| 4:57am | Kimikiss Pure Rouge Review: Is It All Right To Be Average? (75%) |  | | | The ending of this fine romance is either unsurprising or a cop-out. Is this show still worthwhile, though? Yes, mostly. There’s one thing that the staff of Honey and Clover and Nodame Cantabile proved with this show that makes it worthwhile: it is possible to do a compelling high school romance... | | |
| 1:50am | A Case for Yumi Hoshino | | | | I think one of the most important thing in Kimikiss is understanding why Kazuki and Kouichi are split in the anime adaptation. But before we get to that, I want to talk about Yumi Hoshino in Kimikiss. She was the pivotal character in Kouichi plot thread. If looking at Mao, Kouichi and Kazuki as co-leads,... | | |

| 2:50am | Review - Kimikiss Pure Rouge | | | | Since I was the only one following this anime, I’ll be reviewing this alone. This is my first time doing a review and I have to do it by myself? Darn it, I never win. Kimikiss Pure Rouge Plot Summary Kimikiss Pure Rouge goes through the lives of three childhood friends, Mao Mizusawa, Kouichi... | | |
| 1:00am | Final Exam | | | | I’m going to miss you, Kimikiss Pure Rouge. It was only six months, but I feel a little like I’m losing a close friend. A close friend I didn’t pay nearly as much attention to it as I should have. The past year has been a good one for romantic dramas, embodied in gems like Clannad... | | |
| 8:00pm | A Kimikiss Interlude | | | | We interrupt your regularly scheduled blog entries to bring you this news:MAO-NEECHAN FTW!FUTAMI FTW! So, Kimikiss ended, and even though I didn’t blog it, I wanted to post on it because of a very rare occasion: The girls that I picked “won”, both of them. My predictions about these... | | |
| 12:36pm | kimikiss pure truth: All you need is love (and parallels) |  | | | So my predictions in my previous post were wrong. I’m glad they were, for had I been right, it would’ve meant that kimikiss would have been unpredictably predictable, and we all know how well that would have went down. The masses need their closure, even if the more discerning among us can... | | |
| 11:36pm | Why I'll Miss Kimikiss | | | | * heavy spoilers *So after 24 episodes, several kimis getting kissed, and probably the most complicated relationship chart ever for a bishoujo series, Kimikiss is over--Asuka and Yuumi fans will surely disagree, but I still think Kimikiss was one of the best anime series of its genre I've seen in a while.... | | |

I could’ve had this done weeks ago, but I neglected it and I was contemplating whether if I should also allow current songs to have a chance in being on the list. I did... | | |
| 8:30pm | KimiKiss Pure Rouge - 24 [Final] |  | | | Kazuki goes after Futami when she disappears and Kouichi realizes and confronts his feelings for Mao. Impressions:This episode was really nice to watch. It didn’t really have anything that drastically surprising, I pretty much had this exact picture of what would happen in my mind already and it really... | | |
| 3:36pm | Kimikiss ~ pure rouge: why, oh why? | | | | The crux of Cameron’s blog, even with all the tangential discussions regarding anime, is his search for the anime that he could proudly place as his ninth favorite among all the anime he has seen. Although he himself has not commented regarding this, I believe this is so: it is, after all, what... | | |
| 10:37am | Kimikiss - Pure Rouge Review - 81/100 | | | | The past Autumn- and Winter-season came with an interesting trend: actually good hentai-game/visual novel adaptations. Not just one, but four series (Clanad, ef, this one and True Tears) came from nowhere and shattered the stereotypes I had about the genre. These four series showed that good writing... | | |

| 12:59am | KimiKiss: Pure Rouge - 24 (Finale) |  | | | I was suddenly reminded of the nausea from the Fung Wa bus to Boston when watching this scene. Yea yea we all knew it was coming. I was secretly hoping that at least Mao and/or Koiichi would end up alone - hell at one point of the episode I thought they were all gonna go yaoi and yuri it up but yea... | | |
