FLAG seems to have replaced the mystical elements with photography, and I have to admit I'm looking forward to meeting the HAVWC squad properly in the next episode. Wrong as it was to laugh at that part of the NHK manga, it was truly hilarious to see Satou and Yamazaki piling on one illness after another. Speaking of which, episode five is waiting patiently on my hard drive, I just need to mentally prepare myself for watching it.

It's sitting on my laptop waiting be watched. I quite enjoy the character design, though perhaps watching/loving Oshii movies might explain why. Either way I'm pretty joyous that a group picked up FLAG... it was looking a bit depressing for a while, there. And I should really hunt for some Gasaraki DVDs... never took the opportunity to watch that when it came out here. And a hearty 'word' in relation to NHK shiteliness. Somehow the fact that the ero-heroine is terminally ill makes the manga version hundred times funnier. Timmy from South Park proved that wheel chairs = funny, even if it makes you a terrible human being for laughing. Happy that FLAG is showing moderate signs of promise.
