His and Her Circumstances

April 11th, 2009

his_and_her_circumstancesFrom Gainax (EVANGELION), with production by Toshimichi Otsuki (EVANGELION, SLAYERS, NADESICO), chief direction and story by Hideaki Anno (EVANGELION), and character design by Tadashi Hiramatsu (EVANGELION) comes a high-tension story of the heartrending rivalries of a first love.

Like a drug, Yukino Miyazawa was addicted to admiration and praise from those around her. She worked hard to become the perfect student, the perfect girl. But that was before… him. Souichirou Arima. The instant she met him, she hated him.

Without even trying, he snatched the very glory from her hands by easily acing the high school entrance exam that should have made her the class representative. To take back what is rightfully hers, Yukino is putting all her efforts into plotting her revenge; but was love part of the plan?

Note: There are a few bugs in DVD 1 (once in episode 1 and 5) where the subtitles and/or on-screen text will freeze for a minute or more then resume (rewinding then resuming should reveal the missing text).
