Summary: One of the best Shoju series on the market!
Review: I've always loved anime, but never really liked Shoju (girls) anime before. However, this series changed my mind. It you enjoy creative animation, an intriguing story and in-depth character development, then KareKano (His and Her Circumstances) is for you! Gainax and Anno really raised the bar for Shoju anime!

Summary: The show that keeps you hooked, episode after episode.
Review: When I first saw this series it had been given to me as something I just had to watch. I personally had never even heard of Kare Kano, but I figured I might as well give it a try. I started the first episode and I was like, hmm this is pretty good, interesting story line, some humor too, so I kept watching. By the time I got to the third episode I was hooked. The show really is great, you're almost always left wondering what's next, sitting on the edge of your seat, intensly watching for what is to be the next major plot twist. It definitly delivers a great performance, from graphics, to the music, to the characters and thier plot. If you're considering this, I would definitly reccomend that you quit your hesitation and order this now. You won't regret it later.

Summary: A Great Highschool Comedy/Romance
Review: This is one of those rare anime series that is able to capture both serious moments of romance and drama one moment and still be completely wacky and funny the next. The best part about this show though is the characters. This show has some of the best character development I've ever seen. All of the characters (even the supporting ones) are explored well beyond just the surface. A good example of this is Tsubasa and Maho (neither of who are introduced in this DVD unfortunately), who start out hating the main character and trying their best to ruin her (although both in different ways). However they both have reasons for feeling the way they do and eventually they become friends. I'm really glad to see that this series if finally getting the commercial translation that it deserves (now if only we could get Hana Yori Dango as well). And for anyone who is interested in a funny romantic anime series, I then this DVD should not be passed up.

Summary: One of the most heartfelt series I've ever seen.
Review: This show was Gainax's follow-up to Neon Genesis Evangelion.. you could not *GET* a more unusual contrast (though Kare Kano does have hints of Eva every so often). The story is about Yukino Miyazawa, the "perfect" student who is loved by everyone.. except for the fact that she's really only acting in order to receive praise from everyone. Her attitude changes when she falls in love with Souichiro Arima, a TRULY perfect student.. along the way, Kare Kano introduces you to a variety of crazy family members and messed up friends, while dragging you through very realistic teen angst, true love, troubles among friends, and all kinds of emotion situations. This show should have been called "Character Development" - EVERY **SINGLE** character in the show seems to get one episode (or more) devoted to their life story and why they act the way they do. This is by no means a bad thing - you really can't hate ANY of the characters after finding out about them, even the really annoying ones *cough*Tsubasa*cough*. Besides, the animation is beautiful and interesting (it's a Gainax show, of course it's great), the music is perfect, and it made me laugh hysterically, sob (the episode about Yukino's father), and just generally enjoy myself. :) I cannot recommend this series more highly - though I will warn you: this show is about real life. No one has special powers, there are no giant robots or explosions to be found. In order to put this together, the director did many interviews with Tokyo high school students to get a real feel for their lives and opinions, and it shows. The characters are very believable and easy to love, and you will find yourself crying and laughing along with them. Do yourself a favor and get this DVD.

Summary: My Favorite Anime of All Time!
Review: Words cannot describe how much I love His and Her Circumstances. This series was responsible for turning me on to shoujo (girl's) anime, and I still believe it is the finest example of it's type yet made. His and Her Circumstances is the story of Yukino Miyazawa, a high school student who prides herself on being the number one student in every way. But this is only a facade. She is really just putting on an act, secretly putting all of her energy into seeming like she is the "perfect student". Her world comes crashing down when Souchiro Arima joins the school. He quickly begins to give her a run for her money, and becomes her competition. But soon, she realizes that she actually has feelings for him, and... well I don't want to spoil the story. His and Her Circumstances was created by Studio Gainax, who needs no introduction. As it was directed by Anno Hideaki, fans of Evangelion will note constant references to that series, usually hilarious, despite how completely different the two shows are. But the most amazing thing about this series is how experimental it all is. The animation is done almost in the style of a living comic book, which is something I have not seen before. Characters art switches at random from completely silly to serious and downright beautiful. One episode midway through the series is even done in paper cutouts on popsicle sticks! Of course, in the much later episodes, the studio began to run out of money, resulting in an abundance of still-frames, but this is only a minor complaint. Just as in FLCL (another essential anime purchase), I was constantly guessing as to what tricks the director would pull next. Beyond all of this however, The characters in His and Her Circumstances feel much more real than in your standard "Does he like me? Does he like me?" story. And as Arima's and Yukino's relationship progresses, their real personalities reveal themselves. There are a few great side stories too (my favorite involving the young-looking Tsubasa). Overall, I can't say enough good things about this series. It's a brilliant mix of comedy, romance, and drama, and my favorite anime of all time. Every anime fan must see it, and I think it's a perfect addition to any film library.

Summary: Very Kawaii
Review: Alright, I have to admit, I was very hesitant about this anime. But it turned out to surprise me. This DVD would be best for any romantic, who likes soaps. All in all, it was cute. To summarize, it's all about a self centered girl in High School, with a loving, but pretty weird family, who puts up a front to people acting like the perfect model student, but reverting back to her "comfortable" nerdy self back at home. Later, competition developes when a guy gets better scores on test, and overall is someone who is perfect in everyway. Ms. Miyazawa, can't say he's perfect, when she declares him her enemy in the battle of vanity. Still, she wasn't counting on love. Anyways, all in all this was a pretty cute anime, with bunches of comedy too. In conclusion, it's a pretty weird romantic comedy about 2 perfect kids that aren't so perfect. HAVE FUN!
