Gainax, you've done it again! *clap* You've delivered a fantastic story after rebounding off of the ending of the Evangelion TV series. Kare Kano, or His and Her Circumstances (short for Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou), is a perfect blend of romance and comedy to delight almost any fan of anime.

Unfortuantely, not all is well in the land of Kare Kano. Summary episodes run rampant. There is at least one for every five story episodes. It's becomes irritating by the end of the series, especially when summarizing the story thus far may take up TWO episodes. Nevertheless, Kare Kano is still very enjoyable til the very end.

And boy, what an ending that was, eh? I've got to hand it to Gainax, they really know how to do their endings. Please note that those last few sentences were both SARCASM. For some reason or another, Gainax tried to stuff an ending into the last two episodes following a summary episode. In nearly all of the story-heavy Gainax animes I've seen, there has not been ONE satisfying ending. Evangelion, Wings of Honneamise, FLCL, and this.

Don't let that little ounce of negativity deter you, though. Kare Kano is something you must add to your collection. Something like this only comes around once, you know...
