Analysis: OVA Episode 1

In today's bonus episode Jason is analyzing Kimagure Orange Road OVA 1 - "White Lovers"

In what ways is this episode relatively more adult than the tv episodes? Is that why it was released as an OVA? And how quickly would you move past an attempt on your life by a vengeful spirit and get back to your vacation after experiencing paranormal phenomena?

Analysis: TV Episode 35

In today's episode, Jason is analyzing Kimagure Orange Road tv episode 35 - "Perverted with a Camera! Robot Kyo-chan"

Increasingly we are asking ourselves: how is Kasuga getting away with this sh*t?! Flagrant power use in full view of nearly every character, panty thievery, and even borderline assault on his hands this week, and he's gonna try to skate by on goofy charm...

Analysis: TV Episode 32

Today Jason is analyzing Kimagure Orange Road tv episode 32 - "Will My Birthday Come Twice!? Time Runner Kyosuke"

In a lot of ways, this is an insane episode that is a little difficult to reconcile with the remainder of the show. But its weirdness isn't all bad - this episode is chock-full of power-related shenanigans after the past few were fairly low-key ESP.

They want us to believe that Yuusaku is suddenly after Ayukawa, THEN they want us to believe that Ayukawa is gonna kill herself? This is too crazy to believe, what is even going on here?!

Analysis: TV Episode 26

Today Jason analyzes Kimagure Orange Road tv episode 26 - "Kyosuke's Become a Kid! Getting Super Close to Madoka"

Precisely how terrible is Kazuya's advice? (It's pretty bad, even for a 5 year old.) But the real question is "who the hell is gonna listen to his advice?" (Kasuga-kun is.)

Analysis: TV Episode 23

Today Jason is discussing Kimagure Orange Road tv episode 23 - "Kyosuke and Madoka in a Big Fight! A 3-Legged Race of Love"

Despite some hyperbolic, unrealistic animation, this is a fairly realistic depiction of a dispute in a relationship. For good measure, the filmmakers sprinkle in a fantasy involving Kasuga abusing his would-be girlfriend!
