Some time ago FUNimation had announced a new line of DVDs named S.A.V.E., and now we are blessed to find out some more information about this awesome program. Basically S.A.V.E. Which stands for “Super Amazing Value Edition” are DVDs at incredible prices. The first two complete series in the S.A.V.E. line are going to be Kanon ($29.98) and Aquarion ($29.98), both released in March. In April, four more sets will be released, which are Phantom Master ($9.48), King of Bandits Jing OVA ($9.98), Pumpkin Scissors ($29.98), and StrAin ($29.98).   This seems to be a way for FUNimation to sell some older anime series that might not be selling as well as they should be. By throwing on a lower price point, fans who maybe passed on the series when it first came out might pick it up now that it is cheaper. What do you think?   [Via Nebs]

Well, it’s never too late to post about Shiori’s birthday, right? To keep the summary short, today was the last day Shiori can attend school and Yuuichi plans a birthday party at the Hyakkaya. Yuuichi tried to invite Kaori, but she doesn’t want to go. At the party, Shiori blows out the candles. Later on, Kaori [...]

Yuuichi keeps a promise in treating Shiori like he always does when she starts attending school before her birthday… and still conflicted with her older sister. Not much, except we learn about thing else. First off, Shiori had Kaori tell Yuuichi something and seconmd, Shiori illness was something more serious than a cold and it [...]

I dunno Jun Maeda. I like Kanon’s, Air’s, and Clannad’s individual themes, but Little Busters’s main song just seems kinda blah. I love the lyrics though. The lyrics are great and really make me want to try the game out since they definitely reflect what Little Busters is about, but the song just doesn’t seem [...]

Since Shiori’s birthday is next week, I decided to blog about the three episodes of Shiori, since she is my #1 favorite character… After Yuuichi saved Mai and solved her problem, He visits with Ayu in the hospital. When they left their room, they met Shiori there. Next day, Ayu cooks breakfast which turns out bad [...]

I've seen a number of harem titles (Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-ohki, Love Hina, Ai Yori Aoshi, Hand Maid May, etc.), including a number of titles based on hentai bishoujo visual novels (Kanon, Air) and one non-hentai visual novel (Clannad). In all of the harem anime titles I've seen and in all of anime drama's I've watched, I've never felt like I was watching a soap opera. That all changed with White

More Intellectual Raeping. After 'X' finds the Gold and all that jazz the siblings decide to continue their arguing in the main mansion. Since talking won’t do much good they decide to bring a recorder to record their conversation so Krauss won’t be going on back his word and they do just that. They're all tired and Krauss proposes they take a quick break. Rosa asks Genji to prepare them something to drink and maybe some cookies. They notice that Rosa is feverish and Eva tells her that she can go rest but that she’ll miss out on this big opportunity. Since they're taking a Krauss uses this opportunity to leave the room with Natsuhi to revise their plan. Let's see what these two come up with. Shannon and Kanon enter the room with a serving cart then a KNOCK KNOCK sound is heard.. Theories: How the Culprit Knew about Natsuhi's favorite season, Where's Kinzo, Kinzo’s seal and envelope, The Family Ring, Battler's Birth, Reconstruction of the 1st Twilight, etc

[96] As you might know, I’ve been reading through Kanon, the famed visual novel that sparked many a moe enthusiast’s fandom. All things considered, it’s not a bad game – it shows its age, and I think Itaru Hinoue’s skill has increased significantly over the past decade, but it’s definitely not bad. I could say a [...]

Excuse the tardiness, but it’s finally here! My review of Orchid Seed’s Seena (from Shining Wind)!! Between being away when it arrived, and looping Mizuki Nana’s Live DiamondxFever since the minute I got my hands on it… Yeah, this ended up taking a bit too long to get written. But oh well, here it is [...]
