kare kano continuation questions answered..

[jinshil]

i hate to break the bad news, but Kare Kano most likely will not be getting a sequel according to the interview in the main forum.

here's what was said by co-founder of gainax



Q: I really enjoyed Kare Kano. It is possible that there will ever be more anime made for that series? It just ended. It was supposed to keep going.

A: While I feel that the ending is unsatisfactory, there is the original comic book. It is rather difficult to work with a series that is based on an original comic book. We were working from the comic book and thinking that if we did it in a particular way, it would be an interesting series. However, the author of the original comic book did not agree.

Kare Kano was supposed to be romantic comedy and we wanted to emphasize the comedy and not the romance. The author wanted to emphasize them both and that is where the conflict came to be.

We would like to continue to work on it but we have upset the author, so it is very unlikely that there will be a continuation of the series. I am very sorry.



Here's the link for the whole interview:

Sigh...I can understand the reasoning but that dosen't change the fact that I'm dissapointed..

Reading the Kare Kano info in that article was a disappointment, still I really want to get my hands on ebichu.

This is old news but it is still a big disappointment for us Kare-Kano fans here :bawling: and knowing where the author is aiming for the humor in the series only as Gainax's valuable director (Anno Hideaki) and his team wanted to use both of the humor and the romance, the conflict begins...and so the show ends abrubtly. NOOOOOOOO! :bawling:

Though for Gainax's previous project, brace yourselves for the insanity of a perverted hamster, Ebichu.

Ebichu is not perverted. Her owner and 'the bastard boyfriend' are the perverted ones. Ebichu is just an innocent bystander :)

Speaking of perverts, I've managed to get my grubby paws on 8 episodes of this super fun happy show :D
