HOTD 3. This episode blows the scale up quite a bit, quite a bit more than a lot of zombie stuff, even if it's still told in a small sort of way. I especially loved how of all places, London (not England), was the one to contain the most amount of order.

It's a shame that pretty much everything else is as generic as they come, or fanservice that really isn't all that appealing anyway, unless breasts more akin to grossly out of proportion beanbags full of water are your thing.

Even the action scenes, which were once thrilling, are now bogged down by what appears to be a severely smaller budget than they had for the first two episodes.

I also hope Takagi dies soon. Her kind of stock character is the cancer of anime, bogging down every otherwise good series.

Clannad Episode 1. Not too sure why, but this one didn't hook me as Air and Kanon's first episodes did. I will say this though, it reassured me that the order I chose to watch the trio in was the correct one. Though the three are different in setting, characters and plot, there seems to be a feeling of progression if you watch them in the order of Air, Kanon and then Clannad.

Air feels like the beginning of a story that's bigger then it has time to tell (which based on it's run time is rather true) and when it is over you're left wanting more.

Kanon is in many ways the return to something familiar, like when you find an amazing spot in a park on a hot summer day and don't come back to it until it's the middle of winter and although the spot is the same it has a all around different feel.

Finally, Clannad is much like spring, where the snow finally melts and you walk into a world that has been renewed and full of life. However though you are happy to be back in that world, this time it feels like it might be your very last time to experience it so you decide to make it last for as long as you can.

Rather interesting don't you think?

The fanservice gets worse around episode 8, I think. So much worse.

I can't really imagine it getting worse, since they already seem to have no boundaries, as female zombies go down in a spray of blood and flash of ultra tight panties or women get chewed to death by the zombies, in violent spasms of oversized breasts and jets of blood. If there is anyone getting off on that, they should get help.

No. Amazingly it gets worse. And you'd be surprised.

Eh, the ridiculous fanservice is more just hilarious than anything else. OVA-aside (which is an abomination), I think the lowest point for the show fanservice-wise was when it had the panty shot of the girl getting eaten in the first episode.

There's a time and a place Japan.

It didn't really bother me at first, since anime has always had ludicrous proportions but each episode seemed to try and push the boundaries a little more, and by episode three it had gone beyond amusing to just poor taste.

I did find the OVA a little bit amusing... just a little bit though.

If you didn't spread the good word of Madoka as much as you do I would judge you
