Wait… they actually finished it?! o_o Where have I been?

I remember when I first got that show, this was back in the VHS days and one of my buddies threw it at me like it was some kind of disease and told me to keep it. He swore he would never watch another Gainax show again.

I don’t think he likes his feelings played with. :3

Page 116 is on fire.

I bookmarked it. :3 Might make good stickart, it’s so legendary.

Kare Kano manga really shifts the focus off Arima and Yukino later on, though.

IT IS.

Ah, I was unaware, does their story finish at least?

Kodocha was still good shit though, it tackled some pretty fucking tough issues you wouldn’t expect given the age of its characters and its setting.

Here’s a cast shot of Maria-sama ga Miteru, though there’s a few people missing, but it’s a general idea.

Well the manga, that is, the comic, so yeah. ALOT of anime are actually based on comics that precede them which DO normally finish. Anime is where it can sometimes go wrong, but it can happen on both ends.

IT DOES.

(caps)

Yes, it does.

To be honest, I think their relationship does get a little boring after they get together, though.

Art design is beautiful, you weren’t kidding about the skirts. My eyes are immediately drawn to the girl all the way to the left. Interesting… who is she?

You know, as the anime was ending it really implied that was exactly what was going to happen. They really started getting into other characters, and even started jumping into a yuri story arc… and suddenly BAM… it ends. Like wha?

I’m really happy to hear it continued.

Ah, but doesn’t it always? Lois and Clark pre-wedding was way better than Lois and Clark post-wedding, and yeah, I realize what I said was really fruity. LoL but it’s true!

Nobody liked Parker/Mary Jane after she finds out who he was and they get hitched. People like building tension and blooming romance. The sex is always better when it doesn’t feel right.

We interrupt this serious business to bring you a word from our sponsors

And we’re back to dealing with the sad reality that TV shows can only briefly provide that oh so elusive happiness.

That would be Rei.

Tall and tough~

Kill yourself now please. Take Spit Juice with you too

Kare Kano

Spoiler

The manga ends at a great point, but I would have liked to see Arima’s expression when he finds out that his daughter loves Asaba.

The reason I can’t die is because you have never learned to love. I keep telling you, just jam it in there and keep shaking it until I die, but you are too much of a coward devoid of will power or endurance to follow through.
Maybe if you weren’t so tsundere you wouldn’t have this problem.

you sir, are the greatest.

thank you, im rofling irl

Let’s talk about dat Bakemonogatari #5!

Bakemonogatari #5

[details=Spoiler]

Finding out that Mayoi Hachikuji was actually dead while on route to find her mother’s and was left to wander alone in the after life struck me as being extremely heart-breaking and actually came as a shock to me. The poor kid.

I’m glad Araragi was able to find some small way, with the aide of Senjogahara, to bring an end to poor Mayoi’s suffering. I know her arc is over, but now that she’s free I’m hoping that Mayoi will make random appearances throughout the remainder of the series. She’s just too cute to forget about! :lovin:

Concerning Araragi and Senjogahara: from what I understand, in the light novels, they officially start dating at the end of Mayoi Snail story. With that said I guess it’s safe to say that the same is happening here in the anime series.

I know Senjogahara is one hell of a fox, but damn, Araragi needs to be careful. I’ve dated a crazy virgin starved for love before and it was no picnic. Granted she was not as attractive, strong willed or as articulate as Senjogahara so that may explain why things between us didn’t work out. :rofl:[/details]

I’m loving Bakemonogatari and can’t wait for me. I know it’s a stretch but I’m really hoping it gets picked up for a US release and they bring the light novels stateside. That’d be a dream come true. :lovin:

Holy shit! I laughed so hard I cried! Thanks Kromo, that definitely made my night! :rofl:

behind on so much anime :confused:

i think imma just watch bakemonogatari for the time being, the other shows can wait i just can’t find enough time for them.

That, combined with the fact that THEY ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT PEOPLE STILL DO STUFF AFTER THEY GET TOGETHER, is a big part of the reason I love KareKano so much. Although you must have made that “bad grades” business up. :lol: No such thing ever happened. At most, Yukino decided to stop trying to be perfect for the sake of appearance…she didn’t stop wanting to be the best.
