Do watch it again. You'll catch on to more stuff too and be annoying by the sister and her friend more too (they annoyed me, lol).

I watched it straight through and couldn't move to the next episode fast enough. It has some really great jaw dropping moments.

Start reading the manga! Each volume covers a different girl, its an ingenious, and the perfect, way of handling an eroge. The scanlations are steady and the first volume is already released in NA.

Ignore the publicity and watch it. Its a must for romance fans.

Fans were opposed to what they did to some of the characters, they split the male character in two. They changed one of the heroines personalities a little and other small things. I believe kimikiss did well in the raitings, but people that watch TV in Japan rarely buy DVD. Kimikiss DVDs were selling bellow 2000 unit per volume and they were expecting at least 10000 units per volume.

I can understand how they could be angry but splitting the main character is what made the anime great. Its impossible to have one guy deal with significant romances with that many female characters in such a short series. Its a shame the DVDs didn't sell as good, but it still made the game more popular so it wasn't a complete loss.
