can debate it to no end, eerie.

[solinari67]

one thing that i COULD NOT STAND about the anime was that everyone blamed Narumi. everyone's unhappiness was blamed on him. and there was absolutely no reason for that. i kept waiting for him to snap at mitsuki and yell "it's your damn fault for making me buy you that ring!" instead, the man shoulders all of this blame, and gets abused by everyone. he was such a nice guy and they all treated him like shit, even mitsuki, who went out and banged his former best friend. he still forgives her for everything.

Well that wasnt his fault nor, was everthing that happened his fault, but there was a lot that was his fault. And one of the things I blame him for is shouldering alll that blame, he thought everthing was his fault, boo hoo, and he went and broke down for a whole year! Then he continued to do nothing over and over again. He thought everthing was his fault so he got all depressed and made things worse.

She was drunk, didn't know half of what she was doing and thought that Narumi was gonig to leave her for Haruka. Narumi was all kissing Haruka too and so they broke up. I think that Narumi can forgive her because he feels he did the same thing (in so many words) with Haruka.

[eternally]

I loved KGNE.... Strangely enough I find that apart from that one most good romances aren't found in romance animé :p

RahXephon, PlanetES and Infity Ryvius all have (I think) excellent romances, and none of them are romance shows.

Another series (slightly more humorous, much longer, and not as sad) is Hana Yori Dango. It's a high school romance with a girl protagonist. It's really good, but very old.

Yummm...IR...KoujixFaina!! xD Sorry, I just have this natural penchant towards evil girls.

About Suzuka...I just hate it. It reminds me of one of those Korean dramas my mom watches where it's blatantly obvious who is going to end up with who yet it just drags on so much you just want to strangle the main characters and hiss "JUST GET TOGETHER ALREADY DAMMIT!" Kinda like AYA, but not as funny.

I think that girl's Honoka. I hate Suzuka. I hate Yamato. I love Honoka. :huh

[Nekomimi]

I dont usually engage in debate when it comes to this series because I have a really hard time not getting really emotional and illogical about it keke.

I think in the end he made the right choice as far as who he picked, but my problem is I got so wrapped up in the story and the characters its hard for me to seperate what I think narumi needed to do and what I would have done, nya.

I think for him specifically mitsuki was a better fit for him, but I totally felt for haruka sooo much that I didnt want her to be hurt...I really wish theyd put out a second series with her as the lead so I just could get to see her being more happy keke...

But I guess thats a mark of a truely great series...You kinda find yourself stepping into the minds of the characters to such a deep degree while your watching the series that you almost feel like you "become" them in a way and you want them to act and behave like you would...Thats my problem atleast that makes me get too emotional about these characters, nya. They are them....Thier not me keke...So from a outside prespective he did the right thing in the end I think no matter how much it made me sad(Omigosh did I cry waaay too much at the last episode :wink )

Well thats my really rambling thoughts on it. ^.^

[kronex]

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien Is one of the greatest Anime serie i have ever seen. (the best romance)
and yes "AM" sucks if you likes KGNE. but i havent seen the last ep.(ep.3) have anyone of you done that. cant find it on the net. i have seen pic on the net, on whats happend to mitsuki, haruka and the rest.
rahxephon is a good serie in romance too. but not as much romance as KGNE. but still good. thay say that "paradise kiss" is a good romance seire.
do anyone know if there is any FC to KGNE... im a big fan of KGNE. have every ep on dvd from japan.:smile-big

[Nekomimi]

Well there was some talk about it...But nothing really came about so I dont think it exists(Might be wrong)

I also wanted to make an addition to my reccomendation...Even though neither are as hardcore romance as KNGE there both wonderful shows...Shuffle and Canvas 2. The big selling point for me on both of these series is they actually have interesting male leads for a change keke. :wink

[Brokenmarch]

Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien was one of the best and most depressing animes if you want to see another one like it I'm not sure if there is one that great, but i like Shingetsutan Tsukihime.

[Brokenmarch]

I like the ending and think that Mizuki was the right choice and i was rooting for her too, but i feel sorry for Haruka.

[Crush!]

Dunno how many fans of this are here, but it's one of my favorite shows of the last few years. Excellent that the first volume is coming out so quickly, too.

[Prince Leon]

That's great news to hear. Though we could've done without the english name change.

[Setsuna Asuka]

It's not Funimation's fault leon:

The Japanese licensor created the English name "Rumbling Hearts" for the English speakiing territories. We are adding a sub-title "Kimi ga Nozomu Eien" to the logo and full name to avoid any confusion.

Lance Heiskell
FUNimation Guy

Anyways YAY!!

[martryn]

Sounds like a great time for everyone here to join the Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien FC.

[Nekomimi]

Well the english name is...stupid...Dont really care if the original creators came up with it or not xD.


But im glad that its finally going to be released over here and ill definatly be one of the first to buy it as a show of support for the absolute best romance anime ever. :amuse

[Chamcham Trigger]

It was a pretty good one. I'm not much of a fan of funimation's work though. I guess DBZ left a bad taste in my mouth even though FMA's VA's are kickass.

[Dannyz]

Whats wrong with just calling it The Eternity You Desire(Wish For)? Rumbling Hearts sound pretty lame to me.

Anyways, I highly doubt that funimation can do a adequate job with this title. Be it because of cut or dubbing reasons, I don't think it will have the same emotional affect on viewers.

They aren't going to make any cuts to it. And they've done plenty of quality dubbing work before.

They are still keeping the original title in the actual title. But the Japanese wanted an English appropriation.

[martryn]

The Eternity You Desire sounds like it would work just as well to me. I'm disappointed with the name change.

[TheVileOne]

Rumbling Hearts is a simple, apt title. Its easier to sell than that one.

I figured that was the situation. I wonder how long they thought on that name though. :laugh

The Eternity You Desire sounds like it would work just as well to me. I'm disappointed with the name change.

Same here. Though that's only a minor detail anyways since KGNE will still be present as a subtitle. *shrugs*

[FFLN]

Eh... while it is good... I'm not one to put myself through the torturous heartache of having to watch all of that again. That indecisive Narumi a-hole!!!:mad *sigh* Anyway... at the least, that means that they'll also eventually release Akane Maniax.:D Although Akane Maniax does pretty much suck in comparison.

Hehe, I think Narumi would've liked it better if they had just made Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien into a full-out hentai anime rather than one in which his actions actually have an effect on relationships.XD

lol I was about to post this too but it came like like a day ago anyway so I'm sure someone would've beat me to it.

Anyway I doubt it took them long to come up with "Rumbling Hearts" since it is the name of the one of the songs (I believe the name of the song at the end of eps 2)
Although I thought they might keep a direct translation of it like they did with Burst Angel, which was Bakuretsu Tenshi, at least I think that was a direct translation of it.
But then again Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien is along name and so is The Eternity You Desire, so yeah. Even though there are some long anime titles out there. Rumbling Hearts isn't bad.

My friend was like "finally, someone licensed it" since this is like his favorite series =P
I just wonder how it will do here in the states, since these types in general aren't very popular (at least not where I live since my friend runs an anime rental shop and not much shojo/drama gets checked out)

But still FUNimation of all companies, who would've thought =P

[Donkey Show]

Rumbling Hearts sounds like a lame fighting game title. XD

Although, it'll be interesting to hear this all in English.

[Ssj3_Goku]

eh good news though it was an allright romance anime.. not really specatular and i do not blame who he picked at the end it was kinda obvious in the beginning on who he liked..

I will pass on the dub one of those shows that really did not make me want to rush out and get it when it was released over here.. elfen lied on the other hand is a differant story.

though funimation does great work DBZ and FMA being their best i belive they will do a good job with this as well.

[Chamcham Trigger]

Bah I've stated my opinion on how stupid his pick was how many times already, I guess they both deserved eachother for being back stabbing bitches.

[Uchiha-Itachi648]

once again i'm reviving a dead thread here. but this series is just way too damn good for people not to see it. so if anyone wants to download it and doesn't know where.

[DKFize]

This series is pretty good for some who like the drama category..but #2 and previously #1 on animenfo.com is just ridiculous. I personally wouldn't place it top 50, but that's because the ending really, really pissed me off. I do recommend it for the people who like drama-romance stuff though.

Scroll down a little and you'll find it. There are also other animes.

[Wuuu]

This is the best anime EVA. Check it out people =D

[Setsuna Asuka]

Anyone knows when this is supposed to come out for R1 DVD?

[AestheticizeAnalog]

I just finished it and I really enjoyed it; it is in my top ten anime I have seen. There was really only one part of the show that i did not like, and that was the first half of episode 13.

AnimeNfo makes me mad with their so called "top 200". It makes me even more mad when random eletists call the high ranking shows over rated just because they are high on the list. Some of those shows shouldn't be watched by people who are just going through the list watching them because they are supposedly "good". High rank on AnimeNfo does not constiture being "overrated."

That being said, I must watch this show now.

[Finvarra]

I just finsihed watching this so I throught I would post here hehe.

I loved this anime, it covers a lot of rather unhappy emotions, but this is well worth every second of time I used up watching it. :)

For anybody that does not know, this is a rather complicated unintianly love triangle.

If you only watch the first fue Ep's your think this is a tipcial Girl loves boy high school anime.

However most of the story is 3 years on from the high school life, so what ever you do keep going dont just go ah ok after a couple of Ep's. Its anything but tipical, and has one hell of a collection emotions to it.

[ナルヒナ]

I just started watching this up to episode 3. Does it get better? Like does Suzumiya live??
Oh yeah, Would there be any more of them annoying sex scenes?

[Captain Pimp]

All I can say is that it gets pretty emotional later on...


Oh yeah, Would there be any more of them annoying sex scenes?

...maybe :ninja

[ナルヒナ]

All I can say is that it gets pretty emotional later on...



...maybe :ninjaVery emotional T_T
But there's a happy ending, right?
Everything works out fine, right?
Good ending, yeah?

11 is sad =/
My breathing went heavy then, haha =]

[greatone360]

its pretty good if you like romance

[ナルヒナ]

I love romance, But this isn't my type.
Lets just say.. It's not for the weak hearted?
If you don't like them heart breaking anime, don't watch this.

[Toffeeman]

It's one of, if not the best "romance" anime I've seen. Stick with it. :)

so when's the alternate ending OVA?
haruka route, was it?

[~Wondering Zero~]

One of my favorite anime of all time. It was short, but really great to watch. The ending killed me inside though...

so when's the alternate ending OVA?
haruka route, was it?


Yes, it was Haruka's route. I heard something about it coming out this summer? Or sometime winter...I don't really remember where I read it. No wait...It's still in production, and no release date has been set.

[Dogma]

Who cares about Haruka's route?

I was more then content with the route it took.

Mitsuki deserved it in the end considering all the time she spent in it. It was alittle sad the way Haruka got ditched like that, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to see Mitsuki get ditched in stead.

but she also have some responsibility on what happened to haruka. plus, it was too unfair to take advantage of takayuki when he's down like that. haruka deserves takayuki better.

so long as it's official(which it is) then its all cool :amuse

[~Wondering Zero~]

Unfortunately I wasn't content with the ending.

In all honesty, if Mitsuki had just told him how she felt about him, then the whole being late, and car accident thing, could have been avoided. Yes, it was just a freak accident that it ended up happening to Haruka, on Mitsuki's birthday no less, but I believe that event could have been avoided.

Haruka would not have lost three years of her life, and their friendship would have not gone through all those rocky times. IF Mitsuki had just told Takayuki how she felt about him.

Not only that, but she introduced Haruka and Takayuki to each other. Couldn't she have just let them have that date together? Oh, now it sounds like I was bashing her. Sorry if it did sound like that.

[Dogma]

but she also have some responsibility on what happened to haruka. plus, it was too unfair to take advantage of takayuki when he's down like that. haruka deserves takayuki better.

I disagree.


For one, I find it stupid that no one blamed the driver?

I mean if he wasn't driving the car, that ran into her then it's not like it wouldn't have happened in the first place.

But moreso, Haruka just got him first honestly. Mitsuki was putting others before herself and helped Haruka get the guy, even though the two clearly found some attraction in one another.

He happens to fall in love with Haruka and Mitsuki gets cast aside for awhile. Then when she gets alittle selfish and thinks about herself on her birthday, something bad happens.

So naturally she blames herself for the whole thing, just like Takayuki did too.

So for the full year after that, she takes care of him, feeling guilty for putting him like that and denying her own feelings. When she gets selfish just one more time, things turn out wonderful for her and the two start a relationship. EVen though she still gets shit from Haruka's little sister and all that "Haruka" related jazz.

So one goes through mental turmoil, puts others in front of herself, and hides her poor feelings until she can't take it anymore. Even set the two up despite how she felt.

The other one fell in love with him, and got hit by a car.

To say that she deserves him more then her, because of some freak accident that wasn't really anyones fault is unfair.

Mitsuki worked hard, and got the guy.

Haruka, didn't do half as much, because of the accident. But is that really a viable excuse?

I for one don't think so. :oh

[~Wondering Zero~]

I disagree.

All good points, and I hate to admit it.

Yes. I blame the driver, and hope he died a painful death. But once again, the mental turmoil could have been avoided if she had told him how she felt.

Takayuki blamed himself, and so did Mitsuki for what happened to Haruka. In more ways then one they knew how they both felt. I give her points for taking care of Takayuki when she needed someone, hell, I say if she hadn't come along he would have killed himself.

She took shit from Akane, because Akane (If you saw Akane Manix) also loved Takayuki. I'm sure she felt betrayed in more ways then one, when she saw her sleeping with Takayuki. Oh wait...Akane isn't important here, even if she did cause trouble to Takayuki and Mitsuki.

Back to the topic, she did work hard and got the guy. The accident was just that, a freak accident. No, it's not an excuse, and I know that. But it caused her to go into a coma for three years. Which caused her to keep from helping Takayuki when he needed it most.

mitsuki
-wouldnt even know takayuki, if not for haruka asking her to.
-she hid her feelings for takayuki, but is obviously into him.
-wasnt able to convey her feelings until very late(when takayuki was still confused)
-took advantage of takayuki.
-betrayed haruka's trust.

haruka
-was in love w/ takayuki first.
-an idiot for using mitsuki.
-was out of the game early on. :cry
-really, she's the one who didnt get the chance to improve her relationship.
-takayuki was/is in love with her.
-always saw mitsuki as a friend.

bad person=mitsuki

haruka is the one who didnt get a chance at takayuki, so having her own route is great. and the way i see it, the story only went to mitsuki's favor simply because of the accident. like wondering zero said, it could have been avoided if mitsuki was honest to both takayuki and haruka. but i also agree that she did that for haruka. but it is also why i think it was really unfair of her to take takayuki while haruka was out. she's was a good friend to her at first and then betray her? mitsuki is the one w/ more mistakes, is what im saying. and haruka deserves her chance, and if she did have that, i think it'll be her and takayuki together in the end.

Damn... and just when I thought we'd all gotten on the same page about the ending. :amazed



I'm not against Haruka having her own route, so I wouldn't flame it.

But I don't see the point behind it.

I like how you feel sympathetic for Haruka without thinking of Mitsuki and Takayuki at all.

It only went that way because of the accident, that's very much true. But considering that you can't rewrite the accident from ever happening you have to use what happened and go from there.

Mitsuiki didn't betray her trust,if you ask me honestly.

Why should both she and Takayuki have to wait for someone who could never awake from their coma to wake up? Why should they deny themselves happiness because of an accident?

I know I couldn't, because I can mope and dope, and slope all I want. But if faced with the same situation, life is still going to go on.

Haruka didn't do anything for Takayuki. She didn't have a chance too.

They fell in love, had sex, and then she got injured.

Mitsuki did so much more then that, because of the accident. She got the chance. But just because the accident happened, should that erase everything she did? Does it make it any less important?

Nope.

I don't blame her for not being able to speak how she felt for him, because he couldn't really do the same. They're both not that strong of people inside, so what they did seemed perfect.

Had she spoken how she felt about Takayuki?

People would have just called her a bitch, and she'd lose a couple of friends in the process.

So, was it wrong for her to get him when she did?

No. The man was distraught, and she was just the right medicine for it. She realized that Haruka may never wake up, and instead of making sacrifices and waiting idly for her to do so. Took a chance, and tried to proceed for both their happiness.

I don't blame anyone for feeling sorry for Haruka, but to say that she should get him just because she was the victim of some freak accident shows the inability to accept that things like this are possible.

Haruka was the victim, but in hindsight it doesn't mean she did anything to deserve everything else.

She lost some friends even when she helped Takayuki. One way or another she was bound to lose some of her friends.

I agree that it wasn't wrong for what she did. Yes, time moves on. Call me a romantic, but I would still move on with my life, and wait for Haruka. If she doesn't wake up, well, I guess I was a fool for waiting, right?

If Haruka was strong enough to confess her love to Takayuki, then why not Mitsuki? If you remember correctly she was so shy she couldn't even look at Takayuki without turning red. Yes, she would lose some friends as stated before, but she lost some anyways.

Haruka was the victim, and because of that she couldn't do anything to get anything else.

[Dogma]

The victim of a murder doesn't get their life back at the end of the trial, y'know. :huh

~Deep down Haruka is a stronger person then Mitsuki. They made it seem like she wasn't, but they made it clear later on.

Not sure what points else to adress, seeing as that seemed more like an agreeing statement then an argumentative one.

[~Wondering Zero~]

Agreeing statement in some points, and disagreeing in others. Either way, I found that discussion to be "enlightening" to say the least.

[Arilou]

In all honesty, if Mitsuki had just told him how she felt about him, then the whole being late, and car accident thing, could have been avoided. Yes, it was just a freak accident that it ended up happening to Haruka, on Mitsuki's birthday no less, but I believe that event could have been avoided.

Well, everything can be avoided, but... *moral philosophy rant*
The accident might have been a *consequence* of Haruka's actions, but she is not *responsible* for it. Even strict consequentialists usually draw the line for actions that cannot possible be foreseen (to take a similar example, if you invite a man into your house and he is struck by lightning while there it is a consequence of your action... But you are not responsible)

The point is that no human being has perfect knowledge: Taking your extremely consequentialist viewpoint would make Genghis Khan responsible for everything that some 1/3 of the euroasian population that has some of his gense did.

If Haruka was strong enough to confess her love to Takayuki, then why not Mitsuki?

Because Mitsuki and Takayuki were friends. Pals. Buddies. All Haruka had to lose was some embarrassment and the regard of a stranger. Mitsuki stood to lose one of her friends, quite possibly two, as Haruka was her friend too.

Now, in the end she lost them anyway, but it is important that *she could not have known this*. There is no way she could (at the beginning of the series) predict what was going to happen. No chance at all.

That said, what I like about the series...
Is precisely the sense of malleability and chance. None of the possible pairings in the series were star-crossed lovers meant for each other. They were just people who fate threw curveball after curveball, who desperately tries to eke some happiness out of a world that seems determined to screw them over every way possible. The very fact that it, at heart, is a ver unromantic story.

Not even taking into account the weirder stuff from the game, it could have gone so many ways. As mentioned, Mitsuki might have gathered her nerves up first, and they'd have been a couple right then and there. (Takayuki was obviously into *her* from the very beginning, too) or he and Haruka could have kept dating and (without the accident) become a couple and so on (or either of these could have broken up and gone off to different people, perhaps remembering each other as "that guy/girl i dated in high-school...")

Or he could have stayed celibate waiting for Haruka to wake up... Which may or may not have happened... The point is that at every point are they making decisions from what information they have: Not always *good* decisions, often good ones that gets thrown into spin by the hand of Fate. And sometimes decisions that are not good but simply human.

I think you are somewhat overestimating how much Takayuki loved Haruka. He obviously wasn't that into her (although it might have developed into something deeper, given time) Of course he was, at the same time feeling guilty for spending so much time with his friend, Mitsuki (whom he obviously had a crush on as well) what made him break down over the accident was not, I think, so much that he loved Haruka but his guilt.

That's not to say that he loved *Mitsuki* in that way either. He was what, 15 years old at the time? The genuine love he held for Mitsuki was something that grew out of their shared life.

[~Wondering Zero~]

Hm...Even more good points. :modsmack I guess I'm KO'd from this discussion.

[Arilou]

Heh, I'm so going to try that out. Let's see if those 5 years of german class paid off....

[Arilou]

Checked out the german dub. It's pretty decent, although german is a pretty "even" language (not much tonal variation) so it kind of loses a bit of the differentiation in voices.

(I don't think it's possible to speak german in the high-pitched way Haruka speaks japanese for instance)
