Sadly, it turns out the reason I like the opening and ending music is because its the actual music from the game back in the 90's as well. I hope the series popularity helps in that style of music making a real comeback at least. Last edited by Kaioshin Sama; 2007-01-02 at 22:13. |

I think Kaioshin i's using "realistic" the way it is intended for literature, as in "normal human behavior within the confines of a consistent logical environment" even if aspects of that enivironment are supernatural
e.g. Frodo and Gandalf act realistically in a logical consistent (but fantastic to us) universe.

Since this is the "generic discussion" .. I'd say yeah.... even after this series is done airing, people will come visit to see if they might like the show. Dropping into the individual eps, I'd say their on their own but they should be able to browse the main threads without tooo much spoilage. FPB has had one or two series *seriously* spoiled for him because people babbling about relatively recent series he hadn't delved that far into yet. So I kind of understand his seriousness and remember posting to the effect
A lot of people wait til the series is done and just batch the whole thing (what I did with Gift and Higurashi, for example).

Somewhere on this board, someone was talking about the ‘4 seasons’. I just read it in passing but it had something to do with Air and Kannon. Since its was obvious that Air is in summer and Kannon in winter it stuck with me.
Can someone explain this a bit more? The reason is that I just watched Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien and I’m wondering if it was done by the same artist. It seems to have the same feel as Air and Kannon. And even if it isn’t by the same artist or production company, how would I go about finding more shows like these 3? Thanks. ~Tasdern

These four shows, in order of their time of release, are ONE (Fall), Kanon (Winter), AIR (Summer), and CLANNAD (Spring). As of this date, only Kanon and AIR have been adapted into anime, so you're not likely to ONE or CLANNAD as an anime series anytime soon. I'll let others more informed to pick up where I've left off. |

AniDB is now stating that Kanon will air until march 30, 2007. Therefore the number of episodes would be 26, and not 24 as I had heard until now.
AniDB itself, was stating 24 until no more than 2 weeks ago, and has recently updated, while ANN still says 24. Now, who's correct? Someone with access to reliable sources may be able to know more?

Possibility No. 2: The two extra episodes are there because KyoAni decided at the last moment to add two recap episodes, in the style of AIR's recap episode. Possibility No. 3: The two extra episodes are there because KyoAni is intending to fill those slots in with Kanon extras, somewhat like an AIR in Summer type of deal. Possibility No. 4: The two extra episodes are there because KyoAni is intending to do a Toei and use the two slots for a Kanon Special. Take your pick. |

Indeed, yes. And there're two of them actually. One is all-age, and one is hentai. Even though I have never played the game (in fact, that's the only one of the "four seasons" I didn't play, due to... various reasons), I have a feeling that the hentai one stays more loyal to it. The all-age one, on the other hand, seems very confusing to me. I was like "eh?" after finished watching it. Maybe someone who has both played the game and watched the OVAs can clarify which one is more truthful to the game.
PS Btw, I would call those "four seasons of Key" rather than "four seasons of bishoujo games", 'cause IMO, Memories Off series represents the fall season better. |

And yet, "four seasons of Key" still isn't more accurate than "four seasons of bishoujo", because ONE was made by Tactics, not KEY. True, the Tactics staff who were in charge of ONE eventually became the core group of the breakaway company KEY, but still.

Oh yeah, CLANNAD already has a movie planned for this summer, so I think we can expect to see its TV series sometimes (next year maybe?). Now, comparing to AIR, this is a even bigger challenge since I can't imagine how they going to fit CLANNAD's story into a two-hour time frame. I'm looking forward to it. But before then, I should try to finish the game. |

It's probably better to classify games by creator/director instead of company (i.e. four seasons of Jun Maeda). With people moving from studio to studio over time, it becomes harder to define a "Key game". After all, some people classify ONE as a Key game because of the involvement of Jun Maeda, Naoki Hisaya, Itaru Hinoue, etc. But where does that leave Planetarian now that Yuichi Suzumoto is gone? Should it be lumped in with his future Leaf/Aquaplus projects?
Additionally, there're people who recognize ONE as a Key product, while ignoring the fact that MOON was also created by the same staff. MOON may be a kichiku game, but that doesn't negate its development history. [on a related note, To Heart faces a similar issue. The lead writer/creator and the character illustrator quit Leaf to form an independent company (PLAYM), so To Heart 2 was developed by a new crew. Nonetheless, no one claims that To Heart is a PLAYM product] |

Need some Japanese help from one of the game players, if it's not too much trouble.
Am I correct in assuming that the word まもの, rendered "demon" in the fansubs, is 魔者 in kanji? |
