On Comipas: I don't know if this is how it actually works or not, but the stories make it out to be a monthly (or near-about) event, with the two biggest being summer and winter.

PS - This was volume three, not two (the cover art and descriptions on ANN navigation frame anyway, but the "splashing in water" was volume two.) Had hoped to submit my review on this one, but the last episode broke my fragile little mind.

Comic Party was remade into Revolution, but the second version has much more in common with the manga.


It is much more harem oriented like the new manga (ADV) while thankfully not following the story, but as a result both feel a little off from the first (CPM.)

That's just sick. At least I feel better about not being the only one who hasn't gotten around to getting new batteries for all the shots needed.

where did you buy your shelves- i need so new ones


My personal recommendation is (not a spoiler, just don't want it to seem like blatant advertising) spoiler[Atlantic's new 1080/504s. Since they fixed the spacing issues plaguing the 756/360s, these things are 8 shelf behemoths. Mine is currently serving as an actual bookshelf (hopefully pictures to follow,) but MM books and DVDs are about the same size, so I done with the smaller ones.]

Actually, the CPM release had nothing to do with the the other three Comic Party properties. It consisted of efforts from independent artists, in the doujinshi spirit of Comic Party. Also, while ADV did handle Revolution, Tokyopop published the Inui version of the manga, which was the basis both for both anime series.

I caught that little gaffe earlier while shelving this week's arrivals. Therefore, I must apologize for my spell-checker (me staring at the screen for ten seconds wondering why it looked wrong) not catching it sooner.

While I won't argue with you regarding the character designs being generic, I would hardly describe the plot as generic. Don't let pictures fool you.
