Touch

[Ares]

Okay, I know it's a 101 episode series, and there is 5(??) movies out right now, with the latter two being anniversary-type movies.. My question is, where exactly does these movies fall in the Touch timeline? Do I need to watch the whole 101 tv episode series before i watch the movies, or do they fall within the storyline somewhere? If so can someone give me an episode count as to where they belong (Without spoilers of course...lol)

It's been a while since I saw the movies, but as far as I can remember, the first three movies were just recaps of the TV eps. The first movie I think recaps the first 20 or so eps, etc., etc. Sorry I can't provide more info, it's been a while.

With the exception of the recap movies mentioned in the post above mine, the other two movies happen after the end of the television series.

Watch them afterwards. ^^

To watch movie 1, you should at least watch last episode 30-35. To watch the movie 2 & 3, you will need to watch much further.

Thanks for the info everyone, I'll hold off on watching the movies then for now, since i'm still fairly early into the anime, although I'm much further (Vol 11) into the manga, and at this point, it seems to be going identical to the manga

[MrBrown]

I just finished reading the manga.

Do the two movies that come after the TV series add anything that didn't happen in the manga?

I been keeping up with central-anime's releases, and Im glad that they're releasing one episode per day. This is one of the few highschool animes being released and I must say its a great anime.

Anybody keeping up?

Episode 26 has left me with a lot of questions.

It'll slow down once we catch up to what is already complete. Then we'll go to 2 a week or so. I have scripts up to 60 now and once I return home from where I am I'll begin working on them. So I hope you enjoy the series as much as I do subbing it.

YAY!!

I went into this show not knowing or expecting much, and it has me totally floored. I haven't been this hooked on a show in a long time. Thanks to everyone at Central for having great taste in anime and for posting this for everybody.

Touch is one of the best animes EVER.

Up to 36 are fully complete. 37-38 are 95% complete and will be finished after I return home.(Very soon). Then I have scripts up to 64.

I was planning on doing the movie(not the compilation ones) but the Miss Lonely Yesterday one.

Pretty cool to hear that you guys might be doing Touch movie 4. How about the latest Touch movie that was released 4 years ago? I think the name of the movie is crossing road...

I think that the Crossroads movie was released when they had already stopped releasing anime on LDs. If you'd be interested in buying the DVD, code is VPBY-11274

DVD at CD Japan

Touch - Crossroads - Kaze no Yukue (タッチ　CROSSROAD　風のゆくえ):　

[Bullsquat]

I think it's amazing that you guys at Central Anime are doing one episode per day. Keep up the good work.

[Makaveli]

Should I put Spoilers just to discuss each episode?

About up to 28

Spoiler:

So this is the second part, Im guessing they will be focusing more on the games/matches which are not my favorite parts. I dont think touch would be the same from now on, I mean the whole thing was about the three of them, but now its just gonna be the two of them wich eventually will confess and go out, then the end.

Im just trying to start a discussion.

Actually, the show continues to have a good mixture or games and drama/humor. And some of the games/matches have lots of plot devices in them. Watch all of it and you'll see. Character reactions to what happens in some of the games/matches tells you a lot about them. You'll notice that the animator/director/writers took great pain in making sure we notice what other characters notice.

As long as you don't say what happens in the episode you're probably safe.

It's up to episode 40 now from Central Anime. Anyone here still following Touch? I succumbed to watching a few episodes while impatiently waiting for the Touch DVD-Box to ship and I find myself falling into a full-blown relapse of an extremely bad addiction to Touch

I got a great big kick watching episode 40.

There are only a few people who understand how brilliant Tacchan truly is - Harada, Nitta (who has been very intrigued by Tacchan previously), and even Nishimura has to admit that he and his team are being made a fool of.

My favourite in this epsiode is when Harada said that Tacchan is more a genius than Kacchan is. Nitta's awed explanation later of what Tacchan did against Nishimura made me grin uncontrollably.

About a month and a half away to the shipping date of the Touch DVD-Box... The wait is killing me
