(he was one of my favorite characters -_-) What kind of stuff was cut out? I was also curious if the author of the manga had any hand in the creation of the manga as of yet I have found virtually no information about this anime. So if anyone could bring me up to speed with that stuff... thanks!

All I can say is that Teratani is way cool... he helps Ichitaka out in every way possible, rescues damsels in distress, and plays a large role in getting the main couple together.

Man, I'd want a friend like him. By far the most useful and capable character in the series.

martino · 2006-07-28, 06:45

He is quite a cool guy, but at times even he can be a bit of an idiot.

rarukyu · 2006-09-12, 21:47

i wonder if the final episode is being subbed. lol

Potatochobit · 2006-09-12, 21:59

well, for me i think this show is overrated.

yes the animation is nice, yes the girls are pretty. but the most important part, the story, is pretty tacky. hey, lets all go rape girls using knives and no one will know who we are, because we were not just expelled from school last week and the police dont know where we live and dont know our mother's names.
reminds me too much of that failure ichigo 100%.
all you diehard fans may now flame on.
but the bonus footage, the short episodes are great. i like those alot.
yeah, those girls are indeed pretty hot.

No need to flame, but... that's what sticks out in the entire story of I"s Pure?

I"s is what it is - very much a shounen romance, and it doesn't try to be much else. I enjoyed the manga for what it is, and I"s Pure managed to be a relatively faithful adaption given the time restrictions. If you despise the genre, through, then you'll certainly despise this story. I for one didn't hate any of it, silliness and all.

EmptySoul · 2006-09-13, 01:55

I"S has a really good story. It really is a matter of taste but even if it is a shounen romance, it's still really good. There were so many good elements in it, the "bad guy" was sorta over rated, but the story itself is awesome. The relationship between Iori and Ichitaka and also between the other girls, it just gets more and more interesting. I for one am very happy to have had the privilidge of seeing this show. I only wish it was longer... But anyway, just wanted to let you guys know I"S will be coming soon. Got a little delayed on the last ep, but it's at the final steps now, so it'll be out sometime very soon. *gonna stab people until its done XD* Anyway... just wanted to post my thoughts. ^_^

Potatochobit · 2006-09-13, 02:37

well, im not saying the show is bad, its a fine show, but it has many absurd situations. the other event that immediately pops into my mind is when he told her the girls house burned down and said lets not worry about it since this is our first date to go have some fun or something.

the manga fills in all the huge time gaps right? i think i'll pick some of them up. i want to pick up around where episode 4 left off. that should be around book 5? that girl he met at the beach is going to come visit him at his house and get wet in the rain like in the bonus right?

Woot that's good to hear. Looking forward to it.

And yeah just enjoy what's this manga/anime is about. Even if it's feel with several clitches it's still very enjoyable. What I like the most about the manga is that you get to hear his thoughs and frustrations about wanting to confess but is afraid so of getting turn down. Or the girl you like feels like she's out of your league. I went through the same thing in middle and High School and I'm sure others did also.

martino · 2006-09-15, 09:28

Damn! I even forgot I was watching this...

Don't we all go through the same thing, when we think that the girl is out of our league...

Vexx · 2006-09-15, 10:08

Potato and I sometimes don't agree ... but the absurd elements of this melodrama really damage the "suspension of disbelief" ... it might have easier to tolerate if the antagonist had been a tentacle alien rather than a knife wielding rapist who seems to be off the crime radar. The core parts of the story actually "feel" pretty realistic --- the guy with raging internal contradictions fueled by hormones versus mature thought. The girls actually sort of seem realistic in personality and motivation rather than surreal fantasy personalities. The animation art is certainly quite a tribute to the manga art.

None of the events *couldn't* have happened (I read a lot of japanese "local news" and the papers tend to relish odd crimes though the police have been guilty until recently of turning a blind eye to sex crimes in which no one is killed)... but it is really tough to believe some of the events don't have repurcussions unless all the characters are yakuza who wouldn't report such things to the police.... and none of these characters are.

The story just doesn't need those somewhat absurd plot points to be compelling relationship melodrama.

Last I heard, it was being encoded. Hopefully it will be out soon.

navi432001 · 2006-09-16, 02:54

I just seen the ending it was nice.

Spoiler:

On another note anyone know of a I''s series pending? or another OVA?

Jerseykid · 2006-09-16, 19:06

Why does this only have to be 6 episodes

This may be part of the problem - I can see how if all you've seen is I''s Pure how that would have been your initial impression. Not that I'm the biggest lover of I''s around (like relentlessflame, I enjoy it, but it is what it is), but in the manga those events happen exactly like they do in the anime - but they happen across 15 volumes. When they're stretched out like that, a lot of them aren't really as incredulous as they seem. The "villain" appears in only the first couple of volumes, and then again at the very end when you find out he's developed almost a stalker-ish attitude to Iori. In the anime his importance is somewhat overrated - he's just a small part of the story in the manga.
I thought the sixth episode did a good job of capturing the feeling of the last volume or so of the manga. But in the manga

Potatochobit · 2006-09-17, 00:59

is there going to be a bonus episode 6? i would really like a bonus episode 6

why is she shaking his hand at the end..

Quajafrie · 2006-09-17, 01:22

Am I the only one who thinks the show ended in a quite unsatisfying way?

DrewGSR · 2006-09-17, 02:23

Time to rewatch From I ' 's. Since its a side story that came out few years ago. Will prolly make more sense now taht we watch the OVAs.

Hmmm, i did enjoy the OVAs but I did feel the ending with happened with Seto and how he was "saved" was like WAY over dramatic. I was like WTF. Anyways overall i enjoyed it.

Theirs no bonus, all the DVDs had bonuses included with the OVA but the last (6th OVA) didn't have any bonus included. So it would be safe to say their isn't one.

martino · 2006-09-17, 06:12

From I``s is very dissapointing. It barely has a story...

The end was a bit over dramatic, and it felt kinda fast. I mean he was in a coma just for a few hours I guess. That's not enough to make some kind of emotional effect on the viewer, take Lamune for example. It was very nice though.

Though I completely hated the hand shake right at the end, I was expecting a kiss atleast lol and come on.. A phone call? she could of come to the hospital in person. Anyways really good OVA I liked episode 5 the best though. I wished they would make I''s Series and stop releasing only OVAs its popular enough. On another note anyone know of a I''s series pending? or another OVA? __________________ Whats wrong with piracy?
