]]> Comment on “Realism”, Endings, and Characters of Honey and Clover by Shiranui Skye http://omohide.com/409/realism-endings-and-characters-of-honey-and-clover/comment-page-1/#comment-41958 Shiranui Skye Wed, 21 Mar 2012 13:58:04 +0000 http://omohide.com/?p=409#comment-41958 Hi! I'm so glad to read this. And I completely agree! Honey and Clover anime has always been my most favorite anime of all time. Those things about Hagu choosing Hanamoto sensei rather than Morita or Takemoto is clearly explained by Mayama in the final episode of H&C II. Mayama said "It's about the purpose of life. Love is the reason for some, but not for others". And the reason of why Takemoto did not choose Hagu is explained very well in 9th episode of H&C II (which are veeeeeeerry good reasons from my point of view) Hi! I’m so glad to read this.

As for this movie, I found that it paled in comparison to the Natsume series, but with the excellent last season and the even so excellent ongoing season and the almost excellent first and second seasons (it shows that I am a big Natsume fan, doesn't it?) a 40 minute movie has obviously not equal prerequisites.

I would say the manga story is equal to some of the best Natsume stories in my opinion. I think the issue here is with this being a very short manga story, some padding was needed and I think that padding did make things feel a bit more obvious than the manga. Of course one benefit Natsume has over this story is Natsume and his relationship growth with others. We aren't going to get that type of development in a short story. But I think the story of Hotaru & Gin stands up to the very best youkai tales in Natsume. That being said I still think this adaption was very good all things considered and I thought the ending was just as poignant as the manga (maybe even more so with the music and acting).

So I think the length of <i>Natsume</i> is something I'll look forward to (even if it means that I'll put it off for a little while till I have time to marathon it... not like with <i>Nodame Cantabile</i>, where I have gotten stuck somewhere around episode 12, not because I don't like it, but because I'm pretty busy).

If you felt Hotarubi had promise, there is a good chance you may enjoy Natsume. It is essentially a more fleshed out collection of stories like Hotarubi, though with recurring main characters, and the best of these stories are quite moving. The series is quite long, but several of the fan favourites among the stories happen early on. Anime-wise, the presentation is also excellent (as I discussed in the review).
