Damn I would totally buy this if there wasn't a huge possibility of it making me look like a total douche.

I drank some sake out of my Azunyan teacup today. The teacup is actually just the right size to be a wineglass, so I've started using it for both. I don't drink tea as much as I should, because you know it's like healthy and shit, but it works well for wine and sake.
You should email the creators and tell them that. Tell them that is IMPERATIVE they have an episode that is a K-ON parody. You can even tell them why, I'm sure they would do it if they knew the reason just for the lulz!
In unrelated news, Scandal are the real-life Ho-kago Tea Time. They are an actual JP girl rock band who actually did meet each other and form while in high school. Today they are doing stuff like this:
Shoko Nakagawa x Scandal - Don't Say Lazy (Animax Musix Fall 2010)

Why do I get the feeling this is headed toward a School Days ending?

It's just the mysteries surrounding Erio's disappearance and now this new "alien" loli make me think there's something seriously wrong with this town and some kind of conspiracy is going on.

Just put me out of my misery already, all these characters are weightless their traumas are weightless, even moreso when everything is supposed to come to a head now. The nokemon episode was a good direction in developing the relationship Jintan and Anaru used to have in the past, if there was more of that for everyone else than throwaway mini arcs (finally gone back to school LAWL) then episodes like this wouldn't induce irritation where it's supposed to be emotional.
And goddamnit I was on the verge of calling him Yukiatsu after so long, he's got his tag back and upgraded to to creepy etheral raper dude... and Jintan is no better... ugh.
Infact I just spawned the thought that these kids were about 6-7 when these love triangles were formed smh.

There's only one ep of ano hana left? There should be a a good 7 mins devoted to life after ghost-menma at least.

It's great but has a shitty ending because they ran out of manga to adapt.
Of course me telling you probably doesn't mean much since I have the highest shounen haato level here. Watch Yu Yu Hakusho first.

If one doesnt read the manga first, then the first 30 or so episodes are amazing. For manga readers and anime only people, the last quarter of the show left much to be desired, oh well, I thought it had great animation and music (psychedelic soul jam) to warrant a purchase on blu-ray after waiting 2 years, and the action and such is pretty hot for the entire show.

Hmmm. Might be worth it to see it on blu-ray for the animation alone, at least in the earlier episodes. Don't want to lead you into buying something you don't like though, so I'm not sure. At that price, buyer's remorse is bound to come up if you aren't a fan.
Maybe watch some clips/trailers on youtube first to see if you'd be interested at all.
Edit: It is a really good deal for half the series though.

Madoka is seinen technically. There's also Usagi Drop in July.
Obsidian said:
There's more Kaiji, if you liked the first series. And the currently running Hyougemono is reportedly quite good (or at least offbeat).
Madoka Magica is only technically seinen in that its manga adaptations run in seinen magazines, but I suspect it's more a tonal thing you're looking for which Madoka isn't a good example of.

Kaiji Season 2 musings
It's kind of interesting how, in the most recent arc of this show (spoilers for the latest arc)
It's not like this is an especially complicated comparison, the parallels between the characters are far too clear, but I still think they executed on this device in a fairly neat way.

Kaiji has had the opportunity to witness himself from the outside. There's clearly been a role reversal where Kotaro Sakazaki has clearly fallen on hard times, devised a scheme and recruited the help of an outsider to pull it off. This is, of course, what Kaiji is known for doing. In the most recent episode Kotaro even made a classic Kaiji mistake by getting far too engrossed in his gamble and not knowing when to get up and leave.

Does anyone know if the Blu-Ray fixes these problems?

It's really too bad this show train wrecked so hard, but at least creepy crossdressing raper boy is doing his job. 11 episodes really hurts this show, but we're probably better off this way, lol.

This is a series I would like to see more episodes. I like the plot, but because of time constraints it's rushing through everything, and I feel somewhat detached from the show because there are so many things I don't quite understand about the financial district, assets, and the battle system.
The funny thing about these two shows is one was on the road to a good finale, but bombed, and the other started off slow and bad, but has been gaining momentum since. Here's hoping C doesn't blow it.
