yeah I saw this when it first came out and i agreee I would have rather had it that suzuka wasnt the focus.But I mean I don’t know if its just because shes the main character or what cause I seem to dislike the main choices in most shows these days, could just be me. The last choice I would say that I actually liked was in Shuffle! which really was just an average series overall. Anyway I saw this as a fansub as well and it sounds intresting that they rerecorded the op and ed I might have to get one dvd just to hear what they came up with.

The cover is really delicious only surpassed by some manga cover showing Miki. I almost wonder whether I’m similar to Yamamoto because from reading comments as far as I recall everybody seems to cheer for Honoka and despise Suzuka. Looks like girls like Suzuka are reserved for me and Yamamoto. I mean, Honoka is certainly nice and cute but that’s not the same or sufficient for being in love. Also Honoka seemed to be idealizing Yamamoto and not seeing him as the guy he actually was. I find this kind of “love” is always awkward and there will be regret later. Yamamoto didn’t idealize really Suzuka, so I found his affection more honest and his stamina (or was it stubbornness?) admirable. Even Miki couldn’t distract him.

Hm…I watched the anime before I started reading the manga…
I quite liked the anime even though it had its quirks, quite nice soundtrack also : ) - I LOVE the Aoi Field ed song -
But…I almost think it’s a bit sad that the manga continues to go on after the anime ending.
Becuase, now I’m getting pretty tired of it.
I love the art but I just can’t stand any more relation “fights” : /

Admittedly, I did not finish the anime, but I agree: Honoka >> Suzuka. Suzuka’s tsuntsun-ness really got on my nerves, and was a big reason why I stopped watching towards the end.
