XD I don't expect a lot of replies to this or any for that matter, I just want to know if anybody shares my inexplicable fondness for series based on silly dating sims*. Does anybody else like any of the NeoRomance series? Those'd be Angelique, Harukanaru Toki no Naka de, and La Corda d'Oro/Kiniro no Corda.
* Meine Liebe is not a NeoRomance series, but it should be
I happened to think of it because somebody just brought up Fushigi Yuugi in another thread -- Harukanaru Toki no Long Title got licensed for DVD-only, subtitles-only release in the States, and from what I understand, there are enough similarities between the two (average schoolgirl gets summoned back into a semi-magical feudal era to be a miko, huge harem of bishonen protectors with gems/markings on their bodies, Suzaku/Seiryuu/Genbu/Byakko, etc.) that people not already familiar with HaruToki will likely think it's just a ripoff of FY and pass it up.
So that's the backstory of this thread. Now you know! *shooting star* Anyway, is anybody around here among the twenty or so fans of Ange/HaruToki/Corda outside of Japan?
