--- Quote from: bobjoe on July 13, 2009, 04:47:15 PM ---Hmm... now you've got me thinking again... English Wikipedia only lists "cours" (with that extra (silent?) s in there), and "kūru" like you mentioned. I am not able to look stuff up in Japanese, so I can't find the page on the Japanese Wikipedia about it, but maybe the reason we determined it was valid was just because it was a valid romanization... "Cour" does seem to be the most common use, since I get the most relevant google results with it, so maybe I ought to switch to using "cour" or maybe "kuuru" now...

Ah, well, I probably didn't make it easier for you since I often lapse and simply write cour (where it should be cours, singular or plural). Cool is just... confusing though ;)

Yeah I found it odd that Tatsujin Recommended this too. But I'll watch it, and if i like it, i'll probably pick up the game too.
And don't Knock short series. W~Wish was pretty darn decent with 13, 12 minute Episodes. And the Opening song in it was fabulous!

Of the 4 13-ep/half-length VN-based series that aired in 2004 (Wind, W-Wish, HaniHani Operation Sanctuary, and Final Approach), I thought Wind was the best romantic drama, while Final Approach was the best romantic comedy. I'd put Wind in the same category as Da Capo and Gift Eternal Rainbow, as a series with "pervasive magic" that affects everyone in the characters' general area. There are some tired/clichéd parts, but it manages to put together some good drama when things get darker in later episodes.
As for what version to get, the SS release that I uploaded BBT is just fine. Plus, it's the most convenient way to get the DVD-only eps, which you definitely need to watch to fully understand things.
I'd certainly be up for a playthrough of the game, as I've never played it before.

Hmm... after doing a little more research, the VN itself also seems to be relatively short, so playing this would be a lot easier than that organized Clannad play through in the other thread.
Now the biggest barrier to me watching this is the fact that Anime-Planet, the site I use to track what I watch (over the more popular MAL because I don't feel like moving my list right now, although I may someday), doesn't have an entry for it! That's ok, though, since once I watch it I can take some screenshots and write a summary for it, and I will be able to submit that to the site for inclusion in the database.
So, yeah, I am thinking this sounds like fun after all.
Also, I hadn't realized there were so many anime of this length and format. I had previously done searches on Anidb, MAL, etc., for anime with a low number of episodes (4-8, approx), but it hadn't occurred to me to look for anime with half length episodes. I'm definitely going to be looking for more good anime with either this format or the 6x23 format...
EDIT: I have obtained this anime and I am watching it now. First impression is that the animation is laughably cheap. There is overly present CG that looks awful. I haven't seen any start of the story yet, though, so hopefully that will get interesting. I mean, once I have some more idea about what is going on, I will naturally like it better, right?

So, i finished this one after picking it up and putting it down 3 times over the past few months, i decided to put it to rest in the past 2 days.
I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5. It was ok, the animation really just kept me off balance. It would be pretty good one minute then the next look like shinny little plastic figurines. bobjoe is pretty much spot on with his depiction. The story was all well and good, there just wasn't much meat there. It left me feeling like there is something a little more to be desired out of this one.
I do have to say the premiss is really good, and I bet the VN is pretty good. I just feel it didn't trasnfer over to an anime very well in the way it was produced. I bet if you go through the VN it is much more enjoyible.
my 2 cents... beat me up later.
