For the artwork i have to say the characters do look really weird at some points but i guess that's its style because it doesn't get better lol as for the movie it was amazing artwork minus the characters.
I showed my bro and i asked him can you tell me if this a pic of a real mansion or a fake one he was like it looks real. i really liked the movie i have watched it twice now. I have the english version and the voices aren't bad

Well the manga revealed what they were in vol 11, which I assume will eventually get covered in the anime
They maintain the "place" that this "store" is in according to Yuko

What I really want to know is what exactly is Watanuki there for? i mean is he the eventual replacement for Yuko? kinda seems like it to me, but i could be wrong and i just rewatched a couple episodes and Yuko said Himawari isn't your lucky lady what's that supposed mean

Have you watched the first season or read the manga? It explains everything about why Watanuki is working for Yuuko and why all of this is happening. Basically, Watanuki wants to get rid of his ability to see spirits, so he goes to Yuuko, who grants wishes (for a price). The price she sets for him is that he has to work for her for a certain period of time, and the entire story revolves around the strange things that happen to him while he's with Yuuko-san.

oh i knew that but that wish didn't really happen i think she basically introduced him to doumeki who keeps the spirits away but he still chased by them. And i haven't read the mangas but i have seen the entire first season i just thought that maybe in the future the shop will be his just a thought

I've never got the impression that Watanuki would run the shop, mainly because he just doesn't know enough yet. Plus, I don't really see Yuuko leaving. But I can't say it's not within the realm of possibility.

well maybe i'm just to into the series and i am probablly over thinking a lot of it although there are many times when she always gives the impression that she is training her replacement i mean she does teach him a lot, but i guess you could say that she just teaches him to make him realize that everything is inevitable and no coincidences

anyone know why the fansubs are taking longer? i was just curious because this show usually comes out the same time Kurenai does and gets subbed about the same time but for some reason this show fell behind just hope they didn't drop it who ever was subbing it

Somebody mentioned there are some difficult sequences to probably translate properly. Apparently there's a huge mahjong sequence, with lots of mahjong jokes made with the various different plays? So 1) the translators would have to be up on their mahjong skills and 2) figure out the best way to explain the jokes to a non-mahjong playing audience.

Assuming the anime is following the manga, I'm sure that knowledge of mahjong enhances that scene, but it's not strictly necessary. The scene gets across the important point, which is that Watanuki is getting the tar beaten out of him by Yuko, Domeki and - indignity of indignities - even the black Mokona, if I remember correctly without it in front of me.

Oh so it's a possible translation issue? I was worried a C&D was already issued or something >_>

Well the 6th one finally came out and i have to say it was a pretty good episode i mean i already knew what they were trying to do but they did tell us why it took so long to sub just cause mahjong is a difficult game if you have no clue about it i have it on my comp but you just match the patterns up it's totally different

I have already watched the raw of Episode 7 and 8, but it seems that most people are waiting for the sub, so I'll talk about episode 6 instead.
First off, kudos to the staff. They took 15 pages from the manga and used it to create 24 minutes worth of entertainment. Of course, there are some addtional scene that were added to the episode.
All in all, this was the most enjoyable episode of the show up till now, with Watanuki's reaction being as funny as hell.
