Man, something about seeing the animators try and make Nagi, who possesses the body of a sixteen… fifteen (?) year old body, look matronly is…. weird.

Haesslich: Actually, they are VERY close to the CLANNAD VN frames. Another jab by Yamakan at his old bosses?

As for gleaning, I’d thought you were at the Beach arc of Kannagi at this point, meaning you’ve read past Hakua’s chapter? That’s much further than I’ve read of the series.

From what we can glean with Zange’s arguments with Hakua, she seems to be MUCH more the ’shy’ type than Zange is – or if we’re to drag in some other ‘gods’, she’s more like All-Woman Mikuru as compared to Hakua’s present-day shrinking-violet Mikuru.. who was around, but apparently couldn’t even bear to approach Jin despite liking him, and that appears to be part of why Zange’s so aggressive with the boy (beyond taking him away from her sister’s influence).

And aren’t those VN screens from Clannad? It’s very much in that style – and personally, I will admit I like Zange AND Nagi for very different reasons.

The VN scenes had me ROFLing. Especially since I’m a heavy VN player, that one really got me.

And the Daitetsu stalker call…Brrrrr.

Shokkeru: Subject for another season, at this rate, as Hakua’s story (and her connection to both Jin and Zange) apparently spans a few chapters (didn’t read to avoid spoiling myself, unlike Haesslich).

@Jarmel: Yeah, it’s cool that Jin is standing up the abuse he’s given, but it’s kind of tiring seeing that same situation again and again like a broken record.

@Myssa Rei: I’m really interested in seeing what kind of person Hakua is/was before Zange came into the picture.

As for the whole rage thing. I’m not so sure it’s the whole “gods should be pure” thing but more of a “cute girls I like in anime should be virgins because I am” thing… okay maybe that’s a bit exaggerated but still.

Pretty much the first hint of the drama that’s pretty much taken over the later volumes of Kannagi, where Nagi’s origins and her dual nature seem to have come more into focus. Incidentally, this is also around the same time we get a look into Hakua’s past as well (which means we WON’T see any of it this season)… And how much of a DOUCHE her father really is.

As for all the Nerd Rage/Otaku Rage… It’s all too much fuss about nothing, if you ask me. Foolish Elevens haven’t brushed up on their mythology, I see; wakeup call berks, Gods of ANY pantheon, barring a few rare examples, have never been known for their chastity.

I’m just proud of Jin showing a backbone and demand serious answers. He’s pretty much her moneydaddy and what does he have to show for it, used goods?
