Any Honey and Clover fans here?

Post by karisama »

Morita has to be the funniest character in the history of anime, seriously. XDD  
I feel extremely sorry for Takemoto T_T And angry at Morita too..the girl of his dreams loves him but he abandons her for a year.
Is it just me or does Hagu happens to be a really shallow character? The series is supposed to be about young-adult love but Hagu's so childish. I wish she'd talk more.

I'm currently on episode 19 22 of the first season, so no spoilers please. (Morita's HOIIIII was hilarious XD XD)
Finished watching first series!

Also, I noticed some DC references so far [probably unintentional]

- Mayama's colleague's name is Miwako.
- One of the guys from the Hamadayama shopping district [can't remember his name] got married to a girl called Akemi.
- Movie 1's ending, "Happy Birthday", was used as an insert song in season 2
- Yamada Ayumi. Well, obviously. I passed it off at first, since Ayumi is a common name.
- Hachimitsu to KUROBA.
- Hagu's seiyuu is Kudou Haruka.

Okay I'm getting carried away xD

Also, what's your opinion on the first opening? XD XD XD I find that shrimp hand scary.

I also find it sad that there isn't any SUCCESSFUL relationship in the anime. :<

Ed: She's just my automail mechanic!
Hughes: Ah, so you've seduced your mechanic? Not bad, midget.

Morita fan here.
Spoiler:
Seriously, I wanna join in the crowd shouting SHI-NO-BU! at the park.  ;D There's also this amusement park concert where he sang some ode to money that was so hilarious.
Go ahead and watch season 2 as well. Definitely not a waste of time unlike many sequels nowadays.

I can't get enough of the ending "Waltz".  ;)

yessss huge fan of Honey & Clover here and huge fan of Morita as well! :D though my favourite character is the poor Takemoto. ;_; well since you haven't finished watching I won't say anymore except that you might not find Hagu so shallow anymore after the end (and if you watch season 2, as well). :) and i guess since it's meant to be slice of life, yes, not all the relationships will work out for sure (especially since there are so many love triangles here)

kudos to you for finding those coincidences! :P

and yeah I can't get enough of Waltz either. the opening video (season 1) is very addictive too :D

I love this anime!!!  I think all the characters are just great.  Even 1 time characters like "ham" senpai. 

I agree that season 2 is must watch~

LOL that sakura-watching festival was hilarious XD XD Morita's so unpredictable. Trust him to hold a concert for himself with flyers, spotlights, and everything when his graduate thesis is due. XD

You mean the sempai that appeared in the manga, who runs a farm? It was so funny when he left. XD Poor Mayama, Takemoto and Morita, they totally worshipped him XD

SHINOBU FTW <3

I really feel sorry for Takemoto too, especially since his dad died when he was a kid. I almost cried when Takemoto was taken to the hospital and had to repeat a year [although Morita's "I'LL BE BACK~!" was the funniest thing I've ever seen and cheered me up]

I just wish Hagu would grow up a little, there hasn't been much development from her other than the time she fell ill from peer pressure/went shopping with Morita/wore his brooch. I wish some of the episodes would be from her POV~

Yeah, the first opening and ending are beautiful, especially the instrumentals. I don't like the second ending too much, though.

Also, don't you just love the background music that appears whenever Morita does something stupid?
Po pa pe pa pe poo po pa pe..
