It's 12 episodes of charming romantic comedy fluff. For the ~$25 one can typically find it priced at, I'd say it's worth it.

yeah i bought it from rightstuf weekly special. 12 ep across 4 dvds in a digipak. the characters are likeable but the animation quality is so so. it's a light hearted romance with an open ended ending. 7.5 outta 10.

It's 12 eps and is available as an up-front cheap collection by CPM. The packaging is bright and suitably cute (unless you loathe digipaks or something, as some do) and the show is pretty good, for what it is. You won't see any new ground being broken, and it's not exceptional at any one thing (let alone at multiple things), but it does what we expect from its genre and does it well. It's cute and fun and, for the price, totally worth it. I never did catch the last few episodes (got licensed before I could), but I bought the set from TRSI at their last CPM sale, and it arrived a week or two ago, so I look forward to watching it all and seeing how it ends. It should provide some nice light fare when I feel like I'm in the mood for that.

And normally this would go in the recommendations forum, just so you know for the future!

Is this not the Recommendations forum? Did it get moved? I'm confused. [img]/images/graemlins/stunned0.gif[/img]

Nothing but praise for this show though. Simple but entertaining, and no melodrama to speak of, which I am very thankful for.

Well, I suppose it depends.

If you like light, fluffy marshmellows with a tiny
touch of chocholate sauce then go for it.

If you're looking for something big and beefy or hot
and spicy or intriguingly unusual, then maybe not.

Other than one unfortunately misplaced episode (which brought back bad memories of those hideous island and African dreck from Nadia), this is a very sweet, gentle, lighthearted show. I'd say it's worth a look.

I thought it was a fun show and when I get time, I'll rewatch it some day.

I did think the panty shots ruined what otherwise was a near perfect show.

I didn't think there was enough of Narue tripping people and smashing faces in with silver bats, but good stuff. It does differ slightly from the norm where the two people get together in the first episode, but other than that, lighthearted fluff it is.
