Err... I saw Summer Wars in 2009.
I understand that people like comparing Summer Wars to Digimon. I just don't feel like it matters either way to be honest. Summer Wars stands on its own.

Haha, what makes you think Manglobe has any say in what the concept it.
Well they only one that doing it.
They already made 2 of those IIRC, 3 with this.
Well you're right.. the producer can say "made up something for 1 cour, straight adaptation cost too much" or Manglobe that offering the suggestion, and got those project.
Lowest bidder, etc.
Not low enough if there was still enough change in the couch cushions for another season of Oda Nobuna.

It's a bit of a hard sale for those who aren't fans of the game - I thought it was alright, but it basically exists as a bridge between the third and fourth games, and sets up a few things which didn't have any pay-off until Sakura Wars 5 (both the Japan-only Episode 0 game and the full game). I don't think there's any particular value to it in isolation, though.

I hope you realise that you're sharing your favourite episode with Yamakan here. Not to,suggest that this implies anything about your character or anything, obviously.
Thanks for the info. Doesn't sound like it's for me then.

Ano Natsu/Onegai Sensei
For whatever reason, I watched the end of Onegai Sensei and it ends with this:
And then I remembered that Ano Natsu ends like this:
Nice little callback, if nothing else.
(And boy is Ano Natsu so much better than Onegai Sensei lol)
I need to watch Onegai Sensei one of these days. Worth watching?
Yes but its not as good as Ano Natsu. But as I said before MIZUHO. It has its moments though, especially when it segues into the ending theme, which is gorgeous.

Ok trailer, but why no rika on screen ?
It ends with rena and the guy ( forgot the name ) as infected.
Isn't he in the game as a npc ?
Okay, I'm gonna need some help figuring this one out.
So it would seem that Hayate no Gotoku Cuties is a straight-up romantic comedy with each episode focusing on just one or two girls? OP is by Shizuka Itou as Hinagiku and the ED will be different every episode (presumably sung by the focus girl(s) that week).
Ok ok .. Athena finally get an anime appearance and rika comes back from her world tour ?
Why not.. the hinagiku parts will be the best no doubt
Me knowing that would imply I've played the game.

Wandering Son 9
It'd be weird to say that this episode was significantly better than the rest of the series, but with the more serious turn the story takes, it arrested my attention in a way that other episodes didn't.
This episode revolved around
and the magnitude of that choice sent ripples all through the episode. One thing I think it captured really well was the mix of embarrassment, intimacy, and excitement that came with the choice. There were a number of moments where music was conspicuously absent. One scene in particular didn't have anything objectionable in it, but just the way it was shot made me uncomfortable in a way I haven't felt since a particular episode of Utena.
The end has me really anticipating what will happen next week. I'm glad we know all the characters as well as we do; it'll make watching what comes next that much more rewarding.

Chihaya really doesn't get the respect she deserves here. If only less value was put on PLOT, her actual character development might put her higher on lists! But alas.
Also, she gets the best character songs. An anime-original, thematically relevant song, while the second best gets a song about... bicycles.

No, it's a pretty bad show. Awful plot twists resolved in really silly ways. The main character is another spineless harem protagonist who happens to suffer from a ridiculous disease.

Onegai sensei is a stupid show but still miles better than onegai twins .
And it's time for this week's per-volume total sales average, for series that have released their final volumes:
Accel World -- 8,691 avg. across 8 volumes
Oda Nobuna no Yabou -- 4,693 avg. across 6 volumes
Hakuouki Reimeiroku -- 5,119 avg. across 6 volumes
La storia della Arcana Famiglia -- 2,307 avg. across 6 volumes
Chouyaku Hyakunin isshu: Uta Koi -- 1,586 avg. across 6 volumes
Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica -- 2,199 avg. across 6 volumes
Other notes:
- rapid decline of first week volume-to-volume Magi sales is like the speed at which Blue Exorcist dropped off, except worse
- recent otome adaptations like Arcana Famiglia still haven't gotten the success of, for example, Uta no Prince-sama
- Kuroko's Basketball vol.8 is now over 30,000 total, and has potential to go all the way to 35k.

Onegai Sensei isn't actually a show (or at least not the one that's being discussed here) - it's Onegai Teacher. The second word is and always has been in English.

Did they change the pricing on Magi volumes, or are they just releasing these too quickly?
I haven't seen it. This almost makes me curious enough to find out how stupid it gets.
I kind of liked Onegai Twins. Mainly the fact that
the related-ness of the characters changes depending on the medium

If brothers conflict or diabolik lovers doesn't match those sales, perhaps animators could expand to doing more anime based on games like DRAMAtical Murder, still hoping it gets an anime.

Top tier episode for one of the top tier idols.
Yeah, she's okay.
It surprised me too.
The episode would have worked so much better if the last 20 episodes was a massive build-up, showcasing Sorata suffocating from Shiina's talent over time till he blew his top, instead it's a feeling of "not this shit again" but with an extra dose of drama.

You should work at MAL.
I think anyone who speaks english should work at MAL right now.
MAL insists on all titles being in Japanese even if they were always in English. So The iDOLM@STER ends up as すべての偶像のマスター.

I agree. Perhaps what I'm saying is that it became more apparent to me in episode 20 than others, in a way I didn't completely expect.

But anything using Latin letters is English!
I wonder if it's because Haru is fat is the reason for the sales.
Whch otaku likes to project themselves as small fat wimpy person? Accel World is better since the MC is not a handsome gary stu.

Sao has more potential wives (wifuu ?? ) left alone and a large , very large number of fanfics that only increased once the anime was done.
Accel world stayed more of the same ( very poor number). So ..Well
One thing I forgot reply to earlier:
Of course, although with
"in-line with Yuki's side of the conclusion" I wasn't just referring to a hypothetical farewell scene but more to Yuki's subplot closure as a whole, and in particular how well it worked the patent simplicity of the very touching acceptance scene between her and Sōhei.
They could really use more of the output from (ex-Studio Bihō) Yusuke Takeda and his company bamboo Co.Ltd., that is a contractor Production I.G usually trusts in as they rely a lot on Mr. Takeda, was in my opinion very nice for works from them both like Reaching You and Eden of the East (I appreciated the style of the later even if those textures made for some strange results in the less elaborate foreground elements, somewhat irregular but when it worked I think it looked pretty good). Sword Art Online is also a good recent example of their work outside of Production I.G collaborations.
Make sure to watch all the variations of the opening and its visuals, each episode's opening is different from the previous one!
I'm with Inferno Cop on this. That artificial control of supply and demand be damned! Boycott now!

Technically Welsh isn't using latin characters as they have their own alphabet and read things differently.

e: you know, I might just submit this to SOS out of impotent spite. I'm surprised it's not there already.
Actually, someone did just create what is supposed to be a Greasemonkey script to force the English titles clientside using a remote list, but I can't get it to work:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/160951
This alternate script does work fine for me, but you wouldn't be able to make your own title database with it.
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/160952
Can anyone test these and see if they work for you?
