I haven't heard anything about it getting picked up yet and I try to keep track of all the non-adult romance gaming anime that gets picked up for R1. If it did get picked up I would like to know about it. It doesn't seem like an anime that would get picked up this early in it's cycle though.

I'm still ticked at AnimeNfo for not correcting their Kakyuusei listing after I told them several times what was wrong.

Episode 9 out, and it looks like the next episode will develop the story a lot, with an ending like this one. A lot more has been revealed now.

Maceart · 2004-08-31, 19:56

compared to the sister show Wind, hanihani comes up way too short

This anime comes soooo close to be harem, yet they make it seem like a generic high school romantic comedy (to Heart)

At Least wind has a point with each character's magical powers and has cool 3d cg parallelax scrolling

JOJOS'STAR · 2004-08-31, 23:27

I hope this episode is as good as the others... 9 is a lucky number.

Maceart---> harem ??? How come ?

Just watched Episode 11, and now I'm very confused.

Spoiler:

Itlandm · 2004-09-12, 21:32

That's my impression from episode 11 too. But there is no explanation for the wings, so far. It looks like the creators have made different plots and got their pages confused. ^_^

Timeless Enigma · 2004-09-12, 21:35

If you're confused because of episode 11, that's a fair indication that the good old writing team rushed.

I expected it. It was much too fast. First you think everything is normal save for a few things for over half of the damn show, then two episodes before the end, what happens?

Spoiler for episode 11:

Uh huh... great job guys...

Anyway, I'm still liking the characters, but the plot could've been better. More character development could've been better. Oh wait... we're only watchin 10 minute episodes... I guess it's kind of hard to achieve that...

Was it my imagination, or did they just half-ass that story in the last two episodes? It's almost like it's a completely different anime.

Kyolux · 2004-09-19, 00:37

Yeah.. they totally blew it I think. Were they budget-limited to have 9-10 minutes episodes instead of the normal time? I barely got a grasp of what actually happened.

clem-kun · 2004-09-19, 11:37

Um... interesting ending.

Spoiler:

KoopaTroopa · 2004-09-19, 16:40

I thought the ending was ok, it turned out like I thought it would. I wonder what next week's special episode will be about? The series wasn't that bad; it was kinda cute and good filler while waiting for other fansubs to come out.

FlyByNite · 2004-09-19, 19:46

All I wanted from this show was one little thing

Why I think she has wings

Spoiler:

Was just a cute & entertaining anime, maybe if it wasn't 13 minutes an episode, it could have evolved better. The teacher is pretty funny at first...class is like, "We can't see you"...I loved that & wondered why she was the teacher.

Itlandm · 2004-09-20, 19:07

Shame about the wings. (You will remember that Naoki had scars on his back in the same place as the wings would be.) I definitely have the impression that a bunch of people here worked with different version of the anime, perhaps based on alternate timeline in a dating sim? Sadly they didn't have the time, or the talent perhaps, to make it all together in one story, so we got all these contradictions and disconnected episodes.

But yeah, it was kinda cute. The opening song (ending song in 12) got kinda stuck in my head for a day. Poor coworkers. I also remembered only a small part of the Japanese lyrics. -_-

KoopaTroopa · 2004-09-27, 10:01

I just watched the special 13th episode. Nothing special...just a recap of what happened. Anything special about the episode was that they ran special notes about the major characters, like birthday and whatever. Nothing special to see. I thought the episode would show how the marriage and relationship was doing & how the future turned out.

Onesimos · 2004-09-27, 18:08

This is my first time posting on this forum, but I would like to say that I am quite disappointed with this final episode, but the entire anime series. Certain things went unexplained, and the plot could had been much better.

While the female characters look attractive, I do not think this is a good anime worth licensing for Region 1 DVD release.

KoopaTroopa · 2004-09-27, 18:41

This whole series could have been done in about 4 episodes, but I thought it was cute while I wait for other series to be dubbed.

You mean subbed?

Timeless Enigma · 2004-09-27, 18:48

Episode 13 was VERY disappointing, given the fact that I was actually expecting more plot advancement... not a damn recap episode.

I haven't seen Wind 13 yet, but I'm betting it's also a recap episode...

clem-kun Shi-Fa Staff Join Date: May 2004 Location: USA	Just watched Episode 11, and now I'm very confused. Spoiler: What exactly happened 5 years ago? Naoki's parents and him were hit by a flash of light from the future, and his parents got lost in a time warp and Naoki split into two people, one being Yuusuke, who was warped into the future and was found by Mikoto? Is that even close? __________________ Shining Fansubs' Current Projects: The Gargoyle of the Yoshinagas, Futakoi Alternative

I barely got a grasp of what actually happened. Spoiler: So when Nao was about 5-6 years old he got in this time warp, then became yuusuke in the future, and then some time shift made to version of him or something when he came back to the present 5 years ago? Was it something like this? Man I'm totally clueless on the story. And next weeks is just a special episode, so it won't be clearer then that. Maybe those who played the game can explain us what the real deal is?

clem-kun Shi-Fa Staff Join Date: May 2004 Location: USA	Um... interesting ending. Spoiler: I didn't like it. Wtf happened to Yuusuke? Did his personality perish when he merged with Naoki? And what was the scene with small Honami, small Naoki, and the two Naoki spirits all about? Shame on the producers. What a messed up ending. __________________ Shining Fansubs' Current Projects: The Gargoyle of the Yoshinagas, Futakoi Alternative

But i'll be damned, they never did... lol Oh well, fluff happy ending seems fitting. Yuusuke died/merged into Naoki, which was fair sine Naoki was the original.
