How am I able to list this before the release date? Because the release date is for the regular edition. I got this as part of the limited edition box with the first two volumes together, along with a bonus CD-Extra disc.

Animation is still pretty bad. Of course, I didn't expect it to get better or anything. In fact, I canceled my order for the second box. It's ridiculous they can get away with charging so much money for this crap.

Audio commentary is by Hikami Kyouko and Ishige Sawa. In complete contrast to the first volume commentary, they don't say much, spending most of their time watching the video. It would've been better to mix them up. I imagine Nabatame Hitomi with Ishige Sawa and Asano Masumi with Hikami Kyouko would have worked out better. I suppose Nabatame Hitomi with Noto Mamiko would have been interesting, too, for totally different reasons.

I don't really see the point of putting up a lot of really horrible animation examples, so I tried to pick out ones that are actually decent. Keep in mind, though, that these good scenes are the rarity.


Images (move cursor over each image to see short comment):


I'd actually prefer less detail, but with better formed lines. This one has a lot of detail, but the lines are all over the place. Anime is an art of simplification, not an art of reality recreation.


Definitely usable. Ogawa in the anime is not nearly as cute as one in the manga for some reason, though.







Mouri and Koshiba pair is supposed to be unapproachably beautiful. You sense any beauty here? I didn't think so.


I wanted to hear Shimizu Ai as Momoka, but if the animation is going to look like this, I don't care anymore.
