Summary: Finally....Kimagure Orange Road on DVD!
Review: This is the second movie from the popular "Kimagure Orange Road" series."Kimagure Orange Road" began as a 48-episode TV series which capture the hearts of many anime fans. The show features a family of ESPers: Kyousuke, the main character, his twin sisters and his non-ESPer father. The show revolves around Kyousuke's life at a new highschool and meeting two roughneck gangsters: Hikaru and her best friend (tough fighter and talented musician), Ayukuwa Madoka. Hikaru loves Kyouske who loves Ayukuwa but despite her feelings for Kyousuke, she holds her emotions because of her best friend. Then came the six OAV's which led to the emotional rollercoaster movie where the love triangle had to come to an end. The movie picks up years later where an older and buffer Kyousuke is a professional photographer who is nearly killed in Bosnia. Before he is hurt, he manages to warn Kyousuke (a few years younger) that he is going to get a major accident and to be careful. When the two get hurt simultaneously, the younger Kyousuke ends up in the older Kyousuke's timeline with an older Madoka and the return of Hikaru. How will Hikaru feel when she sees Kyousuke again? How will Madoka bring back the Kyousuke of the present? Also, what will be of the relationship between young-adult Kyousuke and Madoka? For one to truly appreciate this movie, I highly recommend you watch the TV episodes or even the OAV and then the first movie. People just watching this drama may or may not enjoy it if they haven't seen the previous episodes but to truly enjoy this movie, it is recommended that you catch up on the previous episodes. As for the DVD, I'm disappointed that ADV didn't include any extras. ADV trailers, different language tracks and menu doesn't count. Also, how about showcasing the beautiful art from KOR. They could of included a gallery. But aside from that, if you want to watch the second movie from a popular anime called "Kimagure Orange Road", especially if you seen the previous episodes, this DVD then comes highly recommended!

Summary: The pilot that made a nice end
Review: This movie makes a beautiful end to the KOR saga, which is a bit ironic because I got the distinct impression that it was meant to relaunch the series.
It isn't really necessary to have seen the TV series or the OAV's to understand the movie, there is enough background given to give the new viewer an idea of the love triangle that existed in the past, but I do think that some familiarity with the franchise would be helpfull.
KOR, from the series to the movie, has quite a bit of subtle detail, which is why a single error regarding the family name bothered me a little. If you haven't seen the TV series, then you won't notice so I won't say exactly what it is. It's not that important and doesn't detract from the plot of the movie.
I highly recomend this movie to anyone, but be warned, if you're new to KOR it may spark an obsession.

Summary: Kimagure Orange Road, A DVD
Review: Wonderful anime, this movie was brought to DVD. Kyosuke was hit by a car when he was 19 and supposedly was brought to the time 3 years after and he must go back if he is to survive. Great plot, but a little too much dialogue.
