weeeeee happy ending w00t!!glad that that anime ended with me hating no one in it. even that docter...dont even remember his name though :P

LilEva · 2006-03-07, 02:19

Just finished watching the last episode. Good series. The only part that made me go eh, was when the nurse's friend was trying to seduce Yuichi. I was like, geez, just when I thought an anime could go without some gratuitous fanservice. But it was good to watch an anime about normal people and their emotions in a real environment.

Potatochobit · 2006-03-07, 04:05

yeah, but she was hot. i would not have minded more close ups of her leaning over towards the screen....

but your right, it went abit too far to fit in with the overall theme of the show. reminds me of what happened with the first episode of REC. could have been avoided.

ultrataro · 2006-03-07, 19:57

Watch the end! My goodness, I can't imagine watching all the way to the last one & NOT watching it. It wraps things up. I agree that much of the plot devices were forced, I think partially because they had to try & cram things into the short time period, and yet I enjoyed this show. The attempted seduction I think was important to show yuuichis conflicted state of mind. I know if I was feeling like that and a hot woman started coming onto me heavily like that, I'd have a hard time thinking straight and knowing what to do. Yes, it might have been a another plot device a bit overdone, but I'm not complaining.

DrewGSR · 2006-03-08, 16:06

Short and sweet series. I definately enjoyed it

Sinestra · 2006-03-08, 16:44

Loved the series it was one of my favorites despite being only 6 episodes. The story and theme i thought were wonderful. It easy to think that series wants you to focus on death but thats not it it wants you to focus on life and living it no matter how much time you have left. Rika was so adorable and the voice actor did a great job portraying her feelings. I thought ending was perfect execpt that i would have liked to see them out side of the hospital having a normal day together. The ending is happy but if you really think about what the doctor was saying Yuuichi you can tell that eventually Rika will die and at a young age. but the two will have time with one another and it obvious they are going to get married but make the most of what you got. I just thouht it was really touching i grabs you from the right spot the opening and ending themes are just wonderful and i listen to them like everyday on my ipod. Very good series even though it seemed rushed at times. God im a sucker for this romantic, dramtic, potential tradgedy shit.

Hmm anyone knows where can i find some hanbun no tsuki noboru sora wallpapers?

Buwoy · 2006-03-14, 02:33

Same problem. Tried searching on the net but can't find any. The stills on the ending credits would make nice ones I think

fict_ticious · 2006-03-14, 10:57

^Yep. The anime doesn't have an entry on Minitokyo either. It would if I could figure out how it worked...
Well, its fairly recent (aboot a month or so) so we might have to wait... or make our own.

Personally, I like the series because it went a little further. There's some sort of taboo in NA culture that seems to restrict media/dialogue about some of the themes in this anime (hence, why I like Shinigami no Ballad as well), and it's nice break from war/dystopic futures/samurai/ninja/organized crime motifs I've been into recently. I enjoyed just watching the characters have fun despite their circumstances, and the subtle (well, not really) comedy provided by the one and only Zebra Mask (mexican wrestling rules!). Of course, dramatic elements were excellent too, but many have already commented on that, and I'm not smart enough to give anymore valuable input.

Spoiler:

Ohhh, question, I don't have the anime on hand, but can someone list the author/works that Rika enjoyed reading?

-- Mikan ("Oranges"), and other stories by AKUTAGAWA Ryunosuke (Japanese, early 20th century)
-- Night on the Galactic Railroad, by MIYAZAWA Kenji (Japanese, book written in the early 20th century; anime made in the 1980s)
-- Les Thibault ("The Thibaults"), by Roger Martin du Gard (French, early 20th century)

The voice actor is Takahashi Mikako, who was Ayu in Honey and Clover and is Tomoko in Canvas2 (she's really good in ep22). I think she's fabulous. Click the link for a photo, info, and links to other sites, including her long-running radio show. She's a smart and amusing host.

Shiroth · 2006-03-15, 08:13

Well, the OST's amazing - just what i expected - need a full on go listen, but some magical piano pieces. ^^

I don't think I saw any flaw in the plot itself

. The background sound and pace of the plot is quite matching, every episodes have different background sounds.

Could you clarify why do you think that the plot devices were being forced ?
Compare to Iriya no Soya, this anime was far better in individual episodes , I'm not saying Iriya no Soya is lame, but compare to Hantsuki ,not every episodes are enjoyable because the character development in Iriyano Soya is quite slow and make some viewers dropped the series in a first few episodes.Except one viallian who was trying to sleep with the main character of the show , Hantsuki has no flaw in character development as well.

fict_ticious · 2006-03-15, 14:31

I concur. The OST's what I expected it to be. Guess I should add that to my order of the single.

Shiroth · 2006-03-15, 14:57

I like how the OST mixes the Drama/vocal parts, & TV Size OP & ED. Its good stuff.

Just what i expected from Mitsumune, after he's amazing work on the two Negima OST's, he goes and does another beautiful OST. <3

Buwoy · 2006-03-16, 00:54

Does anyone have the lyrics and/or translation of Kioku no Kakera?

Listening to the drama tracks makes me wish i could understand japanese

fict_ticious · 2006-03-16, 13:39

^ You and me both. It may take a while for anyone to pick up. I'll keep a look out too, though.

Ilpalazzo-sama · 2006-03-16, 13:41

I can try transliterating the song, however I can not translate....

Buwoy · 2006-03-16, 22:43

Transliterating would allow me to sing along =) And maybe someone would be nice enough to translate after... or i could probably get a friend to do it for me.

Ilpalazzo-sama · 2006-03-17, 13:46

Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora ED song - Kioku no Kakera

Okay, I never thought this would be this hard, but since I had way too much free time in my hands, I did it :P

The first part (around 1:30, the TV intro part) was actually easy, a copy-paste from KuroNeko's karaoke (and corrected a small bug), credits goes to them for this. Now, the rest of the stuff...oh, teh horror. Writing down a line in romaji, the rewrite it in kana/kanji, constantly comparing with the CD cover which has the lyrics but i could not do too much with it since i know around 5 kanjis, a few katakanas and around the half of the hiraganas. The result is 99% identical with the lyrics on the CD cover (could not do one or two kanjis...). Translation (KuroNeko again, credits goes to them) included for the first part.

Now, let's sing.

ねえ　指先であなたを感じて
Nee... yubisaki de anata wo kanjite
ねえ　あなたと見ていたこの景色
Nee... anata to miteita kono keshiki
伝わる　優しさに身をゆだねて
Tsutawaru yasashisa ni mi wo yuda nete
永遠など無い　わかっていたつもりだよ
Eien nado nai wakatte ita tsumori dayo

Hey, I feel you with the tips of my fingers.
Hey, this scenery I've been seeing with you.
I trust myself to your gentleness.
I knew that there was no eternity.

名前を呼ぶあなたの声を
Namae wo yobu anata no koe wo
胸の奥に　しまっておくから
Mune no oku ni shimatte oku kara
開かれた　扉の向こう側で
Hirakareta tobira no mukougawade
こぼれぬように　消えないように
Ko borenu youni kienai youni

I will keep your calling deep in my heart.
On the other side of the open door.
Not to spil or erase.

--END OF TV OUTRO-- (song continues)

ねえ　あの夜に　途切れた　言事他を　　　
Nee... anoyoruni tokireta kototawo　
ねえ　その先を　知りたくて来たよ
Nee... sonosakiwo shiritakutekitayo
たとえ　変わらない　明日でも
tatoe... kawaranai ashitademo
信じることで　詩かに歩きはじめた　
Shinjiru kotode shitsukani aruki hajimeta

あなたへと　輪れ出したもの
anata hoto　wa(fu*)redashitamono
この時に　留めておきたいから
konotokini　todometeokitaikara
消えて　ゆくことの無いように
kiete yukukotononai youni
次のぺージに　そっと記すから
tsuginopeezini sootoshirusukara
あかない　世界で　みつけた記僕のかけら
akanai sekaide　mitsuketa kibokuno kakera
それは　あなたの肩ぼしに　見えた　景色　
sore wa anata no kataboshini　mieta　geshiki

名前を呼ぶ　あなたの声を
Namae wo yobu anata no koe wo
最この夜にしまっていくから
Saikono yoruni shimatte iku kara
開かれた　扉の向こう側で
Hirakareta tobira no mukougawade
こぼれぬように　消えないように
Ko borenu youni kienai youni

*: In the song, there is a "fu", but it can not be found in the lyrics on the CD cover....

P.S: Feel free to correct the mistakes :P

Spoiler: Perhaps the best line in the series was from Akiko, in the conversation with Natsume: Natsume - What about those of us left behind? Akiko - Endure it. Natsume - Easy for you to say. Akiko - Then what is more important to you? Akiko - Your happiness or your loved one? <=Makes ya think.
