Wow... I think I actually like Rumbling Hearts.

Of course was is even worse is saying that everything, including the accident itself, is Mitsuki's fault. Yes, she was involved with Takayuki being late, but that was his choice. Plus, Haruka could have chosen a different place to stand. So the only person who is actually to blame is the person who was driving the car (and even then, we don't really know the details).

I think the saddest thing for me personally about this series is that Mitsuki and Haruka lose their friendship.

I know you were not aiming your criticism directly at me. But I would just like to say, I do not blame Mitsuki for the accident itself. Anyone who does should realise that it is inherently unfair to do so. The thing is, Mitsuki blames herself. Even though Takayuki obviously holds no ill-feelings towards her in that respect, even though she could not have known, she still blames herself. It makes it impossible (for me, at least) to hate her.

I wholeheartedly agree with you about the saddest aspect of the Anime. In a way, the Anime was on the surface a story about a love triangle. But look deeper, and it was about how two best friends ended up apart. If ever I have wished for a Deus Ex Machina to come and reset a series, it was for this one. Not because the series squandered its potential, nor because I necessarily disagreed with the ending. But because it was too sad.

This is Anime, after all. Sad endings do not happen in Anime. Right? Right?

What I didn't like was Haruka's final decision. Whatever feelings he had for Mitsuki at the start, it had become clear that Takayuki really loved Haruka more. He was devastated after her accident, and I was really hoping that Haruka would forgive him once she got her memories back.

Did Takayuki and Haruka spoiler[ever sleep together? I remember a scene in episode two, where they had their clothes off and were lying on the bed. But, the impression I got was that they were about to start the act, and then Akane and the parents came home. So what actually happened?]

I knew that much, at least. But I feel as if I missed something, as there are people, who have posted here, that believe spoiler[that they actually did it.] Where is the proof?

Anyway, thanks for responding, Joe anime.

Then we have Akane - she just pisses me off at this point.

Well, whenever you do finish Rumbling Farts...er, I mean Rumbling Hearts, PJ, I guarantee you'll be bawling like a baby! Not like me, I was all manly and stuff, with no tears at all running down my craggy cheek.
