The Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien FC

[martryn]

Just finished it. Watched it in two sittings, with the break between the sittings an eight hour nap. There are only 14 episodes, and about half of them made me cry my eyes out. Episode 11 was really hard to see end, and of course the last episode was a tear jerker.

I think I want to try to write a movie script based on the anime. It'd be one of the saddest movies ever I think. :cry

[Moritsune]

hmm, sounds interesting, and some of the title looks German, any relation?

[martryn]

hmm, sounds interesting, and some of the title looks German, any relation?

Nope. Its about a guy whose girlfriend gets hit by a car and goes into a coma. She's like that for three years, and when she wakes up, the guy is now dating her best friend. He now must decide what to do about having two girls in love with him.

[Moritsune]

ah, that's cool, must dl it when i can

[martryn]

What the hell does the title mean? Something about desiring someone for eternity or something?

[Moritsune]

i'm the wrong person to ask on that one, i can get close while translating German, but Japanese is another story

[Kira Yamato]

I loved this series. It was so dramatic and you knew the ending was going to be bittersweet after after watching the 2nd episode.

The Eternity You Desire

Joinage please.

[Moritsune]

nice info you got there Balerion

[chauronity]

Joining too, definately.

[martryn]

Joinage please.

Excellent. And knowing the title now just makes the memories of the series all the harder to stomach. I'm going to start crying again, damn it!

[Oskar von Reuental]

If you want the OST, just let me know.

[martryn]

If you want the OST, just let me know.

It came with the series I DLed, along with the soundtrack to the game, a file full of fanart, and the opening and closing.

[Oskar von Reuental]

Dammit, I knew I should've looked around for other torrents. :shakefist

Where'd you get yours from?

[Chamcham Trigger]

Joinage please. I loved that ending theme song. It was just beautiful.
@Overlord: I would appreciate the OST

[Prince Leon]

Definitely joinage here. Awesome, awesome series. Don't remember any another anime making me cry so much. (can I get co-ownage too? :P)

[Oskar von Reuental]

Welcome P_L! :knk

[Prince Leon]

Welcome P_L! :knk

Thanks. ^^

About time this masterpiece gained it's own FC. Wasn't aware that none existed before martryn created it.

[Oskar von Reuental]

It seems a fair number of people knew about the series, but there wasn't any discussion or mention of it (at least none that I noticed or remember).

*searches for threads*

-edit- I found a thread, but it died pretty quickly.

[martryn]

Where'd you get yours from?

Torrentspy I think. Whatever was linked to me in the Divisions thread. It had some .rar files in it with all the stuff.

Joinage please. I loved that ending theme song. It was just beautiful.

Awesome, and I agree. The soundtrack is definately my favorite anime soundtrack so far. Except Beck, but that's sorta a given.

Definitely joinage here. Awesome, awesome series. Don't remember any another anime making me cry so much.

I agree. I cried in probably half of the episodes, and probably would have cried in the other half if it wasn't ruined by the chicks in the restraunt. And you can have co-owner if you want.

Yeah, I searched first, didn't find a FC, but found like one or two threads discussing the series, but neither were as popular as this thread here already is. Plus, there were like four or five threads talking about the most depressing anime series, ha ha ha.

If someone makes a FC banner, not only will I sport it, but I'll also rep that person.

[Prince Leon]

Yeah. The character profiles were well done as well.

And yeah, Daikuuji and Mayu were definitely the comedic relief throughout the series. They probably didn't want us to kill ourselves from crying so much. :laugh

Donkey Show talked about the series once. I basically said the same stuff as before about it, plus it wasn't in an official fc. I wonder if that's the same one you found.
@Martyr: Thanks for the welcome, and yeah Beck had an awesome ost.

[Oskar von Reuental]

Torrentspy I think. Whatever was linked to me in the Divisions thread. It had some .rar files in it with all the stuff.

Man, I think I was the one that linked you to that stuff. :arg Oh well.

Personally, I also wish the waitresses weren't there.

-edit- Cham, I found a few more threads (http://forums.narutofan.com/search.php?searchid=940273) Most of them have the same content. XD

[BlueCheese]

I'd like to join, it's the best anime of it's genre definately.

[Lingz]

Same as blue, I'd join, definitely a good series.

[BlueCheese]

Wanna know when this is gonna be released in America, really want this series on DVD.

[martryn]

Welcome, two people with a butt load of posts I've never heard of before. I'll add you to the member's list.

[BlueCheese]

That's probably cos were both from the big Ichigo 100% discussion thread in the manga section.

[Lingz]

Haha :amuse

Quite amusing I find. Is there a banner to the FC yet?

[BlueCheese]

Nope why don't you make one

[Lingz]

Hmmm, okay then. I'll give it a go.

[martryn]

Hmmm, okay then. I'll give it a go.

Sweet, there's rep in it for you if you do.

[Lingz]

Oh, not bothered about rep, I do it for fun XD

Do we want Haruka or Mitsuki in it?

[BlueCheese]

Isn't it Mizuki? Personally I prefer Haruka. That's who I wanted him to be with, but her parents were so harsh on him when she was in a coma.

[martryn]

Oh, not bothered about rep, I do it for fun XD

Do we want Haruka or Mitsuki in it?

I prefer Mitsuki, personally, since I can relate to her more, and I think she is better developed.

[Lingz]

Hmmm, yeah, it's Mizuki. It's been like over a year or since I watched it :P

I prefer Mizuki, although some of her actions were abit selfish IMO.

Awesome banner Lingz. :amazed

A Mitsuki one would be awesome. :amuse

[martryn]

Great banner, but I'm going to wait for the Mitsuki one. And I think you spell it Mitsuki, don't you?

[BlueCheese]

No I'm pretty sure it's Mizuki although I'm terrible with names and watched it ages ago.

[Setsuna Asuka]

No love for Akane Leon?

I'm shocked j/k^_^

[martryn]

No I'm pretty sure it's Mizuki although I'm terrible with names and watched it ages ago.

Aren't they pronounced the same way? Or at least close enough to make distinguishing between them nigh impossible?

[BlueCheese]

Similar but not the same. Tsu as in tsunami, zu sounds like a shortened version of zoo.

[Prince Leon]

No love for Akane Leon?

I'm shocked j/k^_^

Oh! Akane has always been adorable to me. One of her would be awesome as well. :laugh

As for Mitsuki/Mizuki, it's basically pronounced in a similar fashion. The subs I watched (Lunar's) used Mitsuki though.

[Lingz]

Yeah, it happens alot of time with animes where names are spelt differently from different fansub groups.

They're all great man. Good work. smile-big

[jkingler]

A question to any of you who have watched both KGNE and Saikano: Is this show more sad than Saikano is?

If it is, I am not sure my heart could take it. :arg

[BlueCheese]

Hmmmm yeah but different kind of sad I think.

[Lingz]

I've the Saikano and KGNE.

IMO, I think KGNE was more sad. I mean, Saikano was very depressing indeed, but it got abit dull to watch where as KGNE has a very interesting plot, and is very close to real life situation.

[jkingler]

Holy shit! More sad?! I think I am going to need some Kleenex and maybe some counseling after I watch this. :scry

[BlueCheese]

Well I think it would be personal opinion as to which is sadder. It's just that KGNE is a sadness that people can believe better, so perhaps it hits them harder than Saikano does.

[Lingz]

Yeah, I agree.

Aswel as I think that KGNE is just an overall, better anime.

[Prince Leon]

Holy shit! More sad?! I think I am going to need a lot of Kleenex and maybe some counseling after I watch this. :scry

That's more like it. :laugh

[BlueCheese]

Oh yeah I agree it is better but I still like Saikano, I have it on DVD as you know.

[jkingler]

Oh my god. I am so toast. And yet I DL the anime anyways...

*glutton for good punishment*

[BlueCheese]

What's wrong with depressing anime? I love it!

[Lingz]

Yeah, depressing animes are good, but only if they have a decent enough plot to drive to emotions over well.

[jkingler]

Man, I am on episode 2, and I am already contemplating alcohol...

This reminds me a lot of Kanon, which is also really good, if you can get past the ginormous eyes which are mandatory for each and every female character XD

It is also very depressing. It is also very good.

[Lingz]

Haha, yeah. It already gets really depressing from episode 2 onwards, definitely keep watching. Another factor I like about the anime is the music, very well done.

[jkingler]

OK...I'll just be chugging along, then.

*starts episode 3*

[BlueCheese]

Yeah keep watching. Definately very good.

[jkingler]

OK. I just finished episode 8. Takayuki has no common sense, and his actions seriously pissed me off. :rant

[Prince Leon]

^What's your tear-count so far? :laugh

[mr_yenz]

Can I join? Even though I've only watched the first episode, I love it. :amuse

[Prince Leon]

^Welcome to the FC I'll say. :P

[mr_yenz]

^Welcome to the FC I'll say. :PThanks! :glomp

[jkingler]

I just finished episode 12. Surprisingly, I've not cried once so far. I promise, I am not callous. I am very pissed and sad about everything that is going on--just nothing has made me cry...yet.

[BlueCheese]

I can understand that, I mostly get teary eyed rather than crying when I watch this kinda stuff.

[jkingler]

NO, but seriously, I was bawling like a little baby after Saikano. XD

I guess the heavy hitting scenes haven't come yet...

*Starts ep 13*

[ninamori]

I watched this show a while ago. It wasn't that sad to me because I really disliked the girl that went into the coma. I found it sad (how sad, I don't remember), but hardly anything to cry about. xD

...And this post is pointless! Because I'm not joining. I don't remember much about the series anyway. XD

[BlueCheese]

Well like I said before it is personal opinion as to whether this or Saikano is sadder. Personally I found this sadder.

[Lingz]

Welcome new members, owners going to add ya when he returns.. :knk

[jkingler]

I finished this series a while back. I must say, I actually didn't cry at all during that last episode. I thought it was well done, and that that was probably the happiest way it could have ended.

Saikano > KGNE in the "Oh, that's so sad I'm going to die" department.

[Lingz]

Really? Not imo but fair enough.

Which series you like more overall?

[BlueCheese]

Like I said before it's personal opinion. I think there both pretty damn sad.

[Setsuna Asuka]

Guess what guys...the impossible happened:

Funimation news from Katsucon

New license and release schedule


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Funimation announced today that they have acquired the license to Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. The series will be released in North America as Rumbling Hearts. Volume 1 will be released in October 2006.

Finally!!!:)

[martryn]

Funimation announced today that they have acquired the license to Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. The series will be released in North America as Rumbling Hearts. Volume 1 will be released in October 2006.

Why didn't they just keep the Japanese title, or the translated title?

[Setsuna Asuka]

Read this:

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!!

[BlueCheese]

That's awesome news, been waiting for this for so long

[Lingz]

Rumbling Hearts is actually the name for the Opening theme song of KGNE, maybe they just ripped the OP's name instead of using Kimi ga Nozomu Eien which would obviously cause confusion.

[BlueCheese]

Besides if it will say Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien as well there is no problem.

[Lingz]

There is as stated before, it will be too hard for the americans to even pronounce the name itself, i.e;

Kenshin > Samurai X

It's alot easier for them if it was changed into an english name.

This might not always be the case (such as Naruto) as some japaneses can be easier to pronounced than others. Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien is not an easy name to pronounce.

[nalex43]

hello everybody. just finished the series any am recovering from emotional breakdown. i can't believe they hit me with that s**t as early as episode 2. i knew it was gonna be depressing but damn that was unprecedented for me. sniff. i think i'll go wallow in self-pity for a while

[Lingz]

Haha, blue told me about you, so you enjoyed the series then? XD

[BlueCheese]

Haha yeah nalex, even if you know it's depressing you can't be prepared for what hits you.

[nalex43]

i know i was like "i hate this!" and would try to close my eyes but then i was like "but i need to know what happens next" i felt really crappy afterwards even though i enjoyed it in a masochistic way. i guess that's the power of a very good anime series huh?

[BlueCheese]

Lol well it seems to have sent you through a range of emotions. I think it shows it's good by how much it affected you.

[nalex43]

amen to that. definitely the best of the sad romance genre though i'm pretty sure that it's only one of the two or three i've seen. still i'll bet that there aren't many like this series. i had the same feeling when watching fma though not as bad.

[BlueCheese]

Which other sad romance series have you seen?

[nalex43]

hmmm let me see...what the heck!? i guess none of the others qualify as sad. crap. i guess i was in lala land or something my bad. well i guess samurai x or whatever you wanna call it sort of counts. damn that was depressing too. i guess it's a tie between the two then

[Prince Leon]

This series totally tried to mess me up when I watched it. Being able to do that to me is quite a feat. ^^

[nalex43]

yup. but the gaiden was kinda... well, stupid. they coulda done something way better for akane.

[Prince Leon]

^I intended to watch that but never got around to doing so.

[BlueCheese]

I didn't watch it, everyone tells me it's awful.

[nalex43]

i wouldn't bother with it. it completely missed the mark in my opinion and it destroyed the atmosphere created by the original series.

[Lingz]

I didnt watch it aswel, but it's obvious that it won't match up to KGNE standard, someone even told me it's a comedy type show o.O

[nalex43]

yeah it had this goofy looking guy that was always daydreaming about gundams or whatever and saving akane from evil robots. it was stupid of me to lay eyes on it.

[BlueCheese]

Evil robots? wtf? Not by the same people that did Ichigo anime was it?

[Prince Leon]

Evil robots? What the hell? :laugh

[Lingz]

Oh hell no, there can't be any production team worst than the production team for ichigo anime :3

[nalex43]

no idea. i'll explain robots. the main character was like a mecha freak and would always go off on stupid tangents about piloting one of them to save akane and fight the evil mecha lord or something. basically failed comedy about a guy's wandering imagination. needless to say i was stupefied (is that how you spell it?)

[BlueCheese]

Lol it does sound on par with the Ichigo anime.

[nalex43]

yeah it's definitely on par with that invading alien strawberry panties episode. sooooooo stupid!

[Mugiwara]

I would like to join!
AND i have a question.. I somewhere read something about this series related to a game... What game?

[BlueCheese]

It comes from a Renai game, I don't really know more than that.

[Mugiwara]

It comes from a Renai game, I don't really know more than that.

Sorry for me being stupid.. but whats "Renai"?

[BlueCheese]

Well Renai literally means romance. From wikipedia

Renai game is Japanese for romantic game. In the Japanese language (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_language), a romantic game is a genre of adventure video games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game) focusing on romantic interactions with anime (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime)-style characters, often referred to as dating sims (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dating_sim) or visual novels (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_novel) in the West. In English usage, the term "ren'ai game" can refer to these Japanese games or fan games produced by English speakers.

In this case well lets just say it contains hentai elements I think.

[Gene]

*joinage*

Finally finished up the series today. It was a great anime.

[BlueCheese]

Indeed it is, best romance series there is

[martryn]

*sniff* I'm so sorry I neglected you guys for so long. Please come back!

[Prince Leon]

I think a whole bunch of 'em will be back when the time for Haruka's route comes along. :D

[BlueCheese]

Indeed, although I wonder if it will be as good.
