Video:
Like Part 1 and 2, it's a R2 DVD rip, so there are no pixellation, bluriness or grainy scene. The
graphic reminds me of Kodomo No Omocha. I still enjoyed the way they maked the character's faces
whenever they screw up or get embarassed by other. They really turn a sad scene into a joy scene or
a laughable scene.

One word describe Part 3 of Marmalade Boy: DISAPPOINTING
I was expecting way more than that in the last portion of the show. Some character were really
a waste so I don't know why they even bother putting a storyline for them.
The biggest waste of a character in Part 3 is Ann, despite putting her on, I though for sure
that they were gonna be a love triangle between her-Yuu and Jenny but it wasn't the case. So
you mostly see Yuu and Jenny together but even with Ann there, she doesn't go after Yuu because
he and Miki are perfect for each other. And in the end, she leaves from Boston without a
boyfriend. I didn't like the way they used her in Part 3, they should have put Doris or another
girl like Suzu from Part 2 and with that, it would have been fun to see how Yuu would react with
2 girls by his side.
Some other character were wasted were Ryoko (since she lost Namura to Meiko, they didn't have more
idea in where to put her next, the guy she works from part-time is not the perfect guy for her, they
end up with each other at the end but THEY NEVER HAD A INTIMATE MOMENT TOGETHER AND THEY STILL END UP
WITH EACH OTHER, YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME).Next is Suzu (I liked the way she tells Michael to be a tutor
but after that, nothing). Another one is Namura (He wants to marry Meiko bu her parents refuses the
relationship between them but they never show if they will except their wedding even do they are registrated
at a couple who got wed. And the list goes on and on (Miwa included)
I love the first few episode of Part 3 like when Yuu arrives in New York, the relationship goes
like this: Jenny loves Yuu, Brian loves Jenny, William looks gay and Doris ???, then at Episode 69
the relationship is decided between Brian-Jenny-Will and Doris. I still can't believed on how they
end up with each other (Jenny-Will and Doris-Brian), they have almost no scene between them between
the first episode of Part 3 (Episode 52) to Episode 69. When they finally get together, I said WTF ??
Really really really disappointing
I didn't like the way they handle the Miki-Michael and Kei relationship as well, I though some guy
would appear and take Miki but they decided to stay with Michael and returning Kei but that really
didn't help the storyline to get better. What a disappointement
I like the first few episode of Part 3 but then after that it falls COMPLETELY APART.
The last episode, Episode 76 was really good, many surprises in store, totally unpredictable
(some part at least), but they should have ended it in 52 episodes instead of 76. Like I said
before, some relationship makes no sense at all. Watch it and you'll understand why ???
Overall, Part 3 was not good compared to Part 1 and 2. I really enjoyed 1 and 2 but 3, disater
strikes. I couldn't wait for the show to end because they wasted a lot of character and I din,t
like the way they set up the relationship between character's. You'll see it to believe it
DON'T BUY THIS ONE, buy Part 1 and 2 if you want to see the ending buy it but it's not gonna worth
the money to see a good finish to something that started great, but it completely ruin in Part 3.
Ann deserves better in Part 3 after what she went through in Part 2. I HATE PART 3 and I would like
to say that Miki doesn't deserved Yuu at all since the beginning, Ann was a better choice for that.
Extras: Interview with the voice actress of Miki
Commercial for soundtrack and Laser Disc version
Scene not showned when Yuu meets Miki for the first time and how their parents will end up
with each other
Packaging: A shot of Miki in Yuu arm's on the cover, I really like the character's design inside
the folder. They should have put other character's on the cover since Part 1-3 has almost the same
cover. Well, that's life
