I don't get why everybody all over AnoHana. It's not even that good.

Probably because it combines moe and a great plot, something you don't see combined effectively very often. If only the writing was better regarding a certain plot point

If only it had any of those things for me. I've just found it dull for the most part. It doesn't help that the characters are kind of dull too. It seemed like they were going to develop everybody at one point, but then they kind of skipped out on it and now there are only two episodes left so there's no time for it.

I don't think I get the pre-order chart either. The World God Only Knows has more pre-order points than everything above it up to Astarotte and has more than Sengoku Otome and Appleseed XIII, but the bluray ranking is lower than all of those.

Basically that means that a lot of its preorders were done early, but have tailed off since. The ranking is what their current ranks are, but the preorders are the total number.

wrong Maya bro

Yuri Lowenthal is still everywhere. Just heard him playing a teen Byakuya in Bleach. Laura Bailey is playing Hiyori and she has her voice tone she used for Kid Trunks from DBZ.

--
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9

Huh, I guess it was too hard for Byakuya's English VA to do a younger sounding voice because his Japanese VA was able to do both voices.

And uh, Hiyori already has a VA from before, I don't see why they would change it when she hasn't changed much.

Hiyori's voice is different in the Pendulum arc in the dub too!

Ill agree with swordz9 here on this one a little bit. I still like the show quite a bit ,but compared to its enormous potential, it could have been much better and is somewhat disappointing. This is the kind of show that could have definitely used more time/ used its little time more effectively.

Looks good! Glad to see Higurashi is going to the direction most OVAs do these days

If they're going fan service central with the Higurashi OVA hopefully they at least do some for the teacher.

--
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9

The funny thing is that like nobody remembers the last Higurashi OVA. Its likely gonna be heavy fanservice first episode like that one, and then 3 episodes of mystery. I wonder if people all cried because of the pool episode back when that came out.

Rei was all adapted from already existing works. Not so for Kira, sadly.

Surfing Ooishi brothers was one of the best moments in the series as far as comedy goes.

I think right now I'd say Ao no Exorcist is my show of the season. It's been really great so far.

So earlier today I was a Japanese supermarket and there was this bootleg video store that was within it and it interesting to see the anime they had since it was through a quite a wide-range.

There was stuff like, Rainbow, Legend of Legendary Heroes, Rainbow, Heroman, Kimi ni Todoke, Durarara, Star Driver, and Sengoku Basara and that was just the more recent stuff.

And there was still the long on-going stuff like One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, and Pokemon.

Of I TOTALLY didn't buy anything because I know better and ALWAYS support LEGAL ways!

--
Hear me, Amaterasu

legal ways such as streaming downloading and torrenting

Damn nice they had Rainbow twice.

Man I don't know who else loves Shiki in this topic besides me and Mac but the first special which just came out was downright amazing.

Hey I like Shiki as well, especially those last 6 episode.

Shiki would be so much better without the dozen or more episodes of slow and boring buildup. The climax is good though. How is the first episode of the special anyways? Is it dull or is there actually action in it?
