Customer Reviews of His and Her Circumstances (Vol. 3)
Decent, but lacks in comparison to the Previous Volumes His and Her Circumstances (Kare Kano) is a wonderful show, but it has one major flaw - the incredible amount of summary used. In other anime like Cowboy Bebop this was eliminated altogether, and wonderfully entertaining filler episodes were used instead.
In Kare Kano, however, there is a summary at the beginning of nearly EVERY episode, and it begins to feel like they are mocking the viewer, as well as not having enough to fill in the whole episode. In this volume, there is a summary of the entire series from episode 1-12 in episode 13, but it doesn't stop there. The first half of episode 14 is also used as summary.
Don't get me wrong, though. The entire series as a whole is wonderful. There is wonderful comedy, drama and romance throughout the whole show, but the amount of pointless summary is discouraging.
My Absolute Favorite Anime of all time
Kareshi Kanojo no Jijyou, also known as simply "Kare Kano" to a lot of its fans is not only a heartwarming story of teenagers in love but of life as a teen itself. I dont know if it just struck a chord in me or if it really is as good as I feel it is but I have chain watched this anime 5 times now and I still get emotional when the Two main characters finally connect on a physical level, or when they break down. This is one of the few anime that can make me cry on a regular basis and have me begging the characters to see what the other means.
Quite possibly the culmination of the work that anime started many years ago. It touches on all levels of interest and ends with an anticlimactic episode that takes place on a paper-scale. If I remember correctly the studio ran our of money creating this. But then again some of my favorite movies end the same way (think Monty Python - Holy Grail) you know what I mean =)

Mid series hits near bottom ground...
I am a big fan of this series, and of Gainex in general, but I was very disappointed in this DVD. The first 2 episodes focused on Tsubasa, and her opinion of her father's new bride to be. Since a bunch of new characters had already been introduced in Volume 2, I was already used to having the focus shift away from Arima and Miyazawa, and this was no big deal to me. However, in volume 2, the new characters and story lines were introduced into the main plot, where in volume 3, the new character/story was held completely separate from the overall story. (Miyazawa wasn't even in the 2nd episode at all). This wasn't necessarily terrible. I did enjoy the two episodes, and I do like the new character...Tsubasa's soon to be stepbrother. I just thought that the flow and the continuity of the first and second volumes and been badly interrupted.
The filler episodes, however, I despised. I've never been a big fan of re-caps, but I thought these were just horrible. First of all, instead of just one episode, the recap took an episode and a half. Secondly, the recaps were filled with the exact same footage from earlier in the season; but mainly just episodes 1-2. So it wasn't really a montage of EVERYTHING that had happened, just the stuff in the very beginning. Ugh!
Luckily, I have to say that I have started watching the 4th DVD and it seems to pick back up (now that Arima has come back). I'll keep my fingers crossed for the rest of the series!
