Iriya no Sora, Natsu no UFO

Post by angelx03 » Thu Aug 11, 2005 8:52 am

Well, all 6 OVA episodes are released on fansubs. And I have to say, it was quite an interesting ride. For some odd reason, I kept thinking this series as a "Saikano-lite" since it does involve the guy's girlfriend being involved in the military. Not to mention she's the only one left to fight an enemy in which the military is covering up from the public. Unlike Saikano, those battles against the enemy hasn't really hit close to the home (so don't expect apocalyptic battles). Most of the series is just building up the relationship between Asaba and Iriya (almost in a typical high school romance) with a couple residuels like with Iriya's nosebleeds. In the end though,
Asaba has confessed his love for Iriya which led her to be able to fight the enemy again (despite the fact that the TV said the war is over).
Pretty sad it was over. They could have made a few more OVA episodes in order to substancially build up Asaba's and Iriya's relationship better since it felt kinda of rushed. :|

I say make a tv series out of it. I think it was an h-game though...

And the one thing that pisses me off more in any romance anime than anything else in existence!!!

*NO KISSING? WTF!!!???!!!*

Or maybe they did and I don't remember the epic moment but it seems in anime the most powerful sign of affection [besides hentai-pumping] in anime is the kiss that we NEVER EVER see... :x

I can't think or remember ANY anime where kissing was an 'important' scene outside of Please Teacher... (try as I might, Ai Yori Aoshi is the only other one) Can we come up with a list of anime where a very strong emotional bond is connected through an explicit uncensored kiss? [no hentai damnit but you know what I'm getting at. Kissing ON screen, not hidden by something or around the corner or whatnot) gah!!
