Fantasy Novel

Notes

Classification -

Synopsis Four school friends, two of whom (Narumi Takayuki and Suzumiya Haruka) form a couple. However the un-attached girl, Hayaze Mitsuki, is frequently making reasons to have meaningful encounters with Takayuki, who seems incapable of resisting her wiles and arriving at a date on time. Then Haruka is seriously injured in a traffic accident while waiting on a date. Takayuki is late because Mitsuki met him, told him it was her birthday, and got him to buy her a ring.
In the next episode the action has jumped to three years later. Takayuki and Mitsuki both have jobs and have apparently become more than friends. But what has happened to Haruka?

Review Whoa, I知 really confused now. I just watched the first episode of the new H-sim-derived anime, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien and there seems to be a real disconnect between the actual episode and the teaser that was floating around a couple of weeks ago. Sure, the girls look the same, but the teaser suggested something a bit more than just another shounen romance.
And what we have here is just another shounen romance, albeit with character designs swiped from several other series such as Full Metal Panic and CCS, and a romantic triangle that essentially wraps up in one episode what it took KOR 50 or so episodes to do.
Little CCS-clone Suzumiya has pined away for slacker Takayuki since first year of high school, and now that they are in their senior year, Suzumiya finally decides to make her move, with help from her jockette friend and FMP-clone Hayase. But Takayuki likes Hayase because she pays attention to him. But Hayase has been chatting up Takayuki in order to give Suzumiya more opportunities to be Takayuki. But Suzumiya doesn稚 have much of a personality and no interests in common with Takayuki, who keeps on seeing images of Hayase.
But, but, but, but, but. (And surprisingly enough for something derived from an H-game, we don稚 get any fan service with the exception for a butt shot of Hayase in her swim suit.) Well, things resolve themselves before the episode finishes, almost as if it were a one-shot OAV, but there is a final parting shot of Hayase looking miserable because she has successfully matched up Takayuki and Suzumiya.
The animation isn稚 bad in the episode, and there is a bland but inoffensive, and very stereotypical soft piano BGM to set the mood. And there is even a tiny bit of humor to lighten up the teenaged angst. But (there I go again with the disclaimer), I can稚 really see where this plot can go that will be different and interesting.
So if you like quiet shounen romances, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien may well attract your fancy, particularly if you want a warm, familiar feeling from a series. But if you are looking for something different and challenging, this show isn稚 likely to bring it to you. (Unless that first scene in the teaser that looked like blood on a floor means that there will be a sudden and unexpected twist in the plot, a la something like a change in writers to say, Go Nagai.)

I thought this was the usual sort of mild shoujo-ish school melodrama till I was rudely awakened by the scene in the second episode where the young couple (Takayuki and Haruka) go to bed and make love. This never used to happen in TV anime! Then the episode ends with the shocking traffic accident.
It becomes a serious drama about Adult Relationships, and since this is rather rare in anime this one is worth a look even though it's not otherwise one of the great anime. Takayuki and Haruka seem rather one-dimensional as characters, but the troubled Hayase, and Haruka's sister Akane, are more interesting. The prevailing mood is sombre, though there are moments of levity in the end-of-episode super-deformed sketches and also in the scenes with the two waitresses as Takayuki's part time job.
It's very watchable in a what-happens-next sense, with attractive animation. (GC)
