Loved the series itself though!

The show itself is no stranger to fan-service but the OVA took it to crazy, ridiculous levels. With no second series, it would have been nice if they had used the OVA to wrap a few things up, like an epilogue really.

Yeah. Even with the heavy levels of fanservice the actual plot was always there, but the OVA just turned into this awkward mess where they threw plot out the window and focused on the fanservice because (presumably) it could get away with more.

*sigh* but instead, we got a mindless beach episode that borderline hentai... great.

Oh I see what you mean! Yeah I love that so far the show has been able to switch tones very easily, and naturally, balancing moments of fist pumping thrills with darker, maturer moments that highlight the sickening reality of the situation and the violence.

Okay, glad I cleared that up.

To avoid spoilers all I'm going to say is keep on watching, it's going to be fun fun fu... It's going to be great.

Started to get back in card fight vanguard from episode 19 cause I was near the 20 when I took A break on episode 26 now and I love this show

[Kiryu]

On episode 10 of Vanguard right now. I find Aichi pretty endearing but his obsession with Kai makes me wanna shout "Oh just marry the dude already!"

Started Deadman Wonderland. I'm both confused and disturbed after just one episode.

The manga was pretty great, back in the days when I used to read it. What I do remember though is the manga took AGES to really be about what the series is really about, and what it is really about is a lot more generic and a lot less interesting than what it originally presents itself as.

Just finished Kanon... I didn't cry at the ending just so you know.

I really enjoyed this series. It was funny, and rather touching at times. Though to be honest I found that when it came time for it to hit me over the head with the metaphorically baseball bat that the impact didn't hit me nearly as hard as Air did... that being not at all.

So then, I guess the time has finally come... onward, to Clannad and Clannad After Story!
