In an attempt to save this thread, I'll write a good opener in your stead.
I watched Midori Days (Midori no Hibi) about two years ago, and I really enjoyed the series immensely. The concept of a girl living as the right hand of the guy she has a crush on and their daily lives progressing was slightly odd at first, but after some getting used to, led to many endearing, cute, sometimes humorous, and very sweet situtations. The one thing that stands out to me about the series would definitely be the characters. I liked how the supporting characters besides the main characters Seiji (who has a reputation as a delinquent) and Midori (who mysteriously turns into Seiji's right hand) weren't just throwaways, as would be typical of a series with such a twist of events. The doll otaku (forgot his name) endeavors really made parts of the series, and Midori's interactions with him made me love Midori that much more. Seiji's classmate Takako provided an entire humorous episode which I really enjoyed, the flashback of how his sister Rin whipped him into shape was really something worth watching, and the little neighobor girl (forgot her name)'s determination is really cute. With Midori in the picture, everything becomes even more interesting, whether it turns into something competitive or whether it's just more satisfying to have Midori there watching as an idle observer. Seiji is much more than your average harem lead. He's bold and is neither conservative nor perverted. I can entirely understand why Midori likes him, he's one of the best leads I've encountered in these types of series. Also, his delinquent background proves that he's no pushover and he's no whiny Suzaku-esque "defender of justice" either, but he does definitely have a conscience and is above most delinquents. Midori really made the show for me. I really liked the contrast between the shyness she displays when she isn't with Seiji and her being herself when she is. Her determination and energy really make her a great character, especially when she tries really hard for Seiji. The spoiler[cosplay episode was one of my favorites, "Midori Police! Here to arrest your heart!" I found even more cute than "Uguu!" (Ayu from Kanon)]. I really liked how she was able to live her dream everyday; how before she would long to even say one word to Seiji, and now she can talk to him anytime she wants. I wasn't entirely happy with the ending [spoiler]her memories being erased felt like a bit of a copout[/spoiler, but in some ways I'm glad they stopped there. There really can be an opportunity for spoiler[Seiji and Midori to start a new relationship, especially since Seiji didn't forget anything and will be entirely open to Midori.]. The manga storyline after what the series animates got kind of silly and out of hand, so I think Mr. Tsuneo Kobayashi (who I really have come to admire because of his work on Twelve Kingdoms) picked the right parts of the series to animate. btw I don't really like Kohta, he's too much like any other character from any other series. |

For future reference, this is unacceptable. You need more substance in your posts, especially when you're starting a thread. |

Is it just me or does Seiji remind you of Ichigo from Bleach? I saw the first 2 episodes subbed at Otakon in 2005. It seemed really cute and I thought it was ok. My gf really liked it so I picked it up and we watched it. I was pleasantly surprised. It has so much cuteness in it when it's centered on Midori. The thing is it never seemed to be TOO cute. I thought the idea of Midori being on Seiji's right hand was a nice original idea. I think the length of the series worked very well too. It worked good as only a 12-13 episode series. Anymore episodes and it would've just felt like it was dragging on.

Don't bother. People need to learn to do things for themselves at some point. You can give suggestions to help people out, but if the case is apparent where users aren't even trying to put in the effort, I see no point in doing the work for them. If you want to carry your post over to your own topic, go ahead. |
