His and Her Circummstances (also known as Kare Kano), what do you think of it?

[Reikou]

I saw the first DVD of Kare Kano recently and I loved it! I actually think the dubs are better than the subs which is really rare! Well, I was just wondering what you people think about it if you've seen it.

Oh, and the creator of Kare Kano is the same as Evangelion. That guy is a genious!

It's definitely Anno-san's biggest change in style from Evangelion, but I found that the two were very similar. I absolutely adore His and Her Circumstances.

If you look closely and pay attention to the details of the characters' relationships, you see that the romance in Kare Kano is very similar to that in Evangelion. Two characters love eachother, but there is a sense of rivalry and even enmity between them. Yukino knows that she loves Souichiro, but she begins to question if their relationship is truly necessary. Even though she loves him, she still feels angry when he scores higher than her in tests. The character of Yukino also amazes me. In a way similar to Misato and Asuka, she hides her true self from others, afraid that she won't be accepted the way she truly is.

Even though it is very similar to Eva and other works by Hideaki Anno, I found that Kare Kano was unique in so many ways.

Sorry that I rambled on about stuff that everybody knows, but I really agree with Reikou. This is an anime masterpiece on so many levels, and it deals with character relationships in ways that only Anno can present. If you enjoyed the romance and relationship elements found in Evangelion, you'll be sure to love this series.

Hehe, again, sorry for not making much sense. :spin:
