Yumeria
Yumeria was a quite high-profile bishoujo game released in Japan in 2003, for PlayStation 2 and I think PC. It's part visual novel / dating game, part fantasy RPG. It was high-profile because it's fully 3D rendered, but absolutely beautiful. The five main female characters are very nicely animated. You can see loads of downloads about it at http://www.yumeria.com (go to the Story or Character sections for some lovely video downloads).
But one excellent opening video, featuring my favourite character Miduki (pronounced Mizuki), is here: http://www.yumeria.com/miduki_op.html
There's been an anime made from the game, where they converted all the 3D character designs to normal 2D drawn ones. Look here for the 2D anime versions of the characters:

Which do people prefer?
(The anime has just started playing in Japan this week. But no fansub group has released a subbed version of the first episode yet... )

I honestly think the game would be a bit more fun. But, seeing as how I'm not capable of obtaining any of these items, I'm not gonna be able to come to a distinct conclusion. But, downloading all the freebies does help satisfy my desire to at least have a look-see at what I'm gonna miss out on. Once again, I favor the game to the anime.
It's been a while, folks!

As far as the sub goes, the raws were just released a few days ago - since it's not a particularly high-profile anime, no sub group is rushing to get it out. Wait a few days, it'll be subbed eventually (heck, Ani-Kraze even managed to sub Area 88 within four or five days).

Kyra: "Ug, I think I'm gonna be sick. Tom, let's get this quy, quick!"

I personally *much* prefer the art style of the game to the anime. That's partly because the character designs have subtly changed... in the anime the faces all look slightly more pointed, more scornful, where the game had them a bit softer, more rounded, more innocent-looking.
The anime itself is turning out to be definitely *not* innocent It's deliberately placing itself in the "harem anime" mould, with assorted females hanging on to this SociallyIneptMaleMainCharacter for no adequately explained reason. It's very dodgy, but also highly entertaining. I kept finding myself laughing hysterically at it, even if often crying "That's completely ridiculous..."
