One thing struck me though.While I don't mind a bit of fanservice every now and then,isn't she too young to have breast implants?

/me clutches his nose due to nosebleed, especially after the thought of the above girl not wearing a bra

For those that compared it to Da Capo, I asked if it was a good thing or not because I haven't seen DC yet.

So, how is this anime? Cause I have seen mixed feelings in this thread.

Ashlotte · 2006-10-24, 12:01

Well the show gets bonus points for jumping straight into the thick of it so soon and dispensing with the filler.

As for your question LC...Ummm...Kinda hard to answer...The original was nice but not so much the second season but thats probably because im a kotori fan...

Darklightz · 2006-10-24, 12:37

When did this become the Da Capo thread? lol

Anyway after watching the 3rd episode,it seems indeed they're getting to the main plot quickly.On a side nite they seem to have forgotten about Gift really quickly.I"m betting that the girl's bunny is a Gift,maybe from his brother himself

martino · 2006-10-24, 14:20

It's starting to get interesting now(after watching ep3)...

I don't think that the bunny is a Gift, since IIRC you can give it only once and to the person you love. I don't think that at that age they had such developed feelings for each other. I think that it was just a "normal" gift(with small g).

Shiroth · 2006-10-24, 20:51

Jesus Christ would the OST be released tomorrow.. each track played so far has been outstanding.. *coughs*

Anyway, episodes 02 & 03 really shined a lot more then the first, though like we agreed - the first episode was there just to show us the power of Gift, and i beieve it was done perfectly. I'm pretty happy with how the romance side of the story has already been brought up as a issue (yes just like more Da Capo shows :3), though, i do believe Gift is going better at it.

Apart from them both having the same voice actors, Amami & Jun'ichi are so much alike. I can't see it being thanks to the same team who did Da Capo, 'cause both are not new stories (meaning both where games). Ar first i was finding myself just calling him Jun'ichi.. though i'm glad that stopped. & yes i'm already madly in-love with Riko.. she's already a much more interesting character then Nemu as the sister character.

I'm still waiting for Utamaru to appear...

DanielSong39 · 2006-10-24, 20:59

Maybe this is Da Capo after all...

No spineless lead male in this one! Cheers!

DanielSong39 · 2006-10-25, 02:12

I'm quite impressed with the score - the track alone is enough to keep me watching (and listening).

As for the show itself... it goes from being not-so-great at the start to above average in the space of three episodes. Looks like this show is going to be a success after all; loads of foreshadowing here - there's excellent potential for some serious drama. Bonus points for casting the two best girls as the leads... but why do I get the feeling that Kirino is going to go Sakura on us and produce a distorted Gift?

Actually, you're one of the only people who's said that, people have only been saying its like Da Capo, not a third season.

martino · 2006-10-26, 13:12

Who cares which one...as long as it's got the main bit in it; Da Capo...sweeeeet *melts in happiness*

npal · 2006-10-26, 15:27

Well, this can't be Da Capo.

I liked Nemu in DC, but I don't like Riko that much. I actually like Kirino much more... Hmm.. maybe I function under the effect of "first girl appearing with male lead"

but what the hell... I already know how's it's gonna turn, seen DC, DCSS, the OP and ED are pretty obvious... Oh well... The male lead though seems much better in this one

EDIT: Just watched ep 3... Well, that was fast

Damn...

***relentlessflame*** · 2006-10-26, 16:22

Okay, quick comments on episode 4, because I'm supposed to be going out... in short, a tiny bit obvious, but the tension's not letting up.

Spoiler for Episode 4:

DanielSong39 · 2006-10-26, 17:08

There's something going on with Kirino; I can feel it...

She may be visibly stepping back, but we only see her interactions with Amami - we don't see what happened between her and Riko. There's definitely something going on behind the scenes.

Kirino may be cute and sweet and kind, but Amami's friend said it best... one can't be indulgent in love. Looks like we will see another Nemu vs. Sakura battle after all!

DrewGSR · 2006-10-26, 19:00

Yea like alot of people have been saying I'm getting alot of Da Capo vibes from this show. I did enjoy DC so that can be considered a godo thing for me, but not so much DC 2 though. So far im a Riko fan atm.

Hmm, i would assume most of you guys have seen Shuffle. Kirino is like giving me vibes of Kaede, I just have a feeling she will sometime down the road will explode and do something psycho like using the "Gift" to wish something crazy. Then again that can be like DC too since Sakura wished for that one thing and Nemu got all messed up haha.

Anyways go RIKO!!

I'm assuming you're talking about up to episode 3? Without an indicator, it's hard to know what context you're speaking in. In any case, this isn't really a spoiler, but they do start revealing some of that in episode 4, little by little, starting with one brief (but important) flashback scene. I agree that this is one of the things the show has been hinting at very strongly.

DanielSong39 · 2006-10-26, 22:28

Trying to imagine Kirino with a boxcutter...

Nah, can't do it.

LCeh · 2006-10-26, 23:49

Wow, that was fast. Way faster than I expected it to be. I mean...

Good, 'cause there's no reason at all for you to think that way.

npal · 2006-10-27, 11:51

It'd be fun if Kirino gained the Kaede template

Tragedy tragedy, and I hope this time no unrealistic revelation happens either. Heads will roll

DanielSong39 · 2006-10-27, 13:09

In any case, it's nice to see Kirino get some development - she turns out to be more than a Konomi clone after all.

*relentlessflame* 　 Administrator Join Date: Dec 2003 Age: 41	Okay, quick comments on episode 4, because I'm supposed to be going out... in short, a tiny bit obvious, but the tension's not letting up. Spoiler for Episode 4: One of the side-effects of episode 3 is that every episode from now on has to carry at least some weight. And this otherwise almost stereotypical beach episode is no different. Whereas most beach episodes that happen this early in the show are light-hearted fanservice-filled fun (and this episode had its share too), the tension was just unavoidable. Maki's smart enough to see that there's some tension going on between Riko and Haruhiko, so he plans and manipulates the test of courage to put them together. But, Riko chooses not to get close to her brother, and so gets seperated from him (if only she had taken his hand!), only to eventually find him again with Kirino crying in his arms. That's what you get for lying to him and to yourself, Riko! Her line at the end, "I really do love Onii-chan after all", is mostly a realization that she's lying in the bed she made for herself - in other words, it's her own fault. By pushing Haruhiko away, she's necessarily bringing him closer to Kirino - that's what she said she wanted, but obviously isn't.

LCeh Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006	Wow, that was fast. Way faster than I expected it to be. I mean... Spoiler: From the first half of the third ep, obviously I knew something was going to happen, when his friend told him that they are not real siblings, and they are just a man and woman, but I did not expect Amami to confess so soon. Looks like we are already on the roller coaster ride, but I am guessing this series only has 12-14ish episodes, so they can't just stroll along and afford filler-like episodes. So far, things have been happening in a flash, almost at a breakneck pace. First ep introduces gift, second ep gives you the character background, then third ep we already are on with the main dish. Looks promising so far. Everything looks very good except the art, but even that is not that bad. I can tolerate that.
