I was at Borders the other day and saw an anime on vhs (subtitled) for $1.95 i really should have bought it but...

it was about some relationships and someones boyfriend or girlfriend getting ran over in a car accident or something. And some guy was going back to college or something. It was a movie and really want to find out what it was called since i cant remember?

Could you give some more details about it. It might be Love Hina because of the relationship and college but I highly doubt it. Try to give more details if you can.

I think it is KOR: Return to that day, which is a damn good movie from what I hear. Heck, I hear Tempest is a big fan of KOR. The one thing is, that is the final part of a huge story.

You're sure it's not Kimagure Orange Road: Summer's Beginning?

It might help if you could remember the box art.....

It is in all likehood Shin KOR aka New Kimagure Orange Road Summer's Beginning released if I am not mistaken by ADV. It is pretty good and stays true to the KOR original storyline. They did not use Akemi Takada as the character designer since they wanted to age the characters. The cels from the movie are pretty expensive but not as bad as the OVAs or the 1st movie. I should know I collect them. Smile

Although I should not, it helps if you have read the fan fics available online, check out Rob's SuperKOR paradise. Note, there are tons of broken links, however, if you google it, you should find active links to Shin KOR which include the translations and possible scans of the official version written by the creator of KOR, it came out in the mid-90s.

Overall I would DEFINITELY recommend also watching the tv series in its entirety, then the OVAs, the excellent first movie, I Want to Return to That Day and then rewatch the ShinKOR Summer's Beginning movie. After doing it in that order you will understand the dynamic relationships and grow with the characters better. Enjoy! Wink

Also based on the hit by the car detail, it might've been Boys Be as well. There was one episode that contained similiar occurances. Either way let us know if you like it! Laughing

Well, I finally got back to Borders and decided to pick it up since it was so cheap!(it was actually only a dollar)
I was reading the back of it later and it just hit me...this is a yaoi anime or whatever, called Kizuma! It is about two dudes falling in love or something. Even though i do not really want to watch an anime like this I will watch it and if i hate it i will just give the 1 dollar tape to my friend who I don't think will turn down any anime.
