Futakoi does have a much different feel than shows like Maburaho and Love Hina--the absence of fanservice (at least for what I've seen through ep 3) is enough to make it very different from the stereotypical "harem" show. The legend of the twins also makes it feel like it'll take a more dramatic turn than harem series typically do (although I hope it doesn't get as dramatic as Kiminozo). In other ways, it fits the harem mold since almost all of the girls like the male lead and his main dilemna is deciding which girl he wants to go out with. I just hope when it ends it doesn't take the easy way out and leave it open-ended.

A really good ending is what I want for Futakoi, but it pains me to see Nozomu so unhappy.....I'd take the girls right away! LOL |

I liked how they got a supporting character to tell off the male lead. You rarely get this with most harem series. Most series just have everything falling into place to aid the final couple to become together. Here we seem to have characters who see what is wrong with the situation and moving to rectify it. |

I'm not really sure if it will be able to have a satisfying conclusion with 13 episodes... since next episode it seems more or less a filler one judging from the previews... currently I'm guessing around 26 episodes or a second season (not that UFO table one though, I'm still not sure what that UFO table one is about).
well, Maburaho's ending is actually something unorthodoxical for a harem show, which I consider a merit for a harem show (since harem shows usually don't have any merit anyway) |

wow! such a deceptive episode preview! At the end of ep11 preview I thought ep12 looks like a filler episode, never expected it to be so angst-ridden, and even more surprisingly, in a good way. So yup ep13 will be the final episode, really really can't wait for it now, I just don't know how the whole thing will be resolved, and I really really hope it doesn't get some cheap ending. Currently the only way I think this series can end satisfactorily is for Nozomu getting beaten to death by that goat, Nozomu needs to DIE! there's no other way to resolve the whole thing! (kinda reminds me of Sentimental Graffiti now, the best ending should be all the girls surround Nozomu's grave and cry out their angst and then head out for a new future without him )

For me, the best moment of episode 12 was from 11:35 to 13:50. Good display of the pent up emotions and conflicts that the relationship had brought onto this pair. The last few episodes do shine.
One wonders though if the series could have done with less episodes, this I would have to ponder after the conclusion. Let us hope the conclusion would be something else other than a convenient solution that somehow satisfies everyone greatly. 最終回 「春遠からじ・・・」 2004年12月29日放送予定 |

There's always the new Futakoi series that ufotable is doing in spring '05, although I read it's going to focus on the Shirogane twins. It doesn't sound like it'll be a sequel, I wonder if Nozomu and the other twins will be in it, or if it'll go in a completely different direction. The ufotable Futakoi's website shows one of the Shirogane twins with a machine gun ( http://www.starchild.co.jp/special/h...ufo/index.html ) so it's hard to tell what it's going to be like. I'm guessing if it's anything like ufotable's other work (Dokkoida and Shinobuden) it'll be an insane comedy...definitely looking forward to seeing more of the cast of Futakoi. |

hmm... I think ep13 is okay... not the best possible ending, but it's quite okay, somewhat fitting to this series
