Shuffle (TV)
Genres: comedy, drama, romance, supernatural Themes: bishoujo, demons, ecchi, fanservice, gods, harem, human experimentation, school, unrequited love, Yandere Plot Summary: When two doors are discovered in an ancient ruin, the gateways to shinkai, the realm of the shinzoku (Gods) and makai, the realm of the mazoku (Demons) are irreversably opened. The races of human, shinzoku, and mazoku come together in the mortal world and nothing will ever be the same. One day, two new families move next door to a boy who had previously been living a very peaceful life. In one house lived the family of the King of the Gods, and in the other lived the family of the King of the Demons. Both families had one daughter whose single wish to live next to the boy they had fallen in love with years ago has just been fulfilled. Also living with the boy is his childhood friend. With these three girls vying for his affections, the boy finds that his new life filled with despair, jealousy, and just a little hope is beginning. ---------------------------------- I'm only up to episode 13 which starts to deal with Primula's arc, but from what I got in the later episodes (I'm just going to touch on these points) spoiler[Sia has a darker self, Kaede's new developement ungodly shocked lots of the people, and Rin finally makes a choice (like hell I'm mention who it is). That's right, the last part actually happened which is almost a rarity in a harem series considering most of them ended in being inconclusive. ] And I thought this series is going to end up sucking. Boy, was I wrong.

Shuffle! did get much better in the past few episodes. I really like the development of the characters and spoiler[ I can't believe Rin-kun finally picked a girl. The whole past of Kaede and Rin also intrigued me quite a bit. ] Overall the series has developed quite a bit on the whole and I can't wait to see if it actually ends in a reasonable manner.

It's not just you it did just kick it up a notch. Rin and Kaede's past was a real shocker for me. I'm really enjoying the series, personally, as well.

Let's not forget the best part: in a manner very different from other harem anime, we have Tsuchimi Rin spoiler[not only actually picking a girl well before the end of the show - but also berating himself for being a wimp and obliviously toying with the affections of the other girls. And doing something about it.] That's not exactly something you see every day, in harem anime.

Ah but Tsuchimi Rin is screwing it up, everybody knows you cant go for the Harem route till you get all the girls in a Hgame
I'll have to agree about it getting more interesting tho. |

I just DLed the first ep last night--I thought it was a standard game-based harem comedy show, but these kinds of posts are rapidly changing my mind. From what I saw of the first episode, it did look cute, albeit with the good old-fashioned "parents dead in an accident" scenario, but multiplied by 2!
 . At least watching all these series, including To Heart 2, has finally taught me the word in Japanese for "childhood friend, "おさななじみ" [osananajimi], though the kanji escape me at the moment. (Lol, almost typed "moe ment" there.)
EDIT: Just watched through episode 20 last night, and wow, this is some good stuff. Especially since Kaede spoiler[isn't exactly the nice, sweet, perfect, Sakuraba Aoi type of "I want to be a good wife for you, ****-sama" character, and] actually has reasons for acting the way she does. Still, I can't help but think that the character design for Primula was lifted from somewhere--compare the images for yourself and see

Feel free to add it into Lexicon, along with tsundere, a trait often associated with osananajimi. However, state the terms of your "Transfer of Copyright" form first. |

I have just seen Episodes 19-21. spoiler[DEAR GOD!!! I haven't been sweating like this since Elfen Lied with Kaede being a bishoujo psychopath. Her past was really creepy. Though I have to say, I love the fact it ended with mutual terms between Rin and Kaede, and the fact Rin chose the girl I liked......oh you know who it is!
 ]
On to episode 22. Man, I wonder how this series is going to end. 
EDIT: spoiler[And episode 22 ended with an EVIL CLIFFHANGER!] 
Now I can't wait! |

For me things picked up at episode 12, and by 19 I was totally absorbed. Hopefully I'll be able to watch 22 tonight.

Episode 23, SECOND TO LAST EPISODE!
spoiler[Two important things that's worth mentioning. Ama, the hot MILF, finally takes off her cat hat, and........I bet you can guess.
Asa's sickness has been revealed, and it's all because of her mom (not to blame her or anything )]
Damn, I don't know what type of ending I want.
