I’m running out of words to slap up in this section… must be the
after effect of Comic Party.
Right at the start Kazuki heads to set up his section in Comic
Party. Things go well as he gets products in. However… he’s about
to learn a very valuable lesson when it comes to quality
insurance… and how to march on when it hits the fan, now the real
drama begins.
The next few episodes deals with Kazuki trying to apply some
damage control, Mizuki as always is there by his side, not that he
notices. This episode was done in a rather interesting way, where
it jumps back and forth, from the end of the con to what happens
afterwards, being the two of them at the beach. I really shouldn’t
be saying anything more, some very important plot points come up
here. However, like I said earlier, the series seems to be taking
a more serious and emotional approach to things.
Speaking of parodies, the packaging alone is loaded with them. The
cover’s were printed in the traditional manga style… in other
words it opens backwards. Of course they’re revisable, so if you
want to open it the “right” way you can. Upon opening the cover
you be exposed to even more parodies, being the insert…
Yep, Right Stuf went all out to enhance what the series is famous
for, as well as the world of doujinshi. Another great thing about
the insert is the list of some of the parodies you’ll find while
watching this, great guide indeed.
Well the packaging work here seems to be fine, but how do the
menus work? Quite well in fact. At first they seem a bit
motionless, until we glance our eyes on an image of one of the
characters being sketched right there on the screen! It was
certainly a mind blowing experience, likely one of the most
creative menus I’ve seen in a very long time. The opening song
also plays out in the background as well, giving it more of a nice
feel, since there really isn’t anything else going on. All the
other menus get your standard treatment here, nothing special, but
access to everything you’d expect.
And the extras? Dear good, they’re wonderful, consisting of an Art
Gallery of character sketches, Character bios, translator notes
explaining certain things in the series. An interview with some of
the Japanese voice actors, which proves to be just as funny as the
series is. Oh yes, and the Special Mini episode #3, packed with
even more laughs.
I don’t have much to say about the video, it’s more or less
prefect for something that was released about… what? 3 years ago?
None the less, everything here is in nice order. Same can be said
about the audio, in its typical 2.0 Mix. Nothing objectionable
noted here, well the English track does sound a bit better quality
wise mind you. Speaking of the English track, the dub here was
done rather well.
This short but sweet adventure is coming to a close soon, and it’s
already off to a good end. Needless to say whenever I talk this
highly of an anime from the first DVD to the last (okay we’re not
there just yet) It’s something that is recommended to all. |
