Episode 5

Ayu's release of Episode 5.

Dunno how many people have kept watching this, but I'll post a list of the missing Lunar subs just in case:

Episode 3 - Lunar
Episode 4 - Lunar
Episode 5 - Lunar
Episode 6 - Lunar

This is kind of strange series. Not amazingly by any account, but somehow the people feel very real. And for some peculiar reason I like the character of the male lead, even though he's like a zombie much of the time. But unlike in many animes he doesn't behave as if he didn't want or didn't have the courage to try to get anything, he just doesn't often know what to do, or tries it the wrong way. Yeah, the male and female leads are very nicely different, which brings a lot of dynamics to the show. And also most of the minor characters are really good.

Despite the half-lenght episodes this series works surprisingly well.

And the show goes on...

Episode 7- Lunar

It's a really nice episode with a good atmosphere. The main characters finally became honest to themselves and to each other.

Only two more episodes to go. It really is just a small love story...

[chobits1217]

just 2 more episodes!?
sigh...i really like this show, just watching it warms my heart, and the characters are really cute
i am expecting a nice happy ending

[Harima Kenji]

couldn't agree with you more
even though it doesn't have a very good story or something like that, the atmosphere is really good, and it makes you want to watch more of it.
Too bad there are only 9 episodes of it..I'd really like to see more of it..
Edit: Also funny to see that all the episode titles are movies that Audrey Hepburn played in.. didn't notice this until the title for ep 8..

Episode 7 kind of odd - the only episode yer man didn't get smacked for trying it on with yer wan (brain gone dead, nameless).

[Kraco]

One more to go after this one:

Episode 8 - Ayu

However, I didn't much enjoy this episode. That's just my personal view, as there probably weren't any technical shortcomings. But Matsumaru's behavior was so cheap and mean that it made me angry. Some inferiority complex that guy has... I didn't see it earlier, I just thought he's kind of slow and somewhat indecisive (and zombie), but he certainly has some problems.

Well, he has one more episode to shape up, or Aka should just dump him. After this episode, I would accept either conclusion to the story. Despite the beautiful ending of the 7th episode.

Episode 9 - Ayu

Just finished watching this episode - decent enough episode, few amusing moments.
Ending was fairly stereotypical of western productions.
All in all enjoyed series, nothing out of the ordinary really.

[Kraco]

The last two episodes broke this series for me. Until then I had really liked this for various reason I have mentioned before. But like seanos said, the last twist that began with the previous episode and concluded in this one was too much a bad cliche. It's not like this series had had amazing amounts of originality in the first place, but it had used the elements well, and chosen the right elements. I wish the end had continued that trend.

Well, despite the last two episodes, it was a decent series altogether. Certainly worth watching.

For those interested, here are:
Episode 8 by Lunar
Episode 9 by Lunar

[Darknodin]

Episode 7.5 (although it says 8 in the intro)... by yoroshiku.
kinda funny, but always cool to see the characters again.

[Ryllharu]

I did sort of like the conclusion with the lady from accounting. The original airings never got back to that. It really wasn't pivotal to the overall plot, but the closure is nice.

It's also nice to hear Aka's voice again.

[Kraco]

Aye. It was nice to hear Aka's voice again, but unfortunately the last eps already got me pissed off with Matsumaru, and this only added fuel to the flames. Damn that guy is a cheap weasel.
