His and Hers Circumstances/Kare Kano appreciation Day






It's time to take a moment to appreciate one of the cutest 90s anime known around town. His and Hers Circumstances is a high school love story, placed in Japan of course, of two star students who become there real selves through the help of each other. Together they fight their former facade and inner demons while enjoying their selfless love that never dies out. through it all the become better persons, empowering one another with friendship and endearment. They go through troubling times like any other couple but last through unlike the rest of their student body, who's mass of couples have broken off before the summer. They find the best of friends, battle jealousies on the inside, desperation, and opponents ready to tear them apart.

Every episode has their hilarious moments but there is always a well balance between it and romance, which is what many watchers have always been hooked on. The animation is both silly and 90s sophisticated. Emotions are candidly shown through side animations and exaggerated facial expressions which make the viewing all the more of a joyful experience.

















It's a fabulous anime indeed. But i still have a bone to pick with it. The ending episode brings in new elements. There is a new love conflict that we never get to see the end of, the jealousy Arima feels is never solved between him and the "new" comer, and the play was never performed. I know Gainax meant to make another season, but decided not to because of "disagreements" but they didn't have to do their fans like that. What do you think?

Hello Jessie! Very cute blog you got here ;)
I love anime/manga as much as I love origami and you just made a review about one of my favorite stories! Kare Kano!
I can tell you that I cried, laughed, went "awww" you name it! I watched the anime after reading the manga, the manga it's quite long but it's worth the time! I recommend you to read it if you haven't! It's amazing!!!

Looking forward to your next anime review! ^^

thanks for the comment. i just realized it was here. i loved this anime series but i hated the ending. it stopped so ubruptly and left so many questions unanswered. I've heard of the manga but i don't usually read manga lol. i heard she gets pregnant or something. how is the ending in the manga different than that of the anime? i'm glad you liked my review, i'll have to do some more. the next one will probably be on "Paprika".
