KimiNozo Marathon Blog
Oh.. wait.. I'm forgetting something.. I've gotta get Akane Maniax now! ;)
Okay, I'm finished. Hope y'all liked my blogging ;) It is 5:36AM here now so... oyasumi :)
Instead of shouting everything in the shoutbox I'll leave stuff here about Kimi ga Nozomu Eien. Whenever I feel like writing something I'll put it here (in the extended entry). It'll be pretty much raw reactions, however :) And in the style of a Japanese blog I've been reading lately.
5:28AM - Finished
Well, that didn't end like I would've liked it to. But at least Haruka seemed happy writing picture books :)
But as for Takayuki...
Yurusenai!!
Making Haruka go through all of that.. I don't like him one bit :P And pretty much the same goes for Mitsuki :P
But, anyways, it was an enjoyable (though angsty) ride. Glad I watched :) I'll definitely see if the other members of my "anime club" would like to watch it. Though with "those" scenes in it we'll have to watch in my room... Hope y'all liked my blogging. It was fun to just scream out about things few times :)
Oh yeah.. forgot to mention that... neko no unko fume!! has entered my vocabulary for better or worse. Mayu/Ayu were great ;)
Episode 14 - END (5:00AM)
5:12AM
Sayonara tte?
Kanashisugi! Mayauru's story was rather sad... fits Haruka and Takayuki as she said :(
5:06AM
Takayuki wa Mitsuki ga suki!
...or so he says. You can figure what I think of that :P
Episode 13 (4:34AM)
4:59AM (end of episode 13)
Haruka's really trying hard.. all to tell Takayuki that she wants to be with him.. guess he'll tell all next time. Which would be the last episode. See what happens...
4:43AM
(mata) shinjitsu kita~~!
So Mitsuki tells Haruka what happened between her and Takayuki... then...
#*@& slap!
Mitsuki deserved it. "Sorry" ain't enough to apologize for what she did :P
4:38AM
So Haruka asks the question. Is Takayuki going out with anyone now? Nope, he's not, and that's the truth, yeah, but...
Episode 12 (4:03AM)
4:32AM (end of episode 12)
I agree with what Shinji said after beating Takayuki up. It's 'cause Takayuki's like that that everybody's suffering. Yup... (can you tell I don't like him?)
4:23AM
What? Haruka doesn't remember anything from the last time she woke up?
Well then... see what happens if Takayuki visits...
4:17AM
But thankfully Mayu and Ayu gave a bit of comic relief :) I kinda like Mayu. Dojikko.. kawaii... could be considered somewhat moe-ish ;)
4:12AM
...Mitsuki told Takayuki what happened with Shinji... seems like she's gonna leave..
Episode 11 (3:35AM)
4:01AM (end of episode 12)
Takayuki don't look too good...
3:50AM
Geez, everybody's blaming themselves for everything... Hmmm? Mentar asks how do I think it's going to end?... I'm no good at predicting stuff.... I dunno... I'm just along for the ride ;)
Episode 10 (3:03AM)
3:33AM (end of episode 10)
shinjitsu kita~~!!
And Akane said it... that Haruka's been sleeping for 3 years AND that Takayuki's going out with Mitsuki... what's gonna happen now?... and what's Mitsuki doing with Shinji?..
3:26AM
Was Mitsuki really about to go in there with that guy? She's like totally wasted..
3:11AM
What? Why can't you feel happy, Takayuki?
Because you're an indecisive bastard and you're lying to someone, that's why!
Go one way or the other, dangit... And what's up with Akane now?..
3:09AM
Uh-oh.. seems like Haruka is aware that time has been passing (since her hair's longer)...
Episode 9 (2:32AM)
3:01AM (end of episode 9)
So Akane's back to being nice to onii-chan.. since she thinks it's for the best for Haruka.. and Mitsuki's drinking her worries away.. angst..
2:56AM
Shinjirarenai!
Ayu's helping Takayuki out? That's a bit unexpected.. but nice :)
2:46AM
Man, Takayuki's pretty out of it to let Ayu have a break... Mitsuki seems the same.. angst, angst, and more angst...
Episode 8 (1:55AM)
2:30AM (Mayu/Ayu Theater)
Chuu da! Chuu desu~! Chuu! CHUU!
Rewind it ;)
2:27AM (end of episode 8)
Byouin de yaru ki!? Nante daitan!
But upon seeing the scar on Haruka's chest Takayuki reconsiders... Now I feel just a little itty bitty bit sorry for Mitsuki out there in the rain all by herself....
2:24AM
kisu shichatta!
So I guess Takayuki was feeling for Haruka given that he rushed over to the hospital.. gonna make things with Mitsuki that much worse...
2:15AM
Heck yeah, you betrayed Haruka, Mitsuki!!
Here comes more angst...
2:10AM
Mitsuki visited Haruka and heard what was going on.. that Haruka understands why she likes Takayuki so much... then proceeds to go home and do it with Takayuki.
If you still feel something for Haruka is it really okay to do that, Takayuki!?
Takayuki, c'mon man, if you feel something for Haruka don't do it, dangit! Nothing good comes of doing stuff like that...
2:02AM
That's kinda ecchi there, loli-looking nurse what's-her-name?.. Amakawa, yah. You're gonna take it all, huh? ;)
Episode 7 (1:25AM)
1:52AM (end of episode 7)
So the angst picked up a bit... but thankfully was broken up by Mayu and Ayu once again. Those two are crazy ;) So Mitsuki's decided to live with Takayuki now... it kinda seems like Takayuki might still feel a bit for Haruka, I guess. But more angst is on the way, of course? :P
1:34AM
Daijoubu ja nai yo! Uso tsuiteru n'ja nai!?
Wonder how long he'll keep the act up... and since I forgot to mention this earlier...
Haruka kawaii yo!
Though I prefer her with short hair ;)
Episode 6 (12:57AM)
1:22AM (end of episode 6)
Takayuki must be feeling a bit of.. what do you call it? Cognitive dissonance? Visiting Haruka and talking with her without telling the truth about his feelings... Nothing good ever comes out of that..
1:09AM
Akane kowai~~!
But that's easy to understand given what Takayuki's done. I'm on her side for now.
1:06AM
Neko no unko fume!!
Ayu's pretty funny :)
Episode 5
12:55AM (End of Episode 5)
Have to mention I really like the ending song :)
12:52AM
Uh oh... Akane found out... yabai~
12:50AM
Mitsuki no hokuhaku kita~~!
And then she did that!? And Takayuki did it with her?
Saiaku!
What about Haruka?
Don't you just hate Takayuki for his indecisiveness ? Like I said in the shoutbox, go and play the (H-)game this series is based on.There's even an end for the Takayuki hater in which he ended up with a girl named Manami who isn't featured much in the anime.
It's always interesting to see in which direction the viewers break ;)
I think yours is easy to see *grins*
This log style is a very interesting idea!
Yeah, I do :P I might give the game a look. But reading so much text on the computer gives me a headache... ;)
Baaah, it's just ep8 you're at. The maximum damage is still to follow. Beautifully orchestrated four train wrecks at the same time... enjoy! ^_^
That sounds wonderful, Mentar... :P
Deshou? ^_^
*booooooom*
By the way: If you don't mind, please leave your assumption how this anime is going to end - and update it at the end of the remaining episode, if you happen to change your mind.
I'm pretty curious to find out what you think here, and I'm sure that many more people reading this feel the same :)
It's nice to see a red comment again :->
As a special service, here's the _full_ Hontou no Takaramono. It's a shame that it got mutilated in the last ep of the TV version, because of its implications for the four friends, and the message it's sending:
The True Treasure
By Murakami Haruka
I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!
Today, once again, Haru the Ferret
Is climbing the great big hill with all the might
In her little body.
Today, once again, the four friends will nap together.
I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!
Haru arrives at the top of the hill.
The sun has also arrived, to the very top of the sky.
To nap upon the top of the hill is a joy to Haru.
But today, something is different.
On top of the hill three ferrets have gathered.
Gathered here, what are they doing?
“Wow, this is a wonderful place.
Would it be all right for us to nap here with you?”
Haru responds, brimming with happiness,
“Yes. Let’s nap together.”
* * *
I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!
Today, once again, Haru the Ferret
Is climbing the great big hill with all the might
In her little body.
Today, once again, the four friends will nap together.
I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!
“Let’s plant a giant tree here!”
Says Aki the Ferret.
“If we do, this place will become even better!”
Everyone agrees.
This tree is their treasure.
It is a treasure planted through the hard work of them all.
I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!
Today, once again, she will nap together with her four friends,
Gathered beneath the tree at the peak of the hill.
What’s this? The tree has borne fruit.
Upon the tree one teeny, tiny, solitary fruit has sprung forth.
A new treasure has been borne.
“What a delicious-looking fruit! I’d like to eat it,”
Says Haru the Ferret.
“No way! It was I who found it! I’ll eat it,”
Says Nattsu the Ferret.
“Idiots! If the tree has borne this fruit,
Many more are sure to follow,”
Says Aki the Ferret.
“I doubt it. No, definitely not.
This fruit has come forth only with great difficulty,”
Says Fuyuyu the Ferret.
Oh no! Oh no! Things have degenerated into a quarrel.
Because there is just one fruit these quarrels have arisen.
Soon, everyone will no longer nap and play together.
“Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
At the peak of the hill, only Haru remains.
Before, everyone took soothing naps together.
Now, only Haru remains.
The next day, Haru naps at home.
And the next day. And the next day.
She naps alone.
“I’m lonely. I’m so lonely.
I want to see my friends. I want to see everyone!”
I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!
The following day, Haru is once again
Climbing the hill with all the might in her little body.
I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!
On the top of the hill is a tree that has become a giant.
It’s massive branches have borne much fruit.
But Haru remains sad.
Even though these are the treasures she pined for,
She no longer wants them.
“I’m so lonely! It’s so miserable to be alone!
I miss my friends! I want to see them again.”
So saying, Haru has found the true treasure.
I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!
Haru has found the true treasure.
She believes.
She believes with all her heart that the day will come
When once again everyone will be able to sleep peacefully together.
With this hope in her heart,
Today, once again, Haru the Ferret
Is climbing the great big hill with all the might
In her little body.
I think I can! I think I can! I think I can!
Thanks for posting that, Mentar :)
Well, it was obvious early on that you broke clearly to the Haruka camp :} ... back in the KimiNozo days, things ended up 45% supporting Haruka, 40% supporting Mitsuki and 5% wanted them all to die.
What elevated KimiNozo clearly above the rest next to the very frank and mature approach was the use of Haruka's allegories in the final episodes. Mayauru and especially the Hontou no Takaramono are just wonderful, especially with its message of forgiveness and hope for reconciliation.
So even in the end you didn't find some heart for Mitsuki aswell? Aww :)
Maybe I can feel a bit for her.. a bit.. ;)
*grins*
Well, hope you liked the ride ;) ... sleep well!
*Mentar, staunch Mitsuki supporter due to strangely similar experiences in RL*
The anime ending is a mix of Haruka's and Mitsuki's happy end in the game.
But there's a more satisfying "Truth End" in the game where everybody got together, reslove their angst and become good friends like they were in High School,but I will not spoil who Takayuki pick in this ending.Just go and get the game if you really dying to know.I recommend you to buy the game instead of D/L-ing it since it's actually one of the greatest Bishoujo H-game ever made.
Of course, there's always the Bad End for both Haruka and Mitsuki on top of the (very evil) twisted Manami End for Takayuki Haters......
I know it was probably done for artistic/story reasons but I kept wondering why in the world they hadn't been cutting Haruka's hair? Surely they knew there was a chance she'd wake up weak like she did. She'd have figured it out eventually still (from her hands, the scars perhaps) but it would have put it off longer. :P
Can't comment on all you wrote, I still have to watch 12-14 first. ^_^
Oh yeah Mentar, I definitely lean towards Haruka, I think she got a raw deal, Mitsuki was betraying her a bit even at the beginning. Of course I do feel sorry for both Mitsuki and Takayuki. As I put it when telling someone about the show (who won't watch it) three lives got destroyed that day when Haruka had the accident. I'm hoping that it ends with Takayuki going back to Haruka but I suspect it's not going to be a clean-cut ending with any of the girls.
BTW, in the game is it possible to get endings with the two silly waitresses? I can't imagine what those would be like. ^_^
Hmmm... the resolution seems to be 100% the true Mitsuki ending, with the anime containing a couple of "bad ending" elements from several Akane, Mitsuki and Haruka paths tossed in for extra drama.
Which element of the "true Haruka ending" did you recognize?
I'm somehow not surprised you ended up a Haruka supporter. I was always on Mitsuki's side, in fact, right after the anime started I made this:
http://www.fencedude.com/Kiminozo_Arcade.jpg
But really, the best girl in the show is Akane. Mmmm...Akane...
Congrats, you surivived the angst-fest alive. *grins*
When I was lurking over different forums, I was always taken aback with the intensity of hatred towards Mitsuki. But then again, I'm on her side.
Although it would've been a better ending if Takayuki was skinned alive.... (yup, during the course of the series, I kept chanting, "Die Takayuki, die!". Spineless SOB.)
Fencedude: AWESOME :D *lol
Yes, you can score with Mayu and Ayu and the 2 nurses too in the game.
But that makes you (Takayuki) even more of a jerk since you decide to run away from both Haruka and Mistsuki to start a romance with a new girl. :P
It's has been a while since I last touched KimiNozo the game, but I guess the elements from the happy Haruka end in the game that's featured in the naime is that she become a picture book writer.Though I could be wrong.
I'd like to announce that today is Ayu Daikuji's birthday.
And in celebration I present...Ayu Ayu Mode!

Well that's quite interesting. :) (The Mp3 that is.)
