Anyone know anything about the OVA? CDJapan says the 7th DVD contains the 13th episode and an "unaired episode".

FYI it is track 6 on the CD that came with the 5th limited edition DVD.

I remember reading an article on MAL where there was suppose to be an unaired episode of Kannagi with the dvds... but considering I didn't see it anywhere else I thought it was a mistake... but you say cdjapan lists it.. hmmm.. can anyone shed some light on this? Really looking forward to it if it's true.

The release date for the 7th DVD is 27th May 2009 so maybe we will find out more closer to the time. This is what cdJapn have for the release.

Crazy Shrine Maidens (Kannagi) 7 [Regular Edition]
Description
Seventh DVD release from anime series "Crazy Shine Maidens (Kannagi)" featuring episode 13 and unaired episode. Limited edition includes bonus CD with soundtrack and cast talk plus pin-up card.
So it does look like a DVD-only release of an extra episode.

Amazon seems to agree:

最終第13話とTV未放映エピソードを収録

As does the official anime site:
Quote:
第十三幕「仁、デレる」・テレビ未放送エピソード1話 収録
- http://www.nagisama-fc.com/anime/dvdcd/dvd7.html

I won't insult anyone by including the web translations, but both mention an untelevised episode.

Doesn't look like we'll see Jin and Nagi hook up, which is a bummer...

It's just a bonus episode... I think one centered around the entire cast is best for that sort of thing since they are usually the most fun episodes. And there's always season 2 for what you want....

Too bad they still do not have enough material to run a season 2. Unless, they make that season stylized in the same format Bleach is running in. 1 episode per 1 chapter, which would be really difficult to do.

There is more manga chapters unanimated than there is animated... If the current manga arc had been finished before the mangaka fell ill I'm sure a second series would've been hinted at if not announced by now.

In episode 14, a second season has been hinted at. Yeah, just hinted at.

Well, yeah -- I would be surprised if the license doesn't get announced at this weekend's AnimeExpo.

Necropushing once more, I should start watching some stuff that isnt years old lol.

Anyway, the usual stuff, is the manga/novel further into the story? Is there any indication of a second season? Any infos? The ending was nice but pretty unsatisfying xD

The source material is *much* farther along - but on hold because the author has been ill. They certainly left the end of season 1 as if they *expected* to get a season two but alas. Kannagi, along with many other series that needed another season or two, doesn't seem likely to catch a break.

Manga is the canon one. And the reason why it's on hold is because of author's health, probably because of the immature outbursts of the otaku in Nagi's virginity.

Can anyone explain what the roots of the "Nagi virginity fiasco" are? Japan isn't exactly a puritanical society with strong religious prohibitions against premarital sex. To be fair, however, "virginity fiascos" aren't exactly restricted to fictional characters; I've seen on sites like Sankaku Complex that otaku can get real stabby when popular female seiyuu get boyfriends or are seen with men.

I'm not sure if it's possible to answer this question with pure facts, but I think it basically goes like this:

1. Some (obsessive?) fans like to believe/pretend that they are or could be a celebrity's first and only boyfriend (because they are that celebrity's "true fan"). (The same can apply for female fans and male celebrities, feeling jealous if their favourite celebrity gets a girlfriend -- this happens even in Hollywood culture.)

2. If a female celebrity actually does get a boyfriend (or "heaven forfend", lose their virginity), they are no longer "pure". This also ruins the aforementioned fantasy, since even if the celebrity did encounter the fan, the fan would almost certainly be rejected since they won't measure up (and they wouldn't be able to be the celebrity's "first" anyway). (This is the same double-standard at play in much of the world, where a girl who has had multiple sexual partners is considered a deviant, whereas a guy who has had multiple partners is acceptable, perhaps even enviable.)

3. Some fans applied the same celebrity obsession principles to 2D characters. However, in many cases, the fan may insert themselves into the role of the protagonist of the story (since most realize that they personally can never interact with the character directly), so as long as the character is "pure" for the protagonist, it's okay if the protagonist starts dating the character (since they can imagine that it's them).

4. Online message board 2ch (among others) likes to make fun of these obsessive fans by playing it up and exaggerating the issue as a joke. It has become a meme that, whenever something like this happens, a whole bunch of people will feign outrage, referencing the fact that there are actually a few people who really feel that way (though no one knows just how many given the meme and "fake outrage"). Most of the "ripped up manga" and other things you see are from attention-seeking people acting crazy as part of this meme.

So for practical purposes, the origin of the fiasco is 2ch making fun of the obsessive Nagi fans who may have felt hurt/jealous/outraged that their pure goddess may have been "tainted" before having met the protagonist, Jun. A more thorough reading of the story shows that even this isn't really an issue for all intents and purposes, but the meme was triggered anyway, and some people took it too far (as tends to happen).

As for a deeper insight into the societal reasons why this attitude about celebrities exists in the first place... well, that'd be even broader speculation, so I guess it probably belongs in a different thread (though it is an interesting subject).

Thanks for the info.

From the Sankaku Complex reports, it seems that seiyuu who happen upon "instant fame" like the K-ON! seiyuu are most subject to this virginity obsession. No one seemed to complain when Kaori Nazuka or Sayaka Oohara got married, possibly because they didn't do characters with the moe stereotype that otaku like to pay the most for.

By the same token, it seems that seiyuu who work steadily like Shizuka Itou or Yuu Asakawa don't get the same shrieking obsession of otaku. I have to wonder how this lopsided attention comes about.

But I could never understand how the fantasy of "being the star's first" came about. It seems like a rather severre disconnect with reality. You don't know them aside from a childish obsession, and they don't know you. Why would that be a good foundation for an intimate romantic relationship?
