Yeah the quality is actually insane. On another note I love Angel Beats!

Thanks for watching~ will go through Cartagra next week, and possibly Kara no Shoujo too, which should hopefully set up for Eustia at the end of March, unless my schoolwork gets super busy o/
|
Madoka will probably get delayed...
+ Show Spoiler +to synch up with the real Walpurgisnacht which happens on April 30 or May 1. 
Edit: Fuck yes Cartagra/Kara no Shoujo \o

I was tempted, but honestly this Kanade feels like one of the less well-designed job from GSC. Gahara-san has spoiled me in terms of ridiculously awesome design, this just isn't enough

I'm not hardcore enough to buy a figurine.

I've been tempted to buy figs before, but they're just so goddamn expensive.
Reading King of Thorn. Gotta pick something more lighthearted next time. ><

Doesn't that mean World Uniform Girl?
Har har, envious of you people who are fluent in Japanese.
+ Show Spoiler [KnK 1-4] +Okay, so the four movies come together for the 5th one. Am I suppose to know who Araya Souken is? That boy who said 'Isn't 5(?) too much' to Shiki is the guy who asked Souken what he is right? Fujino's stomach still hurts but Shiki eliminated her appendicitis but she's still hurting so when are these meetings happening? Guess I'll find out.
Wait he healed Fujino? What is going on.
I should have paid close attention to the dates;;

Order of KnK goes 2,4,3,1,5,6,7 if that helps. If you still have trouble.
+ Show Spoiler +At the end of 4 you see the pre-cursors to movies 3 and 1 (correct me if I'm wrong) So you see who the mastermind behind all those encounters was.

Next time please denote what the spoiler is about just in case.
+ Show Spoiler +Hmm I thought it would be more complicated because I thought the dates appeared many times.
