I've just finished to watched the whole serie... which i think is really good....The story seem a little like evangelion, but there isn't lots of evolution concerning the main char Ryu.... he stays almost the same throughout the whole serie which makes the serie a lot more interesting. Harriet is sooo cute!!! But the ending left me confuse a little though...
What happened to guenevere and how come.... did they explain it somewhere???
And I would also like to ask what do you think of Harriet and Ryu?
*** the music was great by the way i love that song that they keep singing... i'll probably buy the soudntrack
I can't recall every bit of the series as I have seen it years ago, but I do remember watching all of the series and feeling a bit disappointed.
Now looking back, I don't think the disappointment came abruptedly. I think I was disappointed since episode 1 or 2, when it was so predictable that the main character would go 'insane' on a path of revenge and only find it empty at the end (at least my brother and my roommate don't like it when I talk in movies about the plot: i hit it on the nail more often than they would have liked. Or maybe they just don't like people talking in movies, boohoo).
I remember not liking the frankenstein's monster allusion, nor the plot twist at the end that was all to obvious: it resembled many stories I have read/watched before, one of them being a star trek movie.
Still, I watched all of it... that was the strangest part. I wasn't that entertained, yet I kept going. On a similar note, I also watched all 39 episodes of Nadia in one sitting...
-- from the Masochist Journals, entry 173
j/k.. if I were who I am now, I would hesitate watching this series: the story developed too little to have lasted 26 eps.
I agree on the fact that the story have little development...But i was actually very interested to see how Ryu struggle between love, hate, obsession and remorse.... this is not a masochist point of view... but simply a better way to actually enjoy the serie to it fullest...
It was predictable as you said that Ryu will enventually walk down the path of vengeance... But everytime he got the opportunity to kill Frank he end up saving him...The hatred he bear for frank because of Maki accident... is it stronger than the sympathy he feels for Frank saving Harriet numerous time??
The main char psychology was very confusing and kinda blurr... and although slow the main char development was interesting.... maybe that's why you watched the whole serie even though you didn't like it all that much.... because you and I just wanna see how he will get through the end...
I know that the ending itself is kinda cliche.... with frank sacrificing himself to save the world and everything, but i dont really care since my main interest was in Ryu, Harriet, Maki and Guenevere... which bring me to a few let down of the serie...
I really would have like to see how Ryu and Guenevere deal with each other now that everything is clear...
I would have like to see Harriet psychology through those last 6 years... how she end up wanting to meet Ryu once again so much.... what brings her to this state of mind??
I would have like to know why the heck Guenevere end up dead??
They made a special episode on Sue but why not on Guenevere which had a way more interesting background???
Well... so yea the serie was slow and predictable... but in overall it's a really nice serie if you actually spot out all the fun and confusing elements in it

This feels like a show that wants so badly to be deep.― Let me be up front about something: I didn't enjoy the first season of KamiErabi. Its three cardinal sins were poor writing, characters who made no sense, and rigid CGI.
