Product Description

Get the whole story of love and loss....at a new low price!

Friendship and faith, love and betrayal… And guilt. Rumbling Hearts weaves a tale not of superheroes or science fiction, but of the silent sufferings of any potential passerby. This is real life. Happy endings are bittersweet at best.

Meet four fast high school friends – Haruka, Takayuki, Mitsuki and Shinji. Life’s promise shines brightly on these companions, until one day a random accident leaves Haruka in a coma. Her boyfriend, Takayuki, cannot forgive himself and seems determined to follow Haruka into a comatose state. Mitsuki dedicates her life to taking care of this tragic young man, and the pair salvage what they can, falling into a self-destructive relationship floundering in guilt. When Haruka awakens three years too late suffering from anterograde amnesia, everyone has to act as if not a day has passed. Torn between his unhappy real-life train wreck with Mitsuki and the warm and fuzzy daydream high school romance with Haruka, Takayuki watches what little silver lining was left in life be mercilessly and methodically stripped away.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece, April 22, 2009

By	Aux10 (Akron, OH) - See all my reviews

I must warn you this one is not for the weak of heart. Its just so sad that its one of the most beautiful masterpieces I have ever seen. If you want to see it just be prepared to cry a few times. In my 19 years I have never seen a pice of footage that made me cry. Some others have gotten close with that feeling of pain in my throat and made my eyes water, but this is the only film that has ever made me sniff and made tears roll down down my cheeks. So therefore I declare it one of the most beautiful works of art one can ever see. I would recommend watching the sub in said of the dub; because wile the sub is the literal word for word translation the dub has been edited form that to the point where it prevents the story from reaching its full impact. Also The japanese voice actors put much much more emotion into the film than the english actors did. So please see it, you will be glad you did.

This series I have to say was...Interesting to say the least. The begining was exceptional,if you like lovey dovey sort of things.Boy meets girl,girl likes guy..guy is severely dense and doen't know how to respond but gets over that quickly and so a small love story starts.It's paradise.Only things is the girls best friend likes him as well..but it doesn't show until later.The problem is if you like that kind of thing it's not for you.After an accident happens things get really rough.Words are said and stuff happens. and the story gets sad and depressing after.As far as I can tell you this anime has an off the chart dysfunctional rating.. as does the two love birds love life..You get hit by a truck and see how that affects your love life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great anime box set!, September 12, 2009

By	T. Manning "Anime Fan" (Cheapeake) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Rumbling Hearts is one of my favorite anime series of all time. It is truly a dramatic and moving anime series. The story centers around four high school friends and a tragic acccident that changes all their lives forever. These four friends are forced to make tough decisions that not only affect their lives but each others as well. This series is many things at once- a comedy, a drama, and a romantic series. A must see!!
