HanaKimi SP!
No spoilers here. I promise. Just random thoughts.
1 - Nakatsu got hotter. And goofier. And Nakatsu-ier. I can not explain how this pleases me. And also... anyone else think his voice sounded a bit different?
2 - Sano. Okay, really? I'm pretty much 'meh' over Sano. Nakatsu stole my heart and never let it go. It still breaks me to think how much he loved her, boy or girl, and it never made a difference. I can wax poetic about the bitter truth in Nakatsu's love for Mizuki for ages. Eons, even. But #2 is about Sano. So back to the show: Sano=Meh.
However... Sano Goofy and confusedled? HOT. And sweet. And really really... makes me warm and mushy inside.
3 - I forgot how much I missed the soundtrack for this show.
4 - I forgot how much I missed the absolute CRACK of this show. THEY THREW A WEDDING FOR A DOG! And that's not even the tip of the iceberg.
5 - Julia's wig bugged me to NO END. OMG!SCREAM! But she and Mizuki cuddling on the bench? Kind of hot.
6 - Mizuki. Kind of really...I like her because she's the lead and all. And she definitely has some nice qualities. Like her eyes. And um... being their for her friends. And determination. And guts. But...yeah. I really have nothing to say about her.
6.5 - What really made me love this show, other than Nakatsu, is that beneath the crazy, there really was this deep abiding friendship between Sano and Mizuki and Nakatsu. Not to mention the dorms themselves. Any time that was the focus, my heart kind of ached a little.
7 - The crackiness. OMG.
8 - How much do I LOVE that Other-Team-Track-Guy got a scene! A scene that was made of WIN no less. This show doesn't skimp on the gay. Please, more. Take a hint from Arashi and throw in some RAINBOWS!
9 - Wait, no... really. Please. More.
As much as this was fun and cute in places, I think, it still leaves me a little hollow. Maybe because I wasn't ga-ga over the Mizuki/Sano or I'm still just not buying into a show being only 12 episodes EVER (unless you're Gokusen or HYD). I don't know exactly. I just feel very... unfufilled.
I don't really know what more I would want, really. Mizuki to end up at the girls high school? Sano and Nakatsu to go to Uni in California with her? Mizuki to somehow be allowed back into the all boys school for her senior year and more crazy hijinx?
None of that really rings true.
And maybe that's the problem. This show was so entirely off the wall (except when it wasn't) that the reality of her being caught and forced to leave is like this bitter pill to swallow when all I really wanted was a warm and fuzzy happily ever after.
What's up with that, Japan? You fail.
10 - I want fic now. Please. Fic about Nakatsu getting over Mizuki. Or not. However you interpert things. I may attempt this. I probably will, actually. I just don't think it will be warm and fuzzy-like. Because it really still hurts that he could be so in love and so giving and so perfect for her and it didn't matter.
Which, okay, I know happens in real life. And I know that it's very much reality. BUT THIS SHOW WAS SO NOT IMBEDDED IN REALITY. WHY MUST YOU BREAK ME LIKE THIS, JAPAN?! WHY?!
11 - Somehow, I have turned the awesome happy joyful thing that is HanaKimi SP into a personal angstfest. Gomen. I don't even know. I really haven't had a show affect me (months later, no less) in such a resonating way. I can't seem to let it go.
12 - Thoughts? Feelings? Random waves hello? Bueller?
