I heard something about a second Strike Witchesseries. Does anyone know anything about that?

But... wasn't it... you know... unfinished?

No... they just had to release an extra 4 episodes as an OVA.  It's really a wonderful show.

Ok, I don't remember if I have or haven't seen the OVA. Is there supposed to some extra plot/character development after

Also, Wolf's rain pissed me off mightily. Great artistic design, great(Yoko Kanno's so it's a given) music, and the whole plot felt cheap.


Anyone knows "Now and then, here and there"?

Yes, I do. It's a hell of alot darker than I expected it to be; but maybe that was what made it good.

It's not like every other "out of this world" kind of experience other shows provide making it uber-optimistic all the frikkin' time. Nice to see something, although darker, a little more... well, what you'd expect with conditions that are shown throughout. Holy crap.

Dunno, I still absolutely loved the plot.  I'm a sucker for that sort of story.

It's good to hear that somebody knows about that show. It deserves much more acclaim than it ever received.

I think it's come up in this thread before. It was pretty great. I liked how the first episode was a completely different tone than the rest. At first it was all plucky hero and a magical journey to another world, then from the second episode on it was all

That's good. That's really, really good. More-so because it's impossible to cheat with layers and tracing in MSPaint.

Man, I've really wanted to do TTGL fan art at some point (mostly the gunmen and stuff...)

But I'm worried if it'd end up looking really weird, considering that my style doesn't really look that anime-ish.

I keep telling people I use paint.Net too but no one listens.

MSPaint - Drawing.
paint.Net - Everything else, seriously.

You realise sir, that you just suggested that Bleach is more awesome than TTGL?

I sure hope that was a typo.
