Shin Kimagure Orange☆Road: Soshite, Ano Natsu no Hajimari

Two mature final movies to what are two mostly childish, haremish romantic comedies. Tenchi 3, in particular, isn't loved because it differed so greatly from what came before; disconnecting it from the fun-loving fanbase. KOR: Summer's Beginning probably suffered as a result of its tone being so different from the silliness that preceded it, too... though I'm sure it - a light novel adaptation - also satisfied a great many because it provided the perfect pay-off for long-time fans; also resolving the Hikari subplot. In the previous offerings of both KOR and Tenchi, there wasn't any sex and the subject was dealt with in an immature manner - as you'd expect of typical rom-com works. But Tenchi 3 went in a totally different direction; bringing in a new female character, having her live with Tenchi and the two having sex - much to the annoyance of those with favourite Tenchi pairings. And, as for KOR: Summer's Beginning, it provided the mature writing and closure to the main relationship I wanted to see in what came before; the main two finally doing the deed and acting like adults throughout as they conversed. read more
