On the other hand, there are plenty of times where it goes more shallow, when Kasuga reflects that he maybe does, or at least should, like Hikaru. That's when I grew frustrated. When he was lamenting after Madoka while dating Hikaru, I didn't mind too much, but when he started mooning over both of them in a sense, he became a less likable character. I lost the respect I could have had when basing it on the "don't break the friendship" idea when it was made clear that maybe his fickleness was not nearly so admirable. The first movie, however, really draws on the deeper aspects. I think you're <i>really</i> going to enjoy it. The other movie is nice too, although much more like a really long episode of the series. The first is something different entirely.

And yes, KOR is one of my favorites, Mainly because of Madoka Ayukawa. Continue to watch the series, as within the randomness, there is a good amount of story left.(Keeps mum as the best part, the movie, is still coming up :P) Note 1- The Character designer of Maison Ikkoku(Around ep. 30) and KOR is Akemi Takada. So that could be partially why you feel that they are similar...
