mmm...everything is still the same...well almost everything.
Spoiler for As if they weren't liberally available already...:
As always, Fujioka=failure Hosaka=failure (I felt so sorry for him at the end...) Kana is probably the first ever doublethink tsundere. She maintains her tsun by temporarily deleting all memory of relevant things when the situation calls for it, then recovering it later. Similarly, Yoshino is the doublethink sadist ("Yoshino is a sadist" is the best line I've heard in a long time...). New OP/ED song probably means another cd to sell soon... All in all, a pretty good production. If it were part of the season proper, I'd say it's one of the best episodes of that season. I laughed quite a lot, and when they audio filtered Yoshino's laugh into an evil laugh, it slayed me. While the animation wasn't perfect (they apparently just couldn't avoid at least couple of errors...) it was noticeably better, with flashier effects, evil/serious faces, better drawn bust for Haruka... Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Isn't the actual season supposed to be better than throwaway ovas? Or am I understanding the system wrong? Quote:

So Kana can be embarrassed(and blushing) at the right moment. Fujioka, you are a lucky bastard !! Such innocent and cheerful girl is hard to find
However, pls remember to think twice before offer helps to a girl in hurry (at least you were not slapped this time) Edit: Kana's "clueless" expression at Fujioka offer for helps each time was priceless ^^

Spoiler for Season 1, Episode 1:
It would be full circle and stuff. This one was far more blatant though... |

I love Kana's "?" noises.
along with the OVA moments near the end and the hotspring one remain of my favorite Kana moments. Not particularly sure on why Kana started blushing a little, was it from embarrassment she forgot it was Valentines Day? I thought she didn't put any weight into the actual day.

Personally, what really got me about that scene was Keiko's reaction. You could tell she was getting all set to fangirl about Kana x Fujioka...only to have it totally destroyed. Quote:
I also recommend that people do what I did accidentally, and watch Haruhi, Minami-ke, and Valkyria back-to-back-to-back. Every Hosaka scene gave disturbing reminders of Itsuki, and every Alicia scene aggravated Kana withdrawal. |

Still waiting for Itsuki to laugh like Hosaka.
I could look all that closely, I just saw what looked like a green and red pattern on the wrapper which usually means Christmas in the United States...they use larger red and pink hearts for Valentine's Day...usually.

There was a new music release for the franchise today. The Character Song Best Album. The first disc is the highlight, as everything on the second was already released.
The OP and ED to the OVA are included, as well as songs by each of the school trios and Hosaka's curry song. Catchy little number, that is. |

How far did they get last year? I seem to recall they got to the last 16 or something and then all bowed out in the same round (touma and uchida died earlier somewhere). |

The three sisters made it to the third round (of 32 I guess). Fuuko from Clannad beat Haruka 835 - 709, Kyou from Clannad beat Kana 1031 - 741, and Chiaki lost to Tamaki from Bamboo Blade 768 - 588 (yes I looked it up).
Yoshino and Touma were knocked out in the first round while Uchida [236 votes] was knocked out in the second round against Lucky Star's Kagami [734] (overall winner), and Mizore [150] from Rosario and Vampire. All did fairly well in their groups. Got at least second place in groups of three. Now that I look it up, Kana had the mos votes at of all the Minami-ke characters. Though after Okaeri I suspect Chiaki will do better than last year. (Of course Haruka is known for defeating the standing champion of 2007, Rika Furude by one vote).
