The problem is that many/most of us watched KareKano a long time ago. I

("So many anime, so little time...") So while I remember it fondly, I
don't remember enough of the details to be able to discuss it in any
reasonable manner.

Discussions at r.a.a.m. work best when there are a number of people
watching a given series on a current and regular basis, so that the
details are fresh in people's minds. That's why the current Naruto
discussion is so active, and that is what made the FMA discussions very
lively at the time it was being first broadcast in the US.

I, too, originally got it on DVD in the 90s. I watched it pretty
thoroughly since I had to keep hitting the pause button to read all the
signs. When the DVD came out in the US, I bought the first volume
because I was curious how the producers would handle the extensive
non-dialog translation. However, I had never got around to watching it,
until a couple of threads (the Ouran High School and the 'too Japanese
anime') made me remember it. I rummaged around until I found the DVD.
It was still unwrapped, in its original packaging. I was quite
impressed with how a very difficult job had been handled.

I realized it had been released a couple of years ago; however, Tokyo
Pop is still bringing out the manga. There was interest in Azumanga
Daioh so I was wondering if there was interest in Kare Kano as another
non-mainstream show.

Mata ato de,

Excuse my intrusion but if anyone had known how the anime production was
going to be flubbed then they would have been justified in refusing to
deal with the product IMO. I did watch it all the way thru a year or two
back when the topic was current here and I had read about how it fell
apart in the end due to conflicts between the mangaka and the anime's
writers. I just had to see the wreck for myself.
I don't think it was even a good advertisement for the manga of which
I have only read about half. Too bad I ran out of $$$ before I could finish
buying the early volumes of the English translation.
