Last volume, so let's just get to it. Except for the Makoto scenario, everything else is just too fantastical (as in ludicrously odd) to be memorable. Fairytales are fantastical _with_ lots of dreams, but this stuff is very shallow, again except for the Makoto scenario. AIR is much better than this. I'm done with KEY stuff for now. No, I'm not interested in Clannad.
Speaking of Clannad, this came with a case insert for the Clannad Invitation DVD, which requires all of 7 coupons (LE DVDs 1-7), postcard (LE DVD 8), and Y500. I did not send it in because Pony Canyon has a terrible track record on sending stuff out to foreign countries and I don't care about it (and the miniature tenshi no key holder) enough to go through a deputy service for it.
And finally, I hate those split cards deals. For obvious technical reasons, these cards won't have exactly matching colors and won't be cut precisely enough to line up perfectly. I think it's disrespectful to the illustrator (Ikeda Kazumi in this case) to chop up an illustration that way. I spent some time stitching it to make it reasonable again, but didn't go all out at it because I have better things to do with my time. Still, it took enough effort for me to want to put a watermark on it.
That is all.
