EDIT 01/11: Changed a minor mistake I did.

Nanaka-centric episode this time. Looks like she has had something traumatic happen to her in the past 5 years as well.

FUCK YEAH, YOU ARE THE BEST ALBUM NAME EVER. TRACK TWO, YOU ARE THE BEST TRACK NAME EVAR!

Ok, 4chanism aside, this album really is LOL. Last of the Lucky Star character albums, and they MUST poke fun of Konata, Yutaka and Minami.

Overall, not a bad album. Track 1 was kinda boring, but track 2 is definitely nice to listen, even more with such win name, “Lolita Teikoku Bishoujo Taitei”. “Lolita Teikoku” = “Lolita Empire”, but can’t seem to get what “Bishoujo Taitei is, lol.

Wow, 5 episodes in and it’s still on the Koko path! I’m surprised!

This episode, Yoshiyuki and Koko finally get to spend some quality time together on a date, with a little help from Nanaka and Koko’s friends. They go through the usual date sequence; watching movies, eating lunch, window shopping and hang around at the popular date spots and they finally start to hold hands together. This is like, what, half base? Looks like first base is still gonna be a long way ahead. Sigh…

What else can I say? Those two are really slow at love relationships naturally. Well, I guess it’s mainly because they have been friends for such a long time, it takes time to close the subsequent gap between them that’s formed. But still, I am finding myself rooting for the Koko end now… because Koko really is a good girl and a perfect wife material, mainly thanks to the short scene of her calming down a boy who lost his mother.

But still… will they truly stick to the Koko end? If so, man, the dorama later will probably and had better be pretty frickin’ awesome, else I want my time back :P. It would help too if there’s more Nanaka as well :).

Obligatory Nanaka screencap of the episode.

Mmm~~ Kagura is made of love and miko-miko~~~ She’s now my favourite girl of Prism Ark so far.

I’ll say though… the show is… definitely progressing way different from what I expected from hearing about the game. Aroduc has been totally bitching about that as well, so I guess I’m thankful that I’ve not played the source material myself… but even so… it’s really making not much sense. Last episode, I even thought that SHAFT had a hand in this.

I guess it’ll naturally turn serious later though, but in the mean time, more Kagura plz.

Man… I so wanna touch her hair in various ways.

Oh noes! The evil volleyball club senpai is here! And he’s trying to get his disgusting hands on Haruka-neesama! Don’t fall in to his hands, Haruka-neesama!!

P.S. LOL at getting Daisuke Ono to voice him.

Will Tsukasa be this year’s Doll Slayer? We’ll see….

Coming from Moetron, it seems an April’s Fool joke by 0verflow seems to have materialized in a real show. As the title implies, Kokoro is the main character. Oh man… I hope this doesn’t turn in to another Nanoha-style show.

This is so gonna be full LULZ. Still, having Kotonoha swinging swords around killing baddies is definitely worth a watch.

Yay! CLANNAD 01 Widescreen was aired by bs-i! Too bad it wasn’t in true HD quality :(, but hey, it’s 16:9!

Out of boredom, I spent an hour doing comparison shots between the normal pan-scan version and the widescreen one. Be warned, the following post is not 56k friendly :P. Click on each picture for the real deal version. All the widescreen shots were downscaled to 853×480 to facilitate easier comparison.
