Does the TV series include the 2 OADs that came out (one of them comes out today actually)?
Yes its pretty damned lewd. Not tame by any means. But also not quite on the fucked up level of Imocho.
Haganai Next is legit good.
The character chemistry is spot on.
BUY THIS.
Y is a goddess. Nuff said. Worship her. Go ahead. Ill wait.
Ohh its a love story alright! The greatest love story ever told hehee. She loves Yuki soooooo much!
YESYESYESYESYES! *SQUEEZES RTHANATOS

I have no idea what, if any, content the TV series will share with the 2 OADs.
Ill ask Novid. I certain he has an explanation.
This is relevant to my interests.
It gets even more nuts, dont worry!
Isnt Yuno a cutie?
Since they are OADs (and I'm guessing this series won't be terribly popular), we ain't never gonna see them if they are not part of the TV series.
So you've become a character in a Key anime.
I know some of you might already be trying to figure out your goofy unique character quirk. Stop. I have an important warning for you. Should you choose to ignore it, you or your loved ones may be at risk.
DO NOT GO ON ANY ROADS UNATTENDED. DO NOT LET YOU OR YOUR FAMILY RIDE IN ANY CARS, BUSES, TRAINS OR AIRPLANES. ANYTHING WITH A MOTOR IS A DEATH MACHINE BUILT TO CREATE TRAUMA.
Clannad 10-14: Kotomi Arc
This is so goddamned contrived. If they didn't try so hard to make me sad, I'd be a lot more touched. As it is, I can only see all the weird holes in what they made.
Kotomi starts as another character type bundled with weird, overly-reused quirks. She's a quiet genius who likes books. She only responds to Kotomi-chan. She has no sense of comic timing. She's shy. She likes playing the violin incredibly poorly (oh wait it's symbolic!). She doesn't like bullies. Jokes involving Fuuko sometimes managed to be funny. Kotomi is never funny.
Slowly Kotomi's own tragic backstory develops, and while it is blissfully free of supernatural bullshit, it's also laden with bizarre contrivance upon bizarre contrivance, from the family friend who decides to spend his spring days in a long overcoat, dark glasses, and a wide hat in order to look like the most suspicious man in the world, to the school that seems to take no real interest in her mental health and home life (
) to the
and fucking come on. I can't help but be empathetic, but there's only so much I can take before the seams in the storytelling start to show. And it's more noticeable because Kotomi is so abnormal, and because her connection to the rest of the characters is so tenuous for most of the early episodes.
Kyou is the Ami of this show, in that she is the best and that she probably will get shoved aside for the clear winning pairing. But not in that she's probably trying to set Ryou up, and Ryou is a complete non-entity. I dread learning more about them because maybe their backstories will be some garbage like the last two arcs. Luckily that seems a bit further off.
Finally,
At least my friend finished the first season of The Wire, and he enjoyed it so much he intends to watch the next season. Success!

As an aside, I thought it was weird how Kotomi apparently lives in this giant house entirely on her own from when she was in elementary school onwards, but a similar thing happens in episode 3 of Ushio to Tora. Is there no sort of social services for orphaned kids? Do they not have any living relatives?
time she and Tomoya spent together that he somehow completely forgets despite spending a night putting out a goddamn fire in her study, to every element of her worst birthday ever (and her birthday just happens to be coming up soon!), to the entire saccharine as fuck scene at the end in the drama room where it turns out they kept a teddy bear catalog in a manilla envelope, and her parents spent the last moments of a plane crash writing a letter and sticking it in a suitcase that could only fit one paper in it, and the suitcase travels around the world

Finally,
I can't believe they sabotaged whatever pathos Fuuko's story had for some fucking stupid crane game gag. The sacrifice she makes for her sister's happiness is kind of meaningless if she can still totally have the life she had before.
At least my friend finished the first season of The Wire, and he enjoyed it so much he intends to watch the next season. Success!

Boring side story. Get back to the far more interesting Twenty Faces plotline!
But yeah, it's been apparent for a while now, but this is the episode where I noticed it the most: NO ONE in this show acts like an actual living human should act. It's understandable for characters that are shown to be quirky and possibly sociopathic like Kobayashi, but when there are 4 characters in a room with at least one presenting himself as "normal", there should really be at least some sense of urgency when A FUCKIN BOMB is going to go off and kill everyone in the area, including a baby that you're playing with for some reason instead of dealing with said bomb.
I also feel it's kind of in bad taste to have extended jokes about the Shadow Man's preference for little girls when only a few episodes prior
I still find this show interesting precisely because of how baffling it is. If this is in line with Edogawa Ranpo's works, I think the guy either wasn't the best at characterizations or just had no idea how human emotions work, which does lead to some fascinating stuff in its own right. Or the surreal tone could just be the point, I don't know.
Anyway, biggest reason I'm still watching is to see just how fucked up it can get, and this episode didn't do anything on that front.

I just want to point out that this adaptation is very different from what Edogawa Ranpo wrote. At the very least, human chair original story is more of a mystery story with an interesting ending than a detective story. So yeah, i've been thinking to try reading his work to see how different it is.
This was literally my reaction when I finished her arc in the VN. It's also a handy summation of everything that is wrong with Jun Maeda's storytelling.
Only 153 episodes of Gintama until I'm caught up with the stuff currently airing. It's not that intimidating of a number anymore. I can do that.
Also, I'm enjoy the show a lot more now than I was, starting with episode 129 (Kintaro arc). It's been consistently awesome since that episode.

Animator Expo 26 - Comedy Skit 1989
I don't think I really "get" this. It's not funny at all and it felt really long and drawn out. It's supposed to be a "homage to comedy skits in the Showa era" so maybe I just don't have an appreciation for that sort of stuff. Not really a fan of most Japanese comedy anyway. Oh well, the music was nice at least.

Clannad isn't so much about each side character's story as it is about passing on a message about life. You won't fully recognize it until After Story though.

I liked the two brothers but for the rest it kinda missed the mark for me, I've seen worse though.
Odd to see it's still not sold out. Goes to show how niche anime is in the UK when a product limited to 30 can't even shift with £100 off the price.Sorry about that mess of a comment, it was less of an answer and more of a FAQ lol, but hopefully it helped
Any other series you've got your eyes on buying?
Well I've badgered on a lot about the shows I do want so I won't bore you with those complaints again lol
Space Dandy could be a nice rewatch due to its episodic nature, but like Cowboy Bebop and Gurren I may wait for the complete edition.

Guys, guys, guys...
Guess what?
It's fucking Tadokoro Megumi Day today!
There will be some delicious Sumire Karaage Rolls in this episode today... which I did myself yesterday. Video will follow soon.
Such a great show. I'm still upset that Spice is no longer the ending, though. The new song doesn't even come close to replacing it.
Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 09
-EVA rip off.
-Chiri murdering off her entire class and replacing them with dolls.
-Her parents too by the way
-Quiz show out of nowhere.
-Making fun of japanese economic stimulus.
-Jokes about chinese subs in japanese territorial waters.
-Sudden time travel into medieval times.
It's kinda weird that most of the self depreciating jokes aimed at the creators of the manga are centered on this assistant Maeda/Maedax guy and not on the main author himself.

Haha yeah your enthusiasm for releases like Kill me Baby and YuruYuri is palpable. Kill me Baby is out in the UK next year, but knowing MVM is might be DVD only. Stupid MVM! I take it you don't import much? It seems like there's a lot of titles you'd like out there, just not in this country D:
In regards to sales, yeah I posted some UK sales data previously and it seems like Ghibli is the only thing that sells here. The best selling anime title for the year will shift 40k a year or thereabouts with your occasional The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Origins, Ghost in the Shell and Akira charting for the year. DBZ, Naruto and One Piece chart too as you'd expect. I wonder how many of those 2000 Gurren Lagann sets remain unsold.
Space Dandy looks cool but I haven't seen it yet. Still can't gauge what the show is like.but I get the feeling that the show like you said is episodic and each episode has a different art style. Keeping that in mind, it might be something I like. I might give it a watch once season 2 is out on Blu-ray or later this year. Anime Limited are releasing a complete set with both seasons on DVD later this month (24th August), I think the Blu-ray is coming later.

Girls Bravo ep 1-3:
My OH my... Good wholesome family fun for sure, yeah that's it..... That banana scene in ep. 2 was friggen classic, I mean, it was dirty, raunchy, erotic and something right out of a porno, but at the same time, the expression on her face and the fact the guy was just sitting there blushing and going off on a rant the whole time made me laughing much more than I should have. The gifs online don't tell the whole story, oh my... Lisa is another crazy yandere like Yuna, (damn 4 letter names), and the talking key chain's phrase of "I love Love, I haunt you, I kill you" so perfect for her, lol. This will definately be an interesting late night view like Tu Love Ru... I'm in it for the comedy!

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Episode 44
Crow v Yeager turned out to be really great. Both dancing in each others hands and Crows acting. I wish we got a full duel of it. The anime keeps cutting the best duels with plot

Death Note Episode 5
L has the best looks but wow at the whole scene at the Ichigo Berry concert. To be caught like that and then leave Light collapsing on the floor.
Scenes for next episode look intense.

Isuca ep. 7-END:
There was nothing extremely great about this one, but I did continue to find the story entertaining despite the little love triangle that developed with the sisters, well and Neko demon girl; she was the best kisser of the bunch by far, lol. At least some things were actually decided by the end. My only real problem with it was the fact that the ending while it did tie up the relationship between heroine and MC, really left the plot line unresolved and wide open for a 2nd season, ugghh.
Umaru Chan 5:
Another funny and cute episode. Big bro is good to lil' sis, and get's his payback in his own way and puts up with her. Such a good doobie...
School-Live 5:
Wow, great episode that fills in some of the blanks. Did they mention a time-line on how far out from when the outbreak happened that these events occured? The escape and resue scenes were pretty intense and it gives a good idea on how that scavange for food when they need it. Their lives really do suck and withteh manga still ongoing it's going to be awhile before we find out their fate...

No I don't import though I have been informed that some American Blu Rays are region free so I may look into that option. I was once tempted to even import Xenoglossia since DVD regions are less of a problem.
Also it would be a real slap in the face if KMB turns out to be DVD.
Just got this in the post
Congrats! Great pick up.
