Wow. Episode 11's ending haha. Can't hate musicals.

I'm sure I've seen those "tanooki," sling shot, and hat from somewhere

ya I accidentally paused on that scene for some reason when I was watching the episode, but I forgot to comment on it; my reaction was :twitch: then :heh:; I wondered if anyone had noticed it :p.

Holy mother of all that's holy, that recap episode is absolutely ludicrous. :heh:

Just imagine the various directors and themes the episodes went through and it's an assault on the senses. And I like it.

Episode 12 was good. Not too mushy and it still kept the comedy up.

Maybe we can get a second season that's serious about the material and has only one director.

So the recap is worth watching?

One of the things that's interesting about the Blu-Rays/DVDs is that they're getting each episode's director to do audio commentary for their episode. There are certain episodes where I'm definitely looking forward to listening to the reactions and explanations... :heh:

The recap was pretty humorous actually, so if you feel like laughing some I'd say it was worth watching since Chisa, Noizumi, and Funimo were commentating on it the whole time.

yeah the recap was good. you wont get much plot from it, but its fun listening to fumino, nozomi, and chise talk about the anime and react to scenes they were unaware of. :D

Or VERY aware of (like Fumino's confession scene in episode 3).

I find it hilarious how Chise & Nozomi was singing to the theme tune.

The three main female seiyuus are doing a roadshow to publicize the anime for DVD sales. Here are a couple of photos from the Tokyo stop (Gamers in Akihabara). They go on to Osaka and Nagoya.

Aya-nyan says in her blog that it was great to see everyone's smiling faces, and thanks people for their support. Pics from Aya-nyan's (left) and Kanae-chan's (right) blogs.

Left-hand picture, left to right: Itou Kanae (Fumino), Taketatsu Ayana (Nozomi), Iguchi Yuka (Chise).

The pics make Yukachii (Iguchi Yuka) look like a giant, but that's only because the other two are very short. Kanae-chan 147cm (4'10"-), Aya-nyan 149cm (4'11"-), Yukachii 157cm (5'2").

There was also a surprise birthday celebration for Yukachii. Her 22nd birthday is today (Sunday).

But it hasn't been a great week for her. First, it was announced that another seiyuu (Kanemoto Hisako) will get the role of Ika Musume this fall, which she had been rumored to get. Then, a nude photo was circulated on 2channel, purporting -- falsely, it is pretty obvious -- to be her.

even if they are all short rather amusing "chise" is the tallest >.>

Yea I thought that too xD.

Finished watching it today. Is this a celibacy training series or something ?

Music CD 2 is released, and the Grand Braver themes with it. And the Bloomers and Spats West Side Story warfare songs. But Grand Braver is the important one. I am a happy man.

Watched the last spècial from the DVD.

Those are very funny and sometimes even more funny than the episodes of the series.

Still gotta watch the DVD specials. Already got them saved. ^__^

Also, does anyone know if the Light Novel is being translated by someone, or if there are any plans for it? We got the anime subbed and the manga scanlated, now we just need the novel. XD
