Pretty much the same comment each episode, alternating the last character with either a hostile one or a friendly.
    There's the idea that the 2 main characters have sex how's that possible in your average romantic school life anime? Well that one was pretty much at the border of adulthood from the start.
    Living with your parents after wedding: now way. All they want is the baby, that ep is a proof.
    I don't like Chris for the way she's drawn and the voice acting.

    [m.3.3.w] Itazura na Kiss 17

    New characters are introduced in this episode.I laughed a lot while watching this. I thought I was not gonna see the 2 characters from their highschool tennis club but its good that they made an appearance here just to tell us where they are now. Although its kind of a letdown Irie's mother did not make a scene (just a few and its not even funny)..she always cracks me up. Maybe when she knows that there are new girls attacking Irie we'll see her assisting Kotoko again in the most hilarious way possible...

    Yuko Goto's voicing of Chris is perfect. Can you imagine how hard it must be to absolutely murder Japanese pronounciation in that kind of cutesy voice? Then compounding it by pretending to use a Kansai accent. That's would be like faking a thick New England accent and trying to sound like an 12 year old, when you're actually Australian.

    As for eps 17, even though it was really cliche, I also laughed a lot at the, "She [Matsumoto] must be Irie's wife, it has to be someone incredibly smart and talented and beautiful!" while Kotoko was right there with them, stalking her own husband.

    At least now we'll finally see what happens when Naoki gets the same treatment that Kotoko always got when she was trying to get him.

    Itazura na Kiss 20 mkv 170Mb @ anirena

    I don't know how many of you guys are still watching.

    For once, we have a show that goes past the first love feeling and goes to the living with the one I love.
    Also the age is a little bit higher.

    Sure the scenari aren't top notch, but it remains quite watchable.
    Also I like the op song quite a lot and don't know why because there isn"t anything special to it, except I like it.

    The higher age of the protagonists and the shift to romances during college/career is a little more common in manga. Those are the kind of series that just don't get animated (target audiences of most anime is usually high school age). A 4 year time jump was a lot more than I expected though. I was thinking a few months or maybe a single year, like we saw during their high school and college years.

    I bet Kinnosuke and Chris have 2 kids by now. Irie's mother must be pissed!

    The scenarios were not quite as cliche back in 1990 when the series first started, but that's part of the reason I like the series so much. It's a huge throwback from series that are always about moe, ecchi, or excessive quantities of stereotype bishonen.

    M33w Itazura Na Kiss Episode 21 @ nyaatorrents

    Well, I'm not sure that convincing forcefully (or at least being so pushy) someone to have surgery is a road they should have taken. Somehow they are going a bit far in their journey in unknow lands...

    As soon as they revealed it was Non-chan, I skimmed the rest of the episode. I hated the last episode he was in, and as soon as they pulled the "such a nice kid turned into such an asshole" angle, I just jumped through it. He was such a boring character then, and he is again here.

    I've read way too much shoujo manga to want to see that plot device again. It's in practically every other series I've read. Though usually it takes place over an entire series.

    The next episode looks good though. Maybe we'll see a responsible side to Nurse Kotoko?

    sure that ep was annoying. Regarding next ep, my policy is to avoid preview since they are really misleading in most of the shows

    Another strange procedure @ the hospital.
    If a new surgeon is the only one present for an emergency operation, they should be greened by a senior surgeon, even if he/she is already on an important op.
    I don't know how it works in Japan, but I don't think those responsibilities are those of a chief nurse.

    AniDB lists 25 total, and it seems like the next episode is the final one. The fall season begins in two weeks.

    A nice "ending" to this series. Reminds me a little of Ai Baby, with the whole family living in one house.
