WAtched the 1st disc of Hyper Police. And finally finished Maison Ikkoku. I was in such a hurry to get to the end to see how they do it (since I already knew how it was going to turn out), and then I was so sad that there wasn't anymore for me to watch.
I disagree with you Steve about KOR coming close to MI. MI lasted 96 episodes without becoming repetitive. KOR was good, but seemed like it had alot of filler episodes in the middle and seemed very repetitive towards the end. Plus, I didn't like the fact that they'd do weird stuff towards the end of episodes and then leave it like that and not explain how it was resolved for the next episode.
MI SPOILERS************
This is my take on MI. If I was Godai, I would've gotten tired of Kyoko's moody ass and gone with Yagami. She's basicaly like Kyoko was 5-10 years ago. So he could've been Yagami's "souichiro" instead of being jealous of Kyoko's Souichiro. He should've chose Yagami. That would've been pimp if Kyoko got played by both Godai and Mitaka at the end. I'd love to hear Steve's take on all this.
MORE SPOILERS*********************************(well not really)
Well KOR just had a great feeling to it. It was sweet and naive. The romance was done perfectly, and there is certainly that ambivalence when it comes to women. Emotions move back and forth.
Yagami is a little bitch. She gets on my nerves, and can't understand no. Kyoko doesn't have a "moody ass". She's a widow and therein afraid of new love. She wants to always remember her first love, but at the same time, she had feelings for Godai. It is apparent in the first 10 episodes that she likes Godai. She blushes when Ichinose, mentions him being a possible suitor while he is listening at the door. Between you me, Kyoko is a fine ass women. Yagami has got no back on her, and Kyoko certainly does. Not to mention, she's much more mature and in touch with people's feelings.
Anyways I'm looking foward to the R1's in July. I'll be picking them up and watching the excellent dub. VIZ throws in some funny jokes, that the original script didn't. Hilarious stuff. Also Ellen Kennedy as Kyoko Otonashi, is amazing. Can't wait.
Afterwards I'll be buying the R2's. Seriously though if no one has seen Maison Ikkoku, the HK set is incredible. The subs are awesome. Check my review of it. :mrgreen:
