Lol, just because Zetsubou-sensei was the guest start I had to read this the second I saw it hahaha. And I was pleasantly surprised with the D3 trailer. Oh, those stack attacks make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside…

“So…if I commit suicide, I will become one of those prinny things? The afterlife has left me in despair!”

Best I´ve read in years!! Almost better than the NIS jokes.

Disgaea 3, I wonder what they will use as a tagline for it this time. They used “get your life back” and “the game that turned people into insomiacs”. Wonder what they will say about the third game.

Will be released in Japan this winter, hopefully it´ll reach USA next August, a MUST BUY!!

Yeah, I’m not as cynical about second seasons as ‘Sensei’ but I wanted to write that bit in character…I do have my issues with the latter part of H&C II but there are plenty of second seasons that I’ve enjoyed.

I know what you mean about that strange guilt-like feeling, but I’m buying as many DVDs as I can afford- honest (and Christmas is coming); it’s just that I’m past the stage of investing in any old crap just because it’s anime. Everyone seems to have a different opinion on whether fansubs are killing the industry or if it’s just that the market has reached capacity sooner than companies expected, but in the end we’ll just have to wait and see.

While I agree that second series are basically in it for the money, it’s not so bad when there’s enough manga material to accommodate the extra episodes. Think of the beauty we would’ve lost if there wasn’t a second series of Honey & Clover…

And those job redundancies are troubling. Is it a case of ADV broadening their horizons too much (with manga etc), or is it fansub connoisseurs like ourselves slowly bleeding them dry? I’m feeling this strange, guilt-like feeling deep inside. Must just be gas.
