Rumbling Hearts?

[Hideki 13]

On my quest for a good romance/comedy (see other thread) i came upon this little series. I first thought of it as just another game turned anime show so i shrugged it off. But after seeing some reviews on it i thought that i should maybe try it. Has anyone seen it or knows enough about it to give me a reason to buy it or not.

I personally think you would enjoy Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien. The show is mostly a serious romance drama, while it does contain its moments of comedy, like Akane asking Takayuki if he's going to eat her sister and of course Ayu and Mayu. You might find Haruka and Mitsuki annoying at times however, based on their actions that they take during the show.

I only saw a few episodes years ago & don't really remember much, but it isn't the kind of romance I like. I prefer sweet & charming romance, but this one just seems like a tragic soap opera. Correct?

Buy the rest of Maison Ikkoku already!!! now thats great romance that actually makes you feel good.

I wouldn't really classify Kiminozo as Romance Comedy. It's Romance Drama, with a small amount of comedy thrown in for good measure. I liked the series well enough, but it's not my favorite, as I prefer more cuter/sweeter series, same as Levon.

As far as romance drama goes, I think REC is a lot better than Kiminozo because it's intense and full of drama, but doesn't have as much of the "damn this pisses me off" kind of drama.

seconded. Coming from a person that still hasn't finished buying the series I suggest you just finish it

I can't say I really remember all of REC too well, because it didn't leave a lasting impression on me at all, but I liked the drama a lot more in KGNE than REC, not to mention I didn't really care for the characters at all in REC. The show was a bit too short in my opinion too. It was like what... nine twelve minute episodes right? Which came out to be about your average five episodes. I wouldn't know really though since I haven't read the REC manga or whatever (nor do I really care to), but the show might had been something more if it wasn't so short, but there just wasn't anything special about it that I can say would make me want to watch it again. It was an average show to me.

I liked REC, but I agree it was too short. However, J Dude the manga is much better. KGME is a better series than REC as far as anime series go, but comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges . . . .

I thought REC was pretty decent. The DVD special was god awful though. The episode fit so out of place.

I agree. I finally got my hands on episode 7.5 or whatever the DVD special was and regreted watching it. It left a bad taste in my mouth. Like Coca Cola, only with a longer bad aftertaste.

I personally enjoyed watching Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien. I watched REC many months ago, it's alright. Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien is better than REC because Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien have better drama than REC have.

I hope that's your personal opinion because I don't think REC was going for the drama route at all. REC was pretty much a straight forward romance with no ******** in the middle.

[gameoffreak8]

Well, I looked REC on ANN, and I noticed the genres: Comedy, Drama, Romance, Slice of Life

REC is too short, each epiodes have 12 mins only, and I am not sure if REC was the straight forward to drama or not.

You weren't quoting me, but I think REC was chock full of drama. I think I liked REC better than Kiminozo because I could relate to it. I actually had a relationship where I lived with a girl, and I went through a lot of the same crap the couple in REC went through. Kiminozo had a different kind of drama for sure, but I would still put them in the same category, moreso than I would pair up Kiminozo with something like Ai Yori Aoshi or Love Hina.
