  • Here’s a more relevant question…

    …for which I’ll need the answer later on, but was it said anywhere (anime-only art books, drama CDs, specials, etc.) just when did Shizuru become student president? She’s been at the Fuuka academy since at least middle school 3rd year, certainly. Do Japanese middle schools even have student councils? ^^;

  • Big empty house

    Does anyone know if that big-house-that-Shizuru-took-injured-Natsuki-to-(something-about-tea-ceremonies) had an actual name or appellation or something? And idiotic question, but Fuuka Gakuen… is that actually supposed to be around Tokyo? ^^; I don’t recall them mentioning regions. TIA

[Oops, old Photobucket links [...]

  • Re: Research

    (1) I hate estimating anime character ages. Actually, it’s impossible. So I’ll just say Natsuki was about seven when the car went off the cliff. Why? Because that’s a good number. Unless someone has a more solid ref or better arguments as to why one age is better than another (she’s pretty darn young there, [...]

  • Research questions

    If there are no answers to these, I’ll just make my own estimations or try to work material around the issues in a generic fashion. Fun! It’s actually been a while since I’ve watched the anime, and I no longer have the first 2/3 to reference. I’m aware of the drama CDs and some of [...]
