watching it. This was no exception. I have no idea whether or not I liked
it because it was . . . so . . . STRANGE! AAaaaarGH !??!
Ahem. Anyway, I assume there are some people out there who have read the
manga? Then perhaps they could explain a few things to me, like why the
timeline is inconsistent or why they have a dorm full of MUTANTS!

Most anime fans have seen this, but few have read the manga.
I saw it, liked it, read it, loved it. Although the anime was
done excellently, it's much more of an service to the manga fans.
The translations of the manga should be in venice, so order a copy
of the manga sometime.

Madoka wannabe huh? Well, I guess you _could_ say that, although
I doubt Nasu Yukie had any images of Ayukawa when she created the
character of Igarashi.

Sorry. . .sorry. . .sorry! Like I said, I have only seen the trailers
for the episodes. But as far I am usually concerned,
tough-street-gang-type-girl characters spells "Madoka Wanna-be" in the
corner of the universe that worships KOR (Yup that's right, we get a
*whole* corner). :) I even place Sailor Jupiter in this Madoka Wanna-be
category.
but I am sure that the girl in Greenwood can be just as good. She justs
reminds me of Madoka.

I just finished it myself recently. A great series with a nice poignant
ending. I thought the Hokuto no Ken parody scene was the best, though-
for some reason, one of the funniest things I had seen in a while.

Okay... time for me to put my two cents in. I just saw the first
episode of Greenwood and I'm still a little confused with some of the
characters. Are the two guys living next door to the girl that's
supposed to be a guy gay or something? And is the brother of the main
character some kind of child molester or something? Sorry. I saw Koko
wa Greenwood a couple of days ago and the characters' names escape me at
the moment.

It's perfectly normal. I was confused when I saw the first episode. But
trust me... you'll get to like them when you finish watching episode...
3... that's my favorite episode. Since you saw the first one, I'm
guessing you have the rest of them... if not all, probably up to 4. I
can tell you the answers to your problems here... but I really would
prefer it if you find that out by yourself... if you still don't get it
by the end of episode 4, then e-mail me and I'll help you as much as I
can. ^_^

Ray,
1. No. Mitsuru actually is very popular with girls...in fact too many
girlfriends for his own sake. Shinobu on the other hand, has an artist
girlfriend who only appears in the manga. Mitsuru and Shinobu merely
teased poor Suka by acting gay in one scene.
2. Nobody is a childmolester in Greenwood 1. Suka's brother is the
school doctor who likes to tease his little brother. If you wanna see
the real child molester, wait for this week Greenwood 2 showing...

really isn't like Madoka. All she was doing was putting up a facade of
toughness. She really wasn't a "tough-girl." Hasukawa saw this in her
and somehow fell in love with her that way. That may sound a little sexist
(I mean, what girl _needs_ protection anyway? ^_^;;) but that's what
I got from the anime.

** groan ** I think it runs in the family.
Still, I saw the whole thing a couple of days ago and, well, how can I
explain this . . . by now I would usually have an idea as to whether or
not I like the particular anime that I watched. I still have no idea. I
found it hard to like any of the characters, and if I'm not cheering for
the characters I'm not enjoying myself. Know what I mean?
The last two episodes were(in my opinion), even more than the other four,
melodramatic and unrealistic.

>The last two episodes were(in my opinion), even more than the other four,

Actually, I think this depends on the viewer. Nothing
I say can really open anything new for you (or anything like that)
because there IS nothing new. You've seen it and, I guess,
you don't really love it...
For me, it was pretty believable (I know I've seen more unrealistic
things REALLY happening in front of me...) and adorable.

Are you talking about the anime timeline? If I'm not wrong, there were
originally supposed to be just 2 OVAs, the other 4 came later. So that's
why "Nagisa Hyperrhapsody" is set slightly before OVAs 5 & 6. The
timeline's not inconsistent, the anime just jumps around alot.
Which of the characters are mutants? To be honest, so many of them have
SO many weird characteristics that it's kinda hard to explain it all
here. :)

Suka turned more balanced later on, made Mitsuru look bad ^^;
as for Igarashi.... she seemed to stay klutz ^^;;
That reminds me.. it seemed like Mitsuru was almost a kultz
in many of the later episodes ^^; In the beggining, Mitsuru was
always picking on Suka.... but through out the series, it seemed
Mitsuru was more picked on than anyone else ^^;
The changes of the characters in the series was very intruging.
Shinobu got (believe it not) drawin cuter in the later volumes ^^;
Mitsuru lost his slanted eyes, and Reina went punk ^_^; (still looks
like a girl though) I love the little changes...

newsletter/magazine for a club here in Denver, CO, and we've been running
the series as a feature presentation. We ran 1 & 2 back in November, and
we'll be running 3-6 at this weekend's meeting. This means I've had a
chance to read the synopsis (and print them up; contact me for info on
getting the issues where the synopsis appear), and I think the series is
interesting, with quite a bit of comedy in it (and wierder than Ranma 1/2
could ever get, no matter how much of her drugs Takahashi ingested :).

Well, UNrealism is the stuff Greenwood is made of. As for melodramatic,
well that is part of the humour. If you don't see the humour in
Greenwood than I would have to ask about the quality f your subs. I
think that Greenwood is one of the best comedies EVER.

Huh? I thought the first ep was great. It was an intro to wierdness.
Highlights: the SD flashback when Suka-chan was describing everything
that had gone wrong in his life; the first ime he found out that his
roommate (arg, I forgot his name) was a "woman", the bathroom scene where
he found out "she" was really a guy, Suka-chan taking down Mitsura when
he found out the whole thing was a bet. . .holy crap! I love that show.
I am gonna go home right now and watch it again ;)

If my memory serves me correctly, the VA for Shun is female... Okay...
here are the VA's of the main characters of the story...
Hasukawa Kazuya - Sasaki Nozomu (sorry, but not Kyousuke... but was
Mackie in BGC...)
Ikeda Mitsuru - Iwata Mitsuo (not any of the anime I saw...)
Shun - Sakamoto Chika (Kazuya in KOR... Kentaro in MI... Mei

He did a lot more - Shurato, Dom (Tylor, the Irresponsible Captain), Tieh

My favorite (looking) seiyuu. She also did Mitty (sp?) from Gall Force
and the lead female from Zeorymer (name slips my mind - my notes are at
home).
>Nagisa - Tsuru Hiromi (my favorite voice... Madoka in KOR...)
Too many voices to mention - Ukyou (Ranma 1/2), Asuna (Maison Ikkoku),
Yohko (Leda, not Devil Hunter), Leona (Dominion)...

I understand how Hasukawa . . . cashed in, as it were, on Igarashi's low
self-esteem. I think they could have made the last two episodes a LITTLE
less angst-crammed. One thing I did like, though, was how rather than
making Koizumi Tenma out to be a sleazebucket, they made him out to be a
nice guy with the BEST of intentions. That made for at least a LITTLE
tension.

No, no. The original poster was asking about Hasukawa's brother, the
school nurse. I don't think he's a molester of any kind. He seems to be
just a regular big brother:real annoying. He marries his little brother's
crush, rubs it in his face, and has to be the school nurse, which I believe
is not a traditional profession for a man in Japan. I think.. -_-;

Yes, she is. I _saw_ her at a Totoro Event.

>Hasukawa Kazuya - Sasaki Nozomu (sorry, but not Kyousuke... but was

>Ikeda Mitsuru - Iwata Mitsuo (not any of the anime I saw...)
Rue (sp?) in UY3 "Remember My Love"
>Shun - Sakamoto Chika (Kazuya in KOR... Kentaro in MI... Mei
> in Totoro...)
Ai in Cat's Eye
>Shinobu - Seki Toshihiko (Mousse in Ranma! (surprising, isn't it!))
>Igarashi - Honda Chieko (Kurumi in KOR... which, to me, is surprising)
Or Nami in SM. I like Honda Chieko in A!MG best ^_^
>Nagisa - Tsuru Hiromi (my favorite voice... Madoka in KOR...)
>Sumire - Shimamoto Sumi (my second favorite voice... Kyouko in MI)
For me, her voice is for Claris and Nausicaa
