If anything, it looks like it's mainly comedy.

Please refresh me, guys. When this new series will start to broadcast?

Midonin · 2008-01-05, 13:47

It already has.

Mentar · 2008-01-05, 14:45

After the disastrous Tsuyokisu conversion, KimiAru looks MUCH more promising. Mostly true to the game storyline (only the Benice part got altered), they condensed the (unfortunately longish and winded) game introduction to one episode only - good! The VA cast seems completely intact, and most of all having Shinra animated is a joy for fans

Will be looking forward to it on my saturdays!

PS: A horrible ED however. Thankfully the OP is much better.

This is great stuff. I so~ not care for the animation quality or the ED, but man... the comedy is gold, not to mention its voice cast. They did a great job. More impressions here.

aroduc · 2008-01-05, 15:17

I actually rather liked the job they did with this one, though Seki needs a new voice. The Kenichi vibes were... overwhelming. Mihato's bouncing chest was also somewhat overwhelming.

If they manage to keep the animation level near this trailer, it will defintely beat out Tsuyokisu on production values too. And with the game author directing, there's little to fear that they'll miss out on the story either. Add in the all-star cast, and we might be looking at a winner

So the games writer/author is directing the show? Animenewsnetwork has Susumu Kudo as the director don't think he was the guy that wrote Kimiaru/Tsuyokiss.

No, Takahiro is in charge of series composition, as well as a portion of the screenplay. For some reason, people keep referring to him as the show's director, which doesn't make much sense if you think about it. The required expertise/production experience is on another level.

ZODDGUTS · 2008-01-05, 16:55

Oh I see that makes more sense then.

Mentar · 2008-01-05, 17:02

My fault - I only heard that this time Takahiro had control over the anime, so I assumed he directed it. In any case, you can notice that he is involved, because the characters feel quite authentic.

Deathkillz: Hato is _no_ moeblob and not dumb. If anything, she is downright scary. Wait and see ^_^;

Friendly warning: If you can't deal with unusual characters, this is gonna be the wrong show for you

... if anything, I'd say that the characters are gonna be KimiAru's biggest strength.

Give them a chance and a bit more time. Actually, every single character from the Kuonji estate is likable in his/her own way (and crazy in another). In your list, your initial impressions of several characters is quite off for those with game knowledge, but this is not your fault - I can absolutely understand where you're coming from based on what was shown.

So far for me that proves to be true...the cast is just plain awesome XD maybe nearly every character has another side to them

Unusual characters are everywhere though, in plenty of anime. I can deal with them, I think...

I'll give them time (I was planning to anyways, because it just feels so unsatisfying leaving a series with this feeling of animosity towards the characters, minus Ren, the only one I like so far). According to other people, the characters are really good, and I want to see if I can see that.
Mah, even if I can't, I plan to see this out to the very end...

I can't tell if that's supposed to be a stab at me or something, but if that was the case, I never would have made it past the first volume of Hayate the Combat Butler, or have watched 39 episodes of Hayate no Gotoku.
Nice try at a psychoanalysis, but *bzzt* incorrect.

Deathkillz ~ You're dead ^__^* ~ Graphic Designer Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: uk, England Age: 34	ep 1 ~ holy shi this series is awesome! XD Spoiler: "COME HERE BOYA!!! haha!" Man, I cried at that scene XD Off to a rocking start in high spirits I can easily see this blowing hayate out of the water as being the better butler series. Some of the scenes were just so funny and all the characters proved to be lovable - yes even that buther who gave the sexy (shiver) smile. The story is comparable to HiMM so I see some familiararity (is that a word?) there which makles me feel right at home. The main brother and sister act was done beautifully...here we have a hot blooded brother who will do anything (well look at the above pic...nearly everything ) to keep her sister happy - cool! Their bond is heartwarming - and the tent scene just pulls at my heart strings. Seeing them so close it reminds me of M;Y...though it won't be going that far, the bond they share is lovely to see. Moving onto the sister...I swear she is a walking black hole...did she just pull that bag of stacks from her pantsu!?!? Even though we see her as the "dumb" "clueless" and "moeblob" type, I found it pretty funny that she tried to act sly (even with the change of face as an indicator XD). That kind of personality doesn't suit her, but it is because of that which makes it funny The "nobles" are a weird bunch. I expected the super genius kid to be a somewhat of a tsundere having the classic twin tails and zettai ryouiki combo, but it's good that she is more accepting of strangers ^^ But Shinra has won my heart over with her personality, style and sexiness... 100% perfect and again not just your typical oujo sama as we can see some flaws such as having a huge weakness for all things pink and fluffy...just what is that boxing panda thing (don't answer) and ROFL she is a lolicon Great start and totally made my day ^^ __________________ Siggy: hohohohoho~ \| AnimeHistory welcome to our blog ~ \| Summer2009 early review Under the radar series Summer2009: Kanamemo, GA Geijutsuka Art, NEEDLESS

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for ep1: OP - Hmm... Mediocre in a good way. ED - Still mediocre, yet not as much in the good way... -that Yasushi vs. Ren thing at the beginning - Ren shares Hayate's butler spirit. -...Sure, turn all bystanders into complete colors... -"More importantly, how about it, boy?" First impressions on characters: Uesugi siblings: Mihato - Black hole ability! () Also has a dark (?) side... ; bro-con... Ren - Definitely different from the average protagonist; he amuses me, I like that! Kuonji and servants: <--House of weirdos... Tires me out... Miyu - Wah... Isn't she full of herself... Posing in public like that... Benis - BIG at her name!! rolls around Yasushi - Kimoi! Super Klaus! Whatever! I just hope this gag doesn't get overused. Natose - Matta hen na hito!!??! Sigh... Yume - ...Um... You stay there for now. Chiharu - Shota, su~~ka?!! Well, personality-wise, he seems okay... for now? Shinra - Oh~~, isn't she full of herself (part 2)? twitch Nanka saa... This is the type of person that, if I work for, in a few days, I'd snap and kill... The comedy is fine, I guess. The characters are strange, and I guess that could be they're "charm point". To me, it is half-amusing, and half-tiring... I'll continue and see if it gets better. What I really need to do is get used to the characters. I'm the first one to really complain?...
