Probably comes with one Moe and one non-moe face for posing etc.
Sounds like I should be watching it.
Yes you should be.
out of context though.

I considered getting that, but the more gameplay I saw, the more it reminded me of Kid Icarus Uprising. In fact; that's what it looked exactly like, but with a very short story mode.

I shall wait till the Blurays are done. Or I can be arsed to get my CR working again. Whichever happens first.
This that yomecolle game?
HA HA. It actually came to be:
Though it's not as freaky as the original prototype.
Thats frighteningly adorable!
Almost there. Opening of six is one of my favorite parts.

I second this.

I need to play more of it, since I bought it during that recent sale.

wish my highschool was this interesting. when i was done, i wanted it to end quicker.
and most of my friends ended up at the same college as me anyhow so w/e.
Its really corny now, but the song that symbolized my high school graduation year was Graduation song by Vitamin C. Wholly forgettable now but it will always mean a bit more to me (despite not really being a very good song)

UWEEEEEEEEEHHHH!

Sakura was CLAMP scientifically crafting the most adorable manga ever.

Why is summer somehow excluded from mono no aware discussions? The brief yet eventful life of the cicada also encapsulates that feeling of transient beauty perfectly.
CLAMP always knows what they are doing. Other people just don't understand their brilliance.

i liked this sakura , especially since i'm a fan of the anime & the games.
Zel LOVES that Sakura. As do I.
On our last day of secondary school we got kicked out for setting off the fire alarm while an exam was going off.
I still see some of them from time to time. Can't say the same for university which basically resulted in everyone heading off in different directions.

CLAMP really does know how to draw adorable kids. Then they become hideous monsters when they growwwwwwwwwwwwwww up.
Is this goodbye?

Both good Sakuras. Not quite what I had in mind though.

Because cicadas are annoying. Also they don't creep into their grave at ~5CM/s
I think Zero kinda explain it, they have their gravity transistor thing.
If I get it right, yeah its from alienz
The Hakkenden 1: The Kaleidoscope
This OVA series has nothing to do with the recent "Hakkenden" TV show. It was produced in the early 90s, and as such it has many characteristics of the time.
The thing is gritty, full of action, quite gory with people being dismembered and blood everywhere, it has
and features a lot of the most talented animators in the industry today, who were making their strides at the time. You can guess that the thing is filled with moments of amazing animation, but since all of these guys were just put there for their talent and left to do their thing, it's really uneven in the drawings and style. I'd say the animation directors for this episode (Ohira and Hashimoto) didn't correct a lot of stuff, and as such you'll see characters with huge limbs and wacky faces in one scene, realistic movements in the next, different styles of line, etc.
Personally, I like that, but it might become jarring to someone else.

bestiality (sorta)
Personally, I like that, but it might become jarring to someone else.
The storytelling is disjointed, going back and forth between places and times, without making any effort to introduce the characters in a clear manner. This helps create a dark, unsettling tone, and combined with the pretty good layout work it makes the episode quite nice to watch, if a bit frustrating. It's not flawless, as there were some dubious transitions and even if well-done, they could ostensibly have set up the mood better, but it's still worthwhile. At the end you realize it's a setup for the storyline that will probably develop in the rest of the OVA, so I guess it'll become more linear in the upcoming episodes.
Some of the more interesting shots in the episode. In the second one, I like how neatly they trapped her in the frame, which fits in with her situation in the story.
Extended sales list is out, and as expected, it's a doozy, with a ton of new info:
We even got a few extra DVD sales:

An additional observation is that Mushibugyou v1 DVD sold somewhere between 382 and 678 copies, closer to the latter. I'd say around 600 is a reasonable guess, but without an exact number we can't update the first volume sales list.
