Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien Episode 02

I definitely don't usually look forward to anime series that are based off of games (hentai especially), but Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien has turned into a pleasant surprise. I have to admit, starting on this episode, I didn't see where this show was going, but certain hints are dropped along the way that at least prepared me for it.

The art is great, and the story is very good. It's refreshing to watch an anime where a relationship is handled in a realistic manner.

Major major spoilers follow! Please, don't let yourself be spoiled of this.

You can only wonder, of course, while watching why they make such a big deal about about Hayase, when the relationship the show is focusing on is between Narumi and Suzumiya. It also doesn't seem like it's going to be a love triangle show, at least not at this point.

And then it begins to become clear, after the line where Narumi says that the two of them don't need to rush because they have all the time in the world. Well, of course, then Suzumiya is hit by a car.

It would be an interesting new angle for an anime to look at, if this is really how the story plays out, and I'm curious to see how Narumi and Hayase will move on (or not) from Suzumiya's tragedy.
