I could have sworn that Andrew Hung said on Anime on DVD in the forums last month that DearS would have a box releace as well.

You aren't asking for one, are you?

Seriously, aside from Miu, Nia, Takeya's stepsister, and the cutest damn endtheme period, this is a "save your money unless you want to torture someone" show.

^^; I think it's a cute show. I mean, there's plenty of things wrong with it, and there's enough cliches to choke a small child, but the character designs are absolutely adorable, and the different DearS are a really fun bunch.

I just... I kind of wish the teacher would die.

It was ok for the most part I liked the character designs but it came off as a chobits with aliens. Nyphomanic teacher got old fast. well having Ren read trashy romance novels in engrish was funny thu.

Indeed - I had enough of the oversexed teacher character after watching Mahoromatic. She was funny... the first 200 times around... Rolling Eyes

You and me both Bamboo.

I love both the series and the Manga though.

I think it's all but unilateral that dual SMG's should be taken Ms. Flaunt.

Okay, so maybe I was overreacting. I feel sorry for Takeya having to deal with all the idiots in his life. Neneko's all right, too, I guess. She kinda makes me miss Ruri. ^^;

I anticipate an awesome English dub from New Generation Pictures. They know how to make fanservice-type series more enjoyable. Very Happy

Yuck, the cast they have so far for Melody Of Oblivion is horable. Besides Carrie Shavage dives me nust, her voice bugs the hell out of me.

This is the show where the chorus of the openning is "I'm your slave!", correct?*shudders* Sorry, but no thanks; I just don't go for cliche-ridden harems anime. And the character on the front manga cover really looked pretty creepy, but that could just be me.

By UNDER17, no less. Don't worry. if you ignore the lyrics, the song rocks hard.

1) Masumi Asano could be considered kinda grating, but I find nothing wrong with it. At least we get to hear "new" people.

2) I anticipate an awesome Melody dub from New Genertion Pictures. They know how to make fanservice-type series more enjoyable Very Happy

That still doesn't dismiss it as a fanservice show. Why? Two words: Apple Crate

You forgot Bio Concerto! Surprised

But we're getting a bit off topic here. For DearS, it'll will be interesting how Liam O'Brian handles a dub.
