Miyazawa Yukino has always been a show-off. She's always wanted to be Number One, to be the very best in everything, to be adored by all others. Then one day, she meets her match: Arima Soujiro, who seems about as perfect as she strives to be. But no one is quite what they seem ... for whenever Yukino goes home, off comes the "ojousama" facade - and on go the headbands, reading glasses, and sweats. Miss Congeniality is in fact a conniving, petty con-artist with a streak of absolute nerdy bliss. Of course, Yukino isn't the *only* one hiding a secret, since Arima himself isn't quite what he seems either.
In her eager to become #1, she declares Arima as her archenemy, but then he declares his love for her ..

Categories

Asia Asia is the world`s largest and most populous continent. Comedy Anime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience.

Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy.
Earth That big mud ball that most of us live on. High School The upper-secondary education (not compulsory in Japan) covers the grades ten, eleven, and twelve. The students are typically fifteen to eighteen years old.

Anime centre on High School settings predominately: Plot/story-wise the coming of age is of interest - the students are almost adults (their bodies have matured, see ecchi anime) with more earnest, real-life problems.
Japan Last stronghold for humanity, if Tokyo falls, it`s all over. Tokyo tower will undoubtedly fall anyway. Original Work: Manga Manga is the lifeblood that drives the anime industry. Everything and its mother is based on manga. However! There are exceptions where the manga was not the basis for the anime.
It`s common practice to make manga adaptations of many popular anime, there`s a manga based on Evangelion, and two (one shounen and one shoujo) based on each of Escaflowne and Mahou Tsukai Tai. Also it`s quite common to release manga and anime versions of a story in parallel, for instance Nadesico and Shoujo Kakumei Utena.
Plot Continuity Consistency of the characteristics of persons, plot, objects, places and events seen by the viewer.

A single linear focused plot is highly continuous.

A truly random plot is highly discontinuous.
Romance Romance describes a story that deals with love between two or more characters typically also having an optimistic ending. School Life Since a large part of the anime audience still takes part in school life or is visiting college, it is only natural to choose a setting the audience can identify with, be it elementary, middle, or high school. For the older viewers a college setting with more mature real-life problems is appropriate. And since clubs take up so much time in the lives of students, these are obviously also important. Shoujo A style of anime and manga intended for girls which may have some crossover appeal to boys as well. Slapstick Slapstick humour is generally recognized by lots of physical abuse, horseplay and practical jokes. Also often seen are impossible situations, using sounds to illustrate impossible stunts that aren`t shown on-screen and to create tension for audience anticipation. Time: Present Somewhere between past and future

alternating animation style no description set yet awesome main character no description set yet boy meets girl A classical type of plot in story writing, where the story begins with a boy meeting a girl leading to romantic development between the two. More often than not the boy loses the girl later on and has to find her again. different yet interesting no description set yet experimental animation included no description set yet foster family no description set yet great character development A great deal of focus is given to the characters as they develop and mature their personalities and who they are or may yet to become. The methods are strong and persuasive, quite possibly with the intent of molding a certain view or feel of the characters by those watching.

These developments commonly focus on how characters act when alone, how any single character responds towards certain other individuals or how any single individual or group of individuals act and react towards any other individual or group of individuals.
great directing no description set yet great opening This anime contains a wonderful use of animation and/or vocals during the opening theme. great soundtrack The anime soundtrack is noteworthy. intact family The main character`s family is a so-called "nuclear family". Wherein both parents are alive and present in his or her life. This is actually relatively rare for anime, where "parental abandonment" is the norm. introspection The characters in this anime do not walk through life simply accepting how they are, but quite on the contrary constantly try to understand their own motives, feelings and reactions to the other protagonists.

This self-searching included the questions: "Who am I?", "What makes me tick?", "What do I want?", "What do others expect of me?", etc.
love "Love is in the air"... well at least in this anime it is. low-budget animation no description set yet popularity fetish no description set yet psychological no description set yet slow-paced The story - including its characters and events - develop slowly.

May contain a weak continuity of plot and/or character development.
strong female lead The lead female character has a strong personality and plays a part that isn`t the typical damsel-in-distress role.

This is the exact opposite of the "damsel in distress" tag.

A REALLY good Shojo about a relationship between a girl and a boy and how it evolves and develops through time. A bit angsty, a bit sweet, a bit funny and a bit serious. Must see.

Hum.... read the manga!

Well, this anime had it all to be a successful shoujo and it had a trump: a sensitive director capable of portraying depression and obsession in a very unique way.

Unfortunately, for reasons I'm not that sure, the director left his position in the middle of the show, leaving it to meet a terrible end.

A certain "I DON'T KNOW WHO"... someone very unrespectful and very discourteous >< insulted the author by presenting this shitty version that was aired.

Shame on the TV Team!

One of the best love stories I've ever watched. The down side is that Gainax went bankrupt in midstride and didn't finish it, so the last third is horrible quality and almost half the story one has to read on the manga

You know, it often surprises me how certain animes can completely change your opinion of them several times while you watch them. HAHC is one such anime.

At first, I thought it was just your average school anime, then, after a few episodes, I thought it was a lovely and original romance story. By the middle of the series, I was completely taken with it, thinking that it was one of the best animes I’ve ever watched (having seen well over 200 animes, such an impression is very signifi [...]

Kare Kano:

Introduction:

Yukino Miyazawa is what you can call the perfect schoolgirl in any possible way. At first she was very conceited and wanted others to respect ("worship" could be a better word) her. Then she met Arima, the perfect schoolboy in all respects. Her first instict was to defeat this arch-enemy of hers. However, people say that Hate is what`s closest to Love, and as you may have guessed, hatred soon t [...]

His and Her Circumstances was overall a very good series, but nonetheless had a few flaws which kept it from being a great one.

Story:
The basic premise of the story (two "perfect" students who end up falling for each other) was very interesting and worked well. However, every once in a while certain segments of the storyline seemed to lose focus or drift off a bit.
Also, there were just WAY too many flashbacks and story summaries, especially in the second half of [...]

(Writers note: If you read this review, RATE this review. Authors thrive on feedback, whether it be a simple happy face, or an in-depth critique.)

I`m a bit tortured as to how to go about reviewing this series. Quite frankly, Kareshi Kanojo No Jijou is a near flawless romantic comedy, up until episode 22, when the series suddenly loses it`s way. Because of the severe difference between the final 5 episodes and the 21 that came before, I`m splitting this review into two. The o [...]

Kare Kano (A.k.a. His and Her Circumstances)


Yukino had it all. Brilliant, athletic, popular and pretty, she was the perfect school girl with many friends and admirers. But then one fateful day she met her match: a handsome young man named Arima. Now, not only is he beating her at her own game, she`s becoming more and more dismayed to learn that she`s developing her first real feelings of romance. Can Yukino maintain her model student appearance, or will love ruin all her pl [...]

Yukino Miyazawa is what you can call `PERFECT`. She`s cooperative, nice, friendly, best in school in all classes, matured, class representant, good looking but still down to earth. She`s the most beloved girl at her highschool and enjoys it.
But at home her character turns into an almost obsessed girl, with glasses, sloppy suit only caring for her reputation in the outside world. To her, her only reason for existence is to be praised and adored by others. She learns and trains [...]

An old favorite of mine...nonetheless a zany creation from GAINAX.

Miyazawa Yukino is a smart, sexy, and high-class student at her high school. It seems that everything about her life is great - except for that damned Arima Soujiro! Turns out that deep down, Miyazawa is self-centered and arrogant about her life...oh, and nobody can over know the truth!

The story at first won`t make any sense at all. It begins with cheesy phrases and a lot of adrenaline from the quickly d [...]

KareKano is funny, I can`t say it any different, but it`s definitely worth it. The animation is lovely, switching true bishounen and bishoujo with crappy, funny characters - which indicates already the funny part. When you read this, you might think it looks childish, but it doesn`t. It is completely integrated in the anime and it has a funny effect without damaging the anime itself.

The voices for the characters are all good, or rather excellent and they match their characters pretty w [...]
