I´ve finally finished Honey & Clover !♪
... looking back this series was really a surprise ! It´s a really, really good and cute series that casts a spell on you ^__^
I think you really can´t DESCRIBE what this series is about or what is good about it. You have to see and experience the whole atmosphere for yourself !!!
The surprising thing for me was ... that I really liked season 1, it was nice ... well the last few episodes where getting on my nerves ... too much of Takemoto on his bike ^^; ... (don´t get me wrong ! I like Takemoto-kun !)
But the 2nd season was just too great !!! I didn´t expect that ! The series was going in another ... more adult-like direction, don´t you think ?
<~ Takemoto + Morita ... I like the sky colors in the background ! (*-*)
Watching the relationship between Yamada and Nomiya-san grow .... that was just fair and beautiful !
I really came to like Nomiya-san ! ... at first I didn´t like his playboy-like appearance, but he changed a lot, don´t you think ? I hope they will get together some day ^___^
A relationship I personally was not SO interested in was the one between Rika and Mayama! I can´t tell why exactly ... perhaps I don´t understand there relationship that well ^^; ....
And there were times when I couldn´t stand watching Yamada cry because of him (x_____x) .....
On to the last episodes: (please read this only when you´ve already finished season 2 !!!)
There was a surprising turnaround in the second half of season 2 ...
... that was when Hagu-chan injured her hand ! It was really sad, wasn´t it ?
(although I must admit that I thought that Hagu-chan is whining TOO much .... I mean ... okay yeah so her right hand won´t move properly ... so what ? if she REALLY wants to draw, she should try to use her left hand .. there are even people that can draw with her toes ! XD)
.. but I didn´t expect what happened after that ... I was soooooooooo glad to see Morita again ^^ ... (because he got me .. he TOTALLY got me ... jeez ... it´s been a while that I liked a character THAT much (@_@) ....) ...
that´s why I wasn´t that glad when he kidnapped XD Hagu-chan ;___; .....
... but what happened AFTER that was even more surprising !!!! ... Hagu-chan chose Shuu-chan !!! (O________O) ... well, I don´t know what you guys think about that, but I REALLY was touched and LIKED that outcome !! (;___;)
(inner voice:
Morita-san is ALLLL mine now !!! XDDDDDD)
I also liked the fact that Takemoto and Morita were ... quarreling about their feelings ... and about the relationship between Hagu-chan and Shuu-chan !! XDDDD It was soooo funny and Morita was almost like his old self again ^__^
<~ both were rejected by Hagu-chan ... they drank the whole night .. finally waking up ... not knowing if it´s sunset or sunrise ! XDDDDD
<~ Morita´s always eating other people´s food ! XD
Faitooo, faitooo !!! XD
Morita: "Do you like her ?"
Shuu-chan: *blushes* "Y... yeah ... I DO LOVE HEEEER !!!"
Everyone on campus: *staring*
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
.... so basically I love the end of the anime series ^__^ ... especially the last scenes were TOTALLY cute .... Hagu-chan coming to the train station ... and she gives Takemoto-kun a farwell-present .... ;___; ... Takemoto-kun hugs Hagu-chan one last time ... and then the train starts to move ... later he opens his present: It´s sandwiches ... with honey and a four-leave clover ! (that was so heartwarming !! ;___; .... )
Some random notes:
What do you think of LEADER ? XDDD (= the dog) .... who names a dog like that ? XDDDD ... but there were some funny scenes with him, nee ?! XD
I TOTALLY liked the special where Miwako (?) bought one shirt after another for (WAAAH what was his name again ? XD) ... to embarass him .. but he always was in a fashin magazine after that ! XDDD and Miwako got more and more pissed XDDD !!!
Students drooling over every tiny bit of MEAT ! ... I know that XD ... it was the same with me ... if you´re a student .. meat is a rare meal XDDDDD
Job-hunting is difficult ... I liked the fact that they used this as a topic in the series, too !
Yamada´s fanclub is the BEST !!! XD
I wonder if Hagu-chan´s a mouse ore a hamster !
Morita is DEFINITELY a money-liking, food-stealing long-run student, but I NEVERTHELESS adore him ! XDDD (one of the few characters that are NOT really younger than me ! XD YAY !!!)
So, now I have to go a bit crazy about Morita-san !!! XDDDDD .... (you are not allowed to ignore this ! XD)
Isn´t he just too adorable + gorgeous + cute + *drool* + handsome + great + hungry + moneyliking ape + XD .....
Oh before I forget: I´ve seen the manga today at the trainstation ! So it´s out in Germany !!!! I didn´t know that ^^; ... should I buy it ?! ;__; .....
P.S.: screencaps were made by me
