I wish there was a Full Moon sequel!

WARNING: THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS ABOUT THE END OF FULL MOON WO SAGASHITE. IT YOU HAVE NOT FINISHED THE SERIES, DO NOT READ THIS THREAD.



I just finished Full Moon wo Sagashite. I really loved the ending! But I wish there was a sequel because they leave a lot of things open ended. Will Takuto and Mitsuki start performing together? What will Ooshige-san and the producers do about Full Moon? Will Wakaouji-sensei and Ooshige-san finally get together?

So what do you think? Would you you want to see a sequel? And I know this is pure speculation, but what do you think it would be like? Do you think there would be shinigami or other non-human characters? What about Madoka? Would she finally become a big star? Would she become a more major character? What would happen to Meroko? Well, what do you think?

You should really read the manga. I think you'd get a little of what you're looking for out of it.

At 52 episodes, I think Full Moon is a bit long to have a sequel. Furthermore, I'm not sure I would even dare to wish for such a thing, because I'd fear they'd slaughter what I thougt was one darn good anime. As they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Well. Having just finished this anime no more than five minutes ago, I HAVE to talk about it. XD

It has become my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ANIME!!!

SPOILERIFIC POST AHEAD! I didn't add spoiler tags because of the spoiler message in the first post, but if I need to, I'll be glad to do so. :D

Kyaaa! I can't even BEGIN to explain how much I loved the ending--and the whole series!!! I mean, I went from being on the edge of my seat (there were about a thousand times, but one was when Takuto was about to turn into a ghost on the roof of the hospital), to almost crying (when Takuto LOST his MEMORIES...OH my GOSH!), to absolutely falling out of my chair from fangirling (Like when I saw Takuto near the end...AS A HUMAN!!)...It's surpassed Rurouni Kenshin as my favorite anime. Coming from the girl who joined this site as Rurouni_Kaoru, that is a BIG deal. XD

As far as a sequel is concerned, I don't think I'd want one, probably for the same reason Osaka mentioned. I can't wait to read the rest of the manga, though!!

Anyways, I love what a selfless character Meroko turned out to be (in the anime). When Takuto lost his memories, she could have told him that he never even knew Mitsuki, but instead, she told him that he had given up everything to save her (:D!). Also, when she cut her hair to give Takuto enough power to turn Mitsuki into Full Moon...That was so great!!

I also really liked how Mitsuki's Grandmother became less and less hardened toward her music. I was a little dissapointed that she never found out about Mitsuki and Full Moon's relationship, but that dissapointment was FAR outweighed by the absolutely fantastic ending!

I also really liked the messages that the anime was portraying. I mean, even though there's so much about suicide in it, it's really got a very strong anti-suicide message, and I think that's very good. I also liked the themes of selfless love and friendship. Now, for the (very few) downsides. XD

Izumi and Jonathan! They were so evil for a long time in the anime, while I loved them soon after their entrance in vol. 2 of the manga! Still though, Izumi gets bunches of cool points for keeping Mitsuki in her Full Moon form until she had finished singing. XD I also thought the lack of backstories for Meroko and the other shinigami (besides Takuto) was a little dissapointing; then again, it would have been about 70-someodd episodes long if they had left them in. XD Also, I didn't hear several songs that I downloaded on a website..."Crazy for You" wasn't there, or "Sayonara" and "Focus." I LOVED it when Mitsuki dedicated "Love Chronicle" to Takuto, though. :D!

Anyways, one of my VERY favorite scenes was when Mitsuki told Takuto how she felt about him....KYA!! That was so SWEET!! But I was absolutely FLOORED when Takuto finally lost his memories...ACK, it was so SAD!! He didn't remember ANYTHING anymore! T_T But, when he remembered everything at the end, I was SO ecstatic!

In short, this anime was an emotional rollercoaster. XD But it was a VERY good rollercoaster!!
