Final volume? Indeed it is!

This is mostly going to be about the OAV, since there really isn’t much to say about the game. It’s kind of fun, though there really isn’t all that much to it – it is a pretty easy 1000 gamer points, though the amount of travel in the 360 pads face buttons makes the higher difficulty settings a little harder than they should be. I really need to go back through and play all the tracks whilst wearing headphones in order to properly judge the remix tracks, but they are a real mixed bag. Some of them really, really don’t work – they’ve tried to turn My Best Friend into a trash metal track for it’s A-mix, and the disconnect between the backing track and the vocal is horrendous (the unreleased chip-tune-tastic B-mix at least sounds better) – whilst some of the others are great. My favourite is probably the A-mix of Aoi Tori, which is dropping in so much gothic malice that it really wouldn’t sound out of place in a Vampire movie.

Anyway, onto the OAV…

Those who were hoping that the DVD with Azusa on the cover might actually have an Azusa themed omake will be sorely disappointed with this latest DVD. Those, like myself, who were disappointed with the craptacular Futami twins omake on the last disk will no doubt take a great amount of solace in the fact that this disks Chihaya and Yukiho centric featurette quite possibly has more cuts than all the previous omake put together (including some actual animation!) – a number of which break the decency levels I hold this blog to.

I’m quite sure that there are worse ways to spend your time then watching the My-ZHiME movie edit.

For example, you could watch the original version of Gundam Seed Destinys final episode through four times in a row. You could, perhaps, pay someone to stand there and kick you in the crotch for an hour and a half. You could also sit and stare at a wall for a while, although if it has recently received a fresh lick of paint it may actually prove itself to be more worthwhile.

This is very much one of those posts I’m doing simply because I’ve posted about every other volume, and the next disk is due soon (along with the far more exciting first episode of S.ifr). The omake – a discussion between the twins – isn’t really all that interesting, nor does it have any images worth capturing – there only three or four new images (not all entirely static – one’s an elevator shot). It really isn’t worth expending the effort required to re-watch carefully enough to accurately talk about.

The FP bonus is a continuation of that from the previous volume. It’s probably just as well that the actual episodes on the DVD are 18 through 20, the shit-meet-fan episodes. Kudos to Sunrise for not putting them on the cour boundary with this show like they normally do, though they did end up frustrating a lot of viewers as a result.

Screencap taken purely because it reminded me of Hinanos post the other day. Her parfait lacked the cake and pocky, though, which is probably just as well.

The ads on the DVD has the advert for the Kodomo no Jikan DVDs, which, yes, does make a big issue of the whole “no” removal thing ^^;

Oh, and only two weeks until Live For You! Yay! There was a new trailer with a couple of short clips of the OAV out a couple of days ago if you’ve not seen it yet.
