@Blissmo: aw, me wants a sister like Murasaki too~! X3 and, more Shinkurou and Murasaki flashbacks is good~

@Ryan: I’d like to think that the Aishiteruze Baby manga is so much better than the anime, if only because of the anime’s subpar (and malnourished-looking) character designs I haven’t watched the anime yet, but found the anime <33 too.

And yes, go watch Kure-nai. NOW!

@Owen: and I shall hope that the parallelism is indeed right! I don’t want to suffer from another heartbreak from setting certain expectations for a show x_x

@Koji Oe: such a shame that I didn’t watch Baccano T__T One more anime to add to my watch list!

and ehh… I thought the responses to Kurenai from Japan was good ?__? guess I was wrong x_x

@Dando008: Shinkurou will embrace the dark, and see the light! I have full faith in Murasaki!

@Tess: aww, glad to know that you were moved as much as I was, or even more! ;___;

This show is amazing indeed!

Yay, someone else who cried already! I was wondering if I was the only one that moved… I’ve cried for all 3 episodes of Kure-nai so far. ; 3 ;

I fell in love with this series so fast watching episode 1. Amazing stuff…

After knowing how Shinkurou lives the double-life he can go either way of going into his dark side. The other route is being Murasaki’s knight & shining armor while overcoming the dark side. I can’t wait to see how this will go. This is already a favorite of mine to watch.

You better enjoy this to the fullest then because you know Japan won’t release a second season. Still like this doesn’t sell well in Japan.

Look at Baccano! and that was awesome.

Ah, excellent comparison. I never thought of “Rurouni Kenshin” before, actually, but now that you bring it up I think it fits perfectly, what with the disparity between their life experiences and all. Will keep an eye out for this interesting parallel later.

Aishiteru ze Baby! Never watched the anime, but the manga was *hearts*

I am unfamiliar with Tales of Genji, but I can understand the Kenshin relation. Uh, I think I’m going to have to scratch Kurenai from the marathon list and do it regularly, or just stop reading the Kurenai posts (which are so intriguing ^^).

Kurenai is a star this season

Omg, I really like Kurenai and the second episode, Murasaki was so kawaii! I really want a sister like her! I also loved the scene where Shinkurou’s mum appears dead. It was really sad and shocking!!
