The production
values are pretty good for a 24 episode anime, the character
designs are yummy (the girls that is) and the story seems to
draw you along nicely.
{I published this in 2006}
I wouldn't say this is a "great" anime, it seemed
to have potential but after seeing the whole thing it seems to
be unrealized in a multitude of ways.
About the only really saving grace to this show is it waits
'till the bitter end to screw itself up beyond anything but a
creepy ending . . .
. . . Unless you consider fucking your 14 year old 1st cousin,
a happy ending,
(the girl you've basically taken care of and consider your
little sister since her parents were killed about 8 or so years
ago).
The whole show is about getting
beyond the things that hold you back.
"Moving forward".
I never really thought realizing your dream and getting past
your "artistic block" would be banging your first cousin or your
little sister, depending how you look at it . . .
After dumping the woman you've always admired, that you work
with, has a college degree, a good job that she is good at, and
isn't a high-school sophomore . . . I don't think of that as "moving forward".
I could see Dr. Phil saying those
magical words to these characters,
"What the hell is wrong with you?!"
Ahh!
The world is full of hedonistic, freaky people.
I can only seriously give this
about a 3. It's going to have to rate down there with such
monumental work like "Green Green", "Inukami!" and
"Rumbling Hearts" all for lack
of a good ending.
I can honestly say I hated this
ending more than any other . . .
I'd be kind of
surprised if this ever got distributed in North America before
2010, and I doubt it would ever be dubbed in English. You might
find it in a few years as a cheap box-set/thin-pack.
If it was a porno it might've made it over here already, but
it's kind of light in the fanservice department as it is.
To be totally honest
if it wasn't for the ending I'd be giving this a 7 easily, it
could have been that good. I could be tempted to rant on for
pages but by now you've either decided to avoid this anime or
embrace it.
If you did like it,
I won't tell anyone.
