Plot

Anyone want to tackle rewriting the plot to cover the main plot points of the entire manga series, rather than being such a brief teaser/summary? -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 05:32, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's on my list of things to do -- once I get my hands on the last four (five?) volumes and reread the whole series from the start. If anyone's up for the deed before I get to it, go for it. — Quasirandom (talk) 14:57, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've read the whole thing a few times, and probably will again to eventually do something with the chapter list...but trying to avoid doing it on another series right now (I've found if I try to do on more than one, I don't get any done LOL) :P -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 16:08, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know how that goes -- one thing in the queue at a time, and at the top of mine is Nodame Cantabile at the moment. — Quasirandom (talk) 16:33, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Naming

So I've been wondering: why is this article at 'Kare Kano'? That doesn't seem to've been the Japanese title, and it's certainly not the official English title. --Gwern (contribs) 11:08 6 August 2009 (GMT)

Kare Kano is the official English title. -- AnmaFinotera (talk · contribs) 13:35, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

? "It is licensed for distribution in North America by Right Stuf International, which released it as His and Her Circumstances."

Thought we usually use the official English title when it exists. --Gwern (contribs) 15:15 12 September 2009 (GMT)

Production info

From http://web.archive.org/web/20040812185451/http://www.nausicaa.net/~michj/tokyo/990203.html :

"Muramatsu-san (‘º¼?), the Assistant Producer of the Gainax TV series Kare-Kano, guided us upstairs after we removed our shoes and put on some slippers for guests. The ground floor, which we didn't see much of, was where development of computer games takes place. The second floor was where the animators worked, and the third floor was for management. We spent most of our time on the second floor letting it all sink in. We were inside Gainax! The studio that produced Wings of Honneamise, Nadia - the Secret of Blue Water, Gunbuster, and of course, Neon Genesis Evangelion.
...
Some things we learned while speaking with the assistant producer:

Kare-kano had no OP animation because the story of each of those episodes was too long to allow time for it.

The live camera ED scenes for the first 14 episodes were done by dragging a cameraman on a wheeled cart.

The change from live camera to animation for the ED sequences coincides with the change in directorship from Anno to Sato, which has an interesting story behind it (see below).

...
Why we think Anno left the production of Kare-Kano
Note: I'm not absolutely certain these are the reasons, nor are they necessarily the sole reasons, for Anno's departure from the production of Kare-Kano.

Anno objected to the restrictions placed on TV anime by TV Tokyo after the Pocket Monster incident, so in protest, he decided to have nothing more to do with TV Tokyo and left the production of Kare-Kano in the hands of Sato, who joined Gainax after having worked for the government in a public works management position."

An interesting reference, especially since as the article stands, the switch in directors is completely unexplained. --Gwern (contribs) 15:13 12 September 2009 (GMT)

Yamaga

"Audience
Question 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. Mr. Yamaga 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."
