    4.0 out of 5 stars Emotional and touching anime romance, January 13, 2010
    This review is from: His & Her Circumstances DVD Collection (Anime Value/Kare Kano) (DVD)
    His and Her Circumstances is a story of 2 high school students who are seen as exceptional and perfect individuals. Sadly both only put up a front so they can get ahead and please the ideals of others. When they discover that they understand each other rather well Yukino and Arima develop a friendship that begins to form a romance; however, the dark secrets within Arima's past make their relationship difficult, but Yukino tries her best to save Arima from destroying himself with depression.

    This DVD set features all 26 episodes and while the series loses some steam in the final episodes, the entire series is definitely worth owning. The writing style and emotional nature of the show is refreshing and pleasant. The DVD set from Right Stuf is well packaged, very well priced, and comes with a nice set of extras. The English dub and Japanese audio tracks are both exceptional.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing romance and comedy, November 12, 2009

    This review is from: His & Her Circumstances DVD Collection (Anime Value/Kare Kano) (DVD)
    A fun, romantic comedy. The two main characters are both the stereotypical perfect students, except it's really a facade. The humor is how the facade is revealed and the trials and tribulations the two main characters go through after they start being themselves -- or more to the point, learning who they are.

    This isn't a perfect series -- in fact, it's pretty obvious the budget was a big issue by the end of the project. And as another reviewer indicated, the quality of the DVD case could be better. But the first half of the series (especially the first two to three disks) are amazingly well done with insights into relationships, growing, and discovering who you really are coupled with comedic elements. The presentation often uses anga-like elements, giving it a unique style. And it works really well (at least until the budget runs out).

    It reminds me of Fruits Basket (though His and Her came out first). Presentation wise, a lot of different Anime styles are... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is the story of a girl....and a guy., January 20, 2011
    This review is from: His & Her Circumstances DVD Collection (Anime Value/Kare Kano) (DVD)
    Yukino Miyazawa, a seemingly perfect girl, came to high school with the wind at her back, in theory at least. In truth, this model student was actually an obsessive narcissist who works herself ragged to win the praise of teachers and the awe of classmates. Her secret seemed safe, until she met Souichirou Arima, another seemingly perfect student, who ends up outclassing her. She at first doesn't know how to handle this, but then comes an opportunity when he actually confesses his love for her. But what at first appears to her to be as an ace in the hole ends up being the beginning of a life changing year in this unusual series.
    The story is told primarily through the eyes of Yukino, the seemingly perfect girl, who in truth is rather eccentric and an absolute delight to observe as she tries to adapt to her new reality. We also get to meet Arima, the nice guy with the troubled past, as well as the large number of additional cast members that come into the story line as it... Read more
