spoiler[YOU MISSED MY POINT. What I was saying was that, in the game, Takayuki seems to run around having sex with bunches of girls, and it's all just self-contained side-story type stuff, but when Mistuki bangs someone else, well, then it's a major event in the main plot. I'm finding the illogic of this apparent double-standard hard to swallow. The only interpretation that smoothes it is over and preserves suspension of disbelief is that Takayuki's just a jerk, which is just as bad in terms of maintaining narrative credibility.]
spoiler[But when Mitsuki is shown reading about Akane's victory in a swimming competition, she's wearing the ring Takayuki got her when they were in high school...the one she left behind her when she walked out. The “high school fantasy” angle was covered in Haruka’s last scene with Takayuki, on the beach. That’s something I really liked about KGNE. Sometimes things just don’t work out. Not to mention that Japanese romances seem obsessed with cloying cuteness about promises and childhood love and crap, I was really glad to see one not end on such a sugary note. It's especially satisfying since it happened to a total moe type who looks like Cardcaptor Sakura.] |

Does he just randomly bang everyone in the game, though? I haven't played it so I wouldn't know, but I thought in those kinds of games the main endings involve banging only one of them, after developing the relationship. |

It depends on the type of game. Most titles that get adapted to anime are of the "true love" variety (minimal sex that's usually limited to the end after a confession). However, KGNE wasn't a "true love" game. The original was actually a cross between a hardcore sex romp (includes stuff like BDSM and sex slavery) and a soap opera. Normally, sex fests don't have much of a story, but this one did. |

"Random" or not doesn't matter. He's banging other chicks then just sliding back into the main love triangle; none of these extra girls have endings, you know. It's hard to take him seriously under those circumstances. And I can't tell for sure, having not played the game, but it's highly probable that the player can have Takayuki bag several or all of the available side girls on a single play-through, so it does give the impression that he's running around. |

Not exactly...the type of game KimiNozo is is left up to the player. The option to hump anything that moves in the game is there (albeit somewhat more difficult than you think), but the stories branch off based upon the player's decisions as Takayuki. For example...if you do attempt to go around humping anything that moves, then you'll probably hit one of the many bad endings which result in various things that most people don't even expect KimiNozo to have, like MAJOR GAME SPOILERspoiler[Mitsuki becoming a full-on sex slave or Haruka becoming Takayuki's mistress while he is with Akane]. The crux of the game is to stick with one girl and show as much attention to her while almost ignoring the other major interactions to arrive at the good endings. So in effect, in the game it is not Takayuki's indecisiveness that produces the story, but the player's choices and actions.  I should also note, that every major character, a few minor, and one non-existent in the anime all have endings...with most of them containing at least two.
