I dunno how satisfying a sad ending would have been, but a time reset did feel like a cop-out. I still liked it though.

It was a "cop-out" for an anime, but it fits its source material perfectly, so I'm fine with it. But I'm also a sucker for happy endings.

I didn't mention the game because well... we were (or I was) judging the anime. But for a game I think it's fine, especially since you need to work for that true ending (or so I'm told).

Well yeah, but it was an anime based on the game. There's nothing wrong with it referencing the "perfect ending" to the source material in the form of what, the one final episode?

[Man0warr]

The anime was pretty much a mirror of the true ending of the game. People would of been pretty upset if they didn't end it that way.

pic won't show, which makes "once you see it" amusing
edit: working now, but if there's something I am supposed to see other than blatant fanservice I'm missing it

Doesn't load for me, either. Nor does c+p'ing the link the post.

Spoiler's empty when I quote it. Tricks.

I'm using SubDesu for Mitsudomoe are there any better groups subbing the show? I like SubDesu but they're a bit slow and I'm jonesing for more. If not I'll wait.

As for the show, so far I've loved all the scenes with the father more than any other, although they're all pretty funny.

I didn't say or mean to imply it was "wrong" in anyway, but it still feels like a cop-out ending when done like that. I mean, in a game an ending like that seems quite natural, but in After Story it didn't.

Well, I think most people would be upset lol, it would have been a sad ending.

@JigglyJam

I like Ravesubs, but they're slow. Crunchyroll/Horriblesubs (doesn't matter which) are pretty fast though, so give them a try.

I mean, in a game an ending like that seems quite natural, but in After Story it didn't.

It was natural enough for me to accept it. I mean, they did work up the backstory of the other dimension and it's ability to grant wishes during the previous 45 episodes after all.

I wouldn't have minded it if there was no second occurrence of clannaids(Ushio's death) and he ended up just hooking up with Kyou. That would have been a nice ending too. :3

Late quote, but hey. This made me giggle since my friends and me were joking about this on the 10th. :< Huzzah.

Extra late to this, but what's there to giggle about, I'm not getting it? Is it the attacks coming from north america? I'm pretty sure the show is set in an alternate history where the US colonies never split from Great Britian, which is why they're so powerful.

ok, NOW I get it, it was 8/10/2010 =/ /sigh

I dunno how satisfying a sad ending would have been, but a time reset did feel like a cop-out. I still liked it though.

Sad ending are always bitter, but this happy ending kinda destroyed the realism they were reaching in the last few episodes. A miracle to save Ushio would have been more than enough for me.
Anyway, I'm just not a big fan of time reset that make everyone's action meaningless (sure, the main character remember it, but everyone else from the alternate timeline is gone)

Ookami-San Ep8
http://i36.tinypic.com/rc4zt1.jpg
OK, this was a brain fart episode, funny with all the weird cameos*you know you have the voice cast, why not let them talk?", but the biggest WTF has to be Ringo's passionate kiss to Ryouko( I'll never get this out my head, did she stick her tongue or not).

This probably the weakest episode in the series. I wanted some Ookami battle, not this movie tease, and Yuri kissing. oh well can't win them all, at least I had some good laughs.

[Maguspk]

wtf the railgun chick, taiga and lesbian kissing? WHAT THE FUCK. I actually liked Ookami what the FUCK.

[Tymon]

Only part of the episode I liked was the butler's hilarious dialogue

A true man.

[Khajit]

I just watched it and what crack are you on? That shit was hilarious. I couldnt stop laughing when the door shut and she started banging the guy so hard you saw the steel wall get dents. I would categorize it under a filler episode but it was a hilarious one.

[Odesseiron]

Is the OVA for Hellsing 8 where Alucard unleashes hell? Please say it is If I have to wait ANOTHER year for that I might cry.

Although kinda curious to see the werewolf fight + young alucard vs walter fight. want to see it all in its epic glory...!
