If you like Miyazaki films you might want to check out "Future Boy Conan", if you haven't already. ^^
Hmm...I have only heard of Future Boy Conan in the past. Never seen any. Gotta hunt down for some eps. Thanks for the suggestion.

I really like Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. I think it would translate to something like "The eternity you wish for" It's a really great series. I think there are quite a few great series based on hentai games. Takayuki annoys me greatly though. Especially in episode 8. Anyways. I'm a Mitsuki fangirl although Ayu is cool too. Big Grin



it's based on a hentai game?hmm.....'interesting'.....haha!
anyway~
after watching the first episode,i predected the outcome.and after watching the second,man i was wrong!
and yes,i don't like takayuki.he started it all.
and yea,i'm an ub3r mitsuki fan too!i don't think ayu deserves him and the only reason why i think she should have him is due to sympathy.
i'm hoping for a good ending between takayuki and mitsuki though...but i'm pretty sure the ending will be between takayuki and ayu[a shitty ending in my opinion].but heck,my predictions for this anime has gone awry.so who knows!
oh yea,i'm currently downloading ep 7 and 8.so i don't know anything after ep 6...so hush!


and yes,maison ikkoku's artworks isn't that good since it's done quite a long time ago['80s].heck,if u read the manga,you will get a shock of your life!but the reason why everyone loves it is because of the great romance story it gives.
i'm REALLY considering buying all the mangas from volume 1-14 even though i've read volume 1-13 from a library.i think it's really worth it.
yes,i know it cost AUS$36 each.but it's one of the best manga i've read!how can i NOT have iT!!!!!
agree?

Yes, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is based on a hentai game. I think there's also a novel. Another good h-game to anime adaption is Kanon. Anyways.. The anime seems to be following the game rather closely (Except it doesn't go into as much detail in the story as the game.) but it could really go either way at this point. It'll likely be the Haruka or Mitsuki ending though. Bleah I doubt it'd be the green haired nurse girl ending but I think that would be interesting if it did. XD I don't think they'll go with any ending besides either Haruka or Mitsuki though.

Maison Ikkoku is really good. I'm trying to decide if I should collect the anime or manga though. I think I might go with then anime since I've heard it follows the manga pretty well. And I don't see anything wrong with the MI artwork.. ^^;

oh sorry.i WAS referring to haruka.not ayu!
got abit mixed up... =P
and kanon was based from a H-game???
unbelievable!
if it's from a 'dating-sim' game then i understand...but H-game??
you know what.i say for a 'good' ending,then takayuki must die.cause if he gets either of the girls,it will be an awkward ending.
=) [you can see i do NOT like takayuki.but mitsuki's the bomb!]


oh yea,if u r more comfortable with anime,then by all means go get the anime version of maison ikkoku.i'm more comfortable with mangas,that's why i'd rather read manga then watch animes.you see,i grew up on mangas.
oh yea,i also heard that in the maison ikkoku anime,they don't have a character called "yotsuya".he's replaced with another guy who's exactly like him.anyone got news on this?

If money is not an issue, go for both!
I have read the manga once since I was in my early teens, instantly fell in love with Maison Ikkoku Lovey Eyes Needed more! I found out later anime was available, hunt it down. Actually I finished the anime first, manga later cos the release of manga was still incomplete back then but I did finish later as further books were released. Manga and anime, both are masterpieces! I think I got attached to anime, the characters were "real", they communicated with each other, the fantastic music etc.
Manga is less livelier but I do love Kyoko's jealousy Mr Green Ooh! She sure is hot tempered when it comes misunderstanding and "being cheated" on. MI is a lifetime experience which I will remember till the end.

I love MI artwork! You really can see how Rumiko has emerged for being a splendid manga artist! Her drawing skill has evolved and evolving has its limit, Ranma� and Inu Yasha. I enjoyed Ranma a lot, A LOT of typical Takahashi jokes lol The famous boot/blow into the clear sky!!! Despite Ranma repeats itself often I have it enjoyed it to the fullest.

Maison Ikkoku dvd bootleg is sold on ebay for approx. 70$ which isn't bad for a complete set. Quality is good, subs from fansubs.
If you want to support the greedy Viz, they release the official sets priced at 45 $. The dvd box consists of 3 dvds equal 12 eps. 2 boxes have been released so far. God knows whether they will complete the series or just dump the project if the sales don't satisfy em Angry Occured before.

Viz has badly treated the fans in the past. I don't take their words for it. I believe them only if the complete sets have been released and will definitely buy em.

Yep. Kanon was. But games like Kanon, Air, KimiNozo and so on aren't all about the sex. These games have beautiful stories. Visual novels. Although they do make all-Hentai games also. But they usually have really great story. The only good game that has been translated into english is Kana~Little Sister~ But yeah.. Good romance stories. Bleah They usually don't even have all that much sex. Usually the sex is something that is needed for the story. And they even made an all-age version of Kanon. ^^

I like both anime and manga equally. But since the anime isn't all that different and also has an ending. I'm going to go for the anime. With Ranma.. After I started collecting I heard the anime didn't have an ending so now I'm collecting the manga for that instead. Sweat

Yeah. You can get the sets for like 30-40 dollars and in my opinion, that isn't a bad deal at all. ^_^

And I don't buy bootlegs. I fully support the companies. xD Viz doesn't handle anime very well.. Although they've always been one of my more favored manga companies.

i see.and yes,i must agree that they have great artworks.
so let me get this straight.it's a H-game that doesn't have loads of sex in it[only a titsy bit] and it's all about the story behind it?
cool.

oh yea,MI manga has an ending!if i'm mistaken,please prove me wrong.i NEED to know.hehe

Yeah, they have great romance/drama.

And yes, I know the MI manga has an ending. ^^; I just sometimes like to go with the anime instead if the anime also has a good ending. Unlike say, Ranma. The Ranma anime didn't have an ending. xD The Urusei Yatsura anime has an ending so I'm collecting the UY anime instead of the manga. Bleah

havent been able to find a hq fansub of urusei yatsura before so just watched the first 5 episodes.

Deal! For those wanting a HQ fansub of Golden Boy, [AznA] just released the first 2 eps in dual audio ogg format. You can get the torrent here.

Heh. I bought about the first 100 episodes or so of Urusei Yatsura so far and all the movies. I can't wait till Animeigo releases the whole series.

hehehe, i wish. I dont really know japanese so there's nothing to brush up. hehehe.
Actually, since its my all-time favorite anime comedy, I'm thinking of making a signature for it and having a raw version without subtitles is a better source for clips.
