I missed this one when it was airing last year, and just got around to taking a look. The first episode is... interesting. Not your standard character designs, but some amazing attention to detail on the backgrounds. There's a second season scheduled for later this year, and even a live action movie.

Let me watch a couple more episodes and I'll see how it goes.

Meanwhile, Wikipedia entry and AnimeSuki page. Fairly impressible that a show that finished airing a year ago still has 235 concurrent downloads as I write. (Yep, it hasn't been licensed yet. Grab your copy now!)

(As a note: I must be approaching 2TB of fansubs, if I haven't passed that point already. I no longer have any real idea what is on my server; it's not even sorted in alphabetical order any more, and it's spread across four filesystems. Need to get me a few of these and maybe pack them into one of these (which is rather neat).)

Update: Episode two doesn't disappoint. Interesting thing - it doesn't seem particularly connected to the present century. There's one mobile phone, and one computer, and apart from that it could be set in the sixties. Particularly since at least two of the characters smoke, something that is not common at all in present-day anime. Unfolding...

Offtopic: Just snarfed the final episode of Karin, though I'm a long way behind on that show. Took 8 minutes. I'll let it seed for a while, since I've already uploaded fifty sixty copies of Haruhi episode six.

Thinks: If I had ADSL2 with Annex M, I could have uploaded one hundred and fifty copies of Haruhi ep six. Can't come soon enough.

Update: Okay, modern air conditioners, game consoles, and GPS navigation systems. We are in the 21st century after all. But also rotary-dial phones and bath-houses.

Update: Tl Note: Jenny-chan's are the equivalent of Barbies, but with less va-va voom and more loli. Though that doesn't explain why one of them has a moustache.

Update: What now, a love-directed-acyclic-graph?

Update: Sniffle.
