Kurogane Communication box set.......2007-01-05

I am really happy with this product. I liked it enough to buy the box set for myself. The plot line leads up to a great ending, and it is a great show for any anime fan. People who like a softer, happier anime like Fruits Basket will like Kurogane Communication.

Worth Watching, especially for Kanato!.......2006-01-23

I can't say what it is about this show that made me enjoy watching it as much as I did, but I certainly did. First of all, Kanato is an amazing character. Not only is he cool-looking but he's got an intriguing personality and, unlike Haruka, an interesting flashback story to his youth. Beyond him alone however, the show really is just different. The episodes are short at fifteen minutes max each, but when I sat down to watch long marathons of episodes it felt good to power through the series at a good pace. The plot pacing itself is also worth investigating; Kanato doesn't even enter the show until the middle third or so after Haruka and her robot family escape the threat of a tsunami on their debris-filled city home setting. Leaving all that behind, the band sets off to hopefully find more humans for Haruka. They will find Kanato, for sure, but a lot more too along the way. The plot moves at it's own pace (somewhat inconsistent, but oddly beneficial in that what's important to the show gets extra focus time), the animation quality is satisfactory, the dubbing wasn't a problem (heads up to those who are hard-pressed sub fans though), and the overall feeling upon finishing the series is simply content and thoughtful. For fans of obscure anime, this is definitely worth looking into.

Kurogane Communication - a neato little anime!.......2005-03-19

I don't know why neil dunavin hates this thing, because to me, Kurogane Communication is really awesome! My thoughts on the matter:

*Takes place about 2020, according to a newspaper in the second episode.
*I might be a boy, but sometimes I get tired of "boy-centric" anime. That's why Haruka (the main character) appeals to me so much.
*Haruka is *so cute!* (Sorry, had to get that out!)
*Neil, I don't see anything of the sort that you talked about. Sure, it's got some secrets, but that's typical in anime!

Only quirk I have is that the episodes seem a bit too short for anime of its kind. Other than that, I give Kurogame Communication 2 thumbs up!

So miny Question's and there all ansered in this DVD-- And I dont want to give away the ending but ill tell you this it ends happy.

city to jungle.......2002-07-25

The second DVD in this juvenile series continues the story of Haruka, the pre-teen girl who is apparently the sole human being left alive in the world after the great war. In this second set of eight 12-minute episodes, she and her robot companions, a mix of humanoid and non-humanoid surrogate mom and dad, brother and sister, are forced to leave their cozy ruined city home by an apparently natural disaster. They find a working aircraft to take them, and eventually end up on a jungle island where, surprise, they find at least one more human survivor.

So far the heroine remains sweet, sensitive, and bland as toast. (I think the actress who does Haruka's English voice deserves kudos for a very good performance, though.) There's not a lot of plot to pick at. The side stories appeared to be poking half-heartedly at the notion whether her robot friends have emotions or souls. The introduction of a human boy near the end of this DVD may give the series some direction.
