I thought I saw an OST disc for a quick second, which would have cemented it as an eventual purchase for me, honestly. That's a great package though.
Nah, it's just that combining child death with all the usual romance trappings is one of the easiest and most effective tricks in the book. I mean, Hunger Games just made $150 mil in one weeked you know
Well, to be fair, the Hunger Games franchise's best book has nothing to do with child death. But I digress.

Sounds good. I'm in for day 1. I hope it gets here on the 3rd though so I can celebrate U-S-A U-S-A day by watching Anohana all day.

You would think Kobayashi + Secret Base would be my favourite thing ever... but it's still inferior to the Ano Hana version!

God, so many extra pages. That's what I get for going outside and spending time with my family.
Inu x Boku SS 12
I really liked the first half of the episode especially with all of Ririchiyo's freakouts. But, man, did I not care for all the feelings that were going around in the end.
So I liked this show. Doing stuff montages aside. I think the side characters were absolutely amazing and if the show only did that whole romance bit, I wouldn't have enjoyed it or probably watched it all the way through.
Also, that stuff that happened in the credits? Make that Season 2 and I'll definitely watch it.

Usopp is awesome, though. I guess I can see how he would be a bit annoying at first, but he grows a lot as the series go on.
That's true, so we have the triple whammy of tragic childhood death, cheap :firehawk nostalgia, and a love story. Most fictional works under that template already have the deck stacked in their favor from day one!
Actually, that template seems to fit Bridge to Terabithia pretty well, except Bridge to Terabithia is actually good.
And that's exactly why anime is doomed.

Not with Oldtamina rising the way it is, it's not.
A magical girl series with a generic power-up scene and terrible character designs? That can't be hard to find.
If only that were true, it's all fanfiction and bodypillows now!
"Fan Favorite premium packaging" has to be some kind of Tadakuni joke.

Nanoha and Nanoha As are definitely pretty hot blooded. Nanoha is one of the most badass magical girls ever.

Cross Game does it and does it well. It also has baseball!
At least it won't be Aniplex pricing?

Nanoha is far from hot-blooded.

Nice to have a followup to Bossun's back story arc. Wish we could get something like that for Switch, but Bossun's actually changes the character relationships while Switch's doesn't.
Edit:
:/

Yeah, well that's because Adachi is the master of all those story elements. Few others can really reach his level.
I guess thats why the boxsets are so valuable now.
Probably has more to do with it being a popular OOP series by Geneon though.

26 or something. It was the episode after Switch's back story which was rather... jarring.
I do hope that isn't what they mean 'premium,' lol.
Buggy's arc is definitely worse than the Usopp intro arc, though I've never really considered the Buggy arc to be part of the Zoro intro because the fight against Buggy involves Luffy, Zoro, and Nami equally and doesn't do much to characterize Zoro, instead serving as the first showcase of his combat abilities. Rather, I kind of consider it an interruption of Zoro's intro with the intro consisting of the Axe-Hand Morgan episodes + the Kuina flashback.
I was never big on any of the minor antagonists, and I'd probably consider Luffy's battle against

At least Ano Hana has more going for it than Angel Beats.
That might convince me to buy it.
This has to happen.
Also, I'm definitely buying two NISA sets this year.
I love you NISA.

Very true. That's the worst! D:
Ep 26 iirc. But it's terrible, Gintama x Sket dance episode is better.

Usopp is awesome? Awesome at being useless? He always felt as the most useless character in the crew, part of the weak trio permanentantly. Out of all 540 episodes he only had litrally one decent episode.

It's true, though. Nanoha's going to befriend your ass.
I would definitely agree with that. The Baratie arc is easily my least favorite in the series. It drags on far too long and doesn't really have many memorable moments. Thankfully, the following arc is when everything completely clicks into place.
Nice, now you have me remembering episode 1.
;_;
Also, isn't that sort of thing basically Adachi's MO?

That scenario is so played out, and it's not executed in any notable fashion here. Since I don't care about Usopp or whats-her-name, it just falls flat.
Good production values and two good episodes is certainly more than Angel Beats can claim.
