kimi ni todoke -From Me to You- Volume 1 Premium Edition (2012)

I didn't think I would ever see this title released for US sale. Shoujo titles rarely get exposure in the US market, where action oriented supernatural shows and mecha shows dominate. I'm glad NIS America took a chance and released Kimi Ni Todoke in the US. It's a sweet, funny, and honest show that tackles friendship, first love and loneliness.

Dub fans: sorry, but this is subtitle only. I know some Kimi Ni Todoke fans are unhappy with this decision, but I don't think any other anime publisher would've brought this title to the US and I'd rather it was available as a sub than not available at all. Who knows, if the sales are large enough, a dub version might be made.

As for the item itself, I'm very happy with the disc quality for both the blu-ray and dvd. The blu-ray picture is bright and vivid; a far cry from watching pixelated, low quality, streams on the web. The subtitle translations seem to be more accurate and written more clearly than the online streaming translations.

I do wish this had been released with fewer extras. I didn't really need the extra book, magnet, etc. A normal boxed set, with a lower price, would've been fine (keep the blu ray and dvd though). I don't know if this publisher will ever release a "normal" edition without the extras. If you can't wait for a "normal" version and you can afford this limited edition, buy it because owning a high quality copy of this anime is worth it.

This anime has to be one of the most captivating slice of life animes I have seen to date. The first half of the series I could not keep my eyes dry. If you are looking for action you will not find it in here. It is a heart warming story of one young girl's personal growth which inspires those around her. The series is completely subbed. If you happen to shy away from subbed series this is one not to pass up!

"Kimi Ni Todoke" as a series is absolutely amazing! It is a definite must watch.

But, I really dislike how NIS is packaging some of it's titles.

This KNT Volume is only Part one of the first season. So, therefore you have to buy all four of these Premium Editions to have all two seasons. Which is very unpleasant for you wallet. Since each one costs roughly $6070.

Also, I'm not a fan that it comes with Blu Ray nor does it have the option to just get a Standard Edition instead of the Premium Edition. Even though the art book that comes with each one is very nice.

But, it's just very inconvenient to buy all four volume for $60-70 each.

I am truly thankful that NIS actually got this title though. And even though it costs a lot, I'm still going to be all four because this series is amazing.

Kimi ni Todoke (From Me to You) is one of the best romantic comedies out there. Sawako (the main female character)adorable for her kindness and honesty, despite the fact that she has always been feared and looked down upon by her fellow students, who believe that she can see spirits, place curses on people, and that being near her brings bad luck. It's wonderful to see how she grows after she meets Kazehaya, the first person to treat her like a normal person. Anyone who likes romcoms should watch this series!

I watched Kimi Ni Todoke English subbed online, and I liked it. The show follows a shy and introverted high school student called Sawako. Sawako doesn't have any friends because she looks like Sadako (horror character from movie). Everyone in class is afraid of her, and they call her Sadako and avoid her. However Sawako is actually a very sweet girl with a beautiful spirit, who always does the class duties that nobody else wants to do. She always tries to be as helpful as she can, as she quietly tries to fit in. She is also very funny, and cute, in her naivety.

Enter Kazehaya, a friendly, handsome, and popular boy in her class. He notices Sawako and sees the lovely girl that she is. He slowly befriends her and quietly tries to give her the courage to try and make friends. Soon enough Sawako has made two female friends (Shizuru and Yano), both girls are also sort of outcasts. Shizuru is an air-headed tomboy, while Yano is said to have had a lot of boyfriends. Through Kazehaya, Shizuru and Yano, Sawako also meets Ryu. Ryu is the epitome of silent and cold, but also cares deeply for Shizuru who is oblivious to his feelings. He also has a really hard time remembering names.

This anime shows Sawako's journey as she learns to make friends, tries to overcome obstacles, and goes through the experience of falling in love for the first time with Kazehaya (he himself is going through that experience with Sawako because she is his first love). Here I have to say that the emotional dance they do around each other can get a bit tedious, I thought it took them too long to confess.

I liked that all five charactersour H/h and our three major supporting characterswere well drawn out, likable, and had their own quirks. This show is slow, but it keeps the viewer engaged throughout.

In conclusion this is a heartwarming show that is funny and moving. This is an anime that can be easily enjoyed, even though I'm just a casual anime viewer I enjoyed it.
