Heh heh, it was an awesome anime wasn’t it? Anyways, I figured that the mecha element was just there to make it seem like another near-plotless yuri anime. Instead of saying that the romance was woven in quite nicely, I’d say that the robots were woven in quite nicely. =_=
I loved this anime, had me hanging the whole time. Although it might have had something to do with the crush I developed on Chikane…well, whatever. Loved it.

[...] four episodes into Kannazuki no Miko on the strength of Crusader’s (not unqualified) recommendation. It is rather confusing – what is the point of the story? – why are there robots? – who’s the [...]

I LOVED this anime. I only have book 1 of the manga…but I hear it gets pretty intense. And when I was reading the manga, long before I knew there was an anime, all I could see was the damn robots. I was quite angry, because I bought it under the impression that it would be yuri. It got there, somewhat, in the manga, but the anime is absolutely breathtaking in its beauty of forbidden love. Screw Romeo and Juliet. This story should make history. I don’t care how many times I watch it, I still bawl like a baby. And believe it or not I rooted for Chikane the whole time, even when she was “evil”. It’s hard not to notice that kind of dynamic to a person. Two thumbs up…

I watched this with one thing in mind: I Want My Yuri; alas, unto myself I was not delivered! That one “rape” scene didn’t justify the 3.99 hours of FL(*&*FNG!!~}{})@3%*44 I had to deal with, chiefly Souma’s bastardly righteous mamoru-ism that made me want to cut his and everyone else’s god damn giant, lofty, flowing bangs off. I did, however, enjoy sadist Chikane for her brief performance. I was expecting a Mai-Hime-esque reset end but the reincarnation thing was pulled off quite well I think, though not a saving grace in the least for me…

I probably didn’t think about the relationships as deep as you did (with yuri & fanservice being my foremost concern) so this is all opinionated angst.

Good times! I waited every week to get KnM episodes in 2004.
Forget Romeo and Juliet and watch this!

Haha. This is why Yuri is a wonder of the anime world. Cool, I have to crank on it next month.

@Jalin
The OP and ED were some of the better aspects of the show though you are right the shounen mecha action turned out rather stale for a lot of people.

@Karurosop
Hopefully i will get to see it one day.

@Shin
How right you are. XD

KnM will always have a special place in my heart as it showed me that same sex relationships can be a beautiful thing. More so if they’re females.

Another good love story with mecha is Eureka Seven =)

I watched this a while ago, during the first half with all the mecha, i was a bit dissapointed in the designs of them. I did find it end strangely with the mechas and thoroughly enjoyed it when Chikane “switched sides”

Yes, it sucks as a shounen mecha series, but it does great as the love story that it seems to be xD

Aside from that, i quite like the OP and ED themes. Funnily ehough, i actually had them before i watched the series, and was estactic when i first saw it when i watched the series.

Elsewise, still a good romance story.

@d3v
I hear that.

@Son Gohan
I thought the love story was sweet. Well to each his own. For you I recommend Antique Bakery.

This show was just pandering for the yuri fans. The storyline was stupid, the mecha were ugly, the fights boring, the love story contrived.
Himeko is all over Soma until Chikane rapes her?! Seems like a plot device usually found in hentai flicks. Or a bad case of Stockolm’s syndrome.
I’ll never watch this shit again.
