Not sure how Lou, but i you say so.
@Agnosia: Ah, i though that must have been it, that one slipped by me. As far as im concerned, Funi takes way to long to use the licenses they acquired, they've been sitting on Index/Railgun for how long now?
Of course, in that situation i didn't mind as much, since stretching the time allowed for those new special edition's to start coming out, as opposed to those cardboard sleeves they had been using lately.
But in some ways, i wonder if its worth streaming a show prior to release. I remember reading somewhere that there was a lower chance that an anime available on CR would be licensed due to a reduced demand after its been viewed.

Interesting stuff about MS*M, it might get a sequel/side story. Shinbo has plans of making a slice-of-life alternative. Article about Gen's writing (possibly no Good End for MSMM)
Gen Urob*chi wants to write stories that can warm people's hearts.
Those who knew about my creative history would probably furrow their brows and think this is a cold joke. In truth, I could not completely believe it, either. For when I start typing out words on the keyboard, the stories my brain comes up with are always full of madness and despair.
In fact, I wasn't like this before. I have often written pieces that didn't have a perfect ending, but by the last chapter the protagonist would still possess a belief that "Although there will be many hardships to come, I still have to hold on".
But from I don't know when, I can no longer write works like this.
I am full of hatred towards men's so-called happiness, and had to push the characters I poured my heart out to create into the abyss of tragedy.
For all things in the world, if we just leave them alone and pay them no attention, are bound to advance in a negative direction.
Just like how no matter what we do we cannot stop the universe from getting colder, it is only a world that is created through a compilation of "progresses of common sense"; it can never escape the bond age of its physical laws.
(Continued on next post...)

(continued from above)
Therefore, in order to write a perfect ending for a story you have to twist the laws of cause and effect, reverse black and white, and even possess a power to move in the opposite direction from the rule of the universe. Only a heavenly and chaste soul that can sing carols of praise towards humanity can save the story. To write a story with a perfect ending is a double challenge to the author's body and soul.
Gen Urob*chi had lost that power. He still hasn't recovered. The "tragedy syndrome" is still continuing within me. Is this a terminal disease? Should I give up on the pure "warrior of love" that I have longed for? Or mount a pallid battle steed and reincarnate into a bearer of the plague... could it be that I can only create pieces that give men courage and hope in my next life? (When I wrote this, I wrote "courage" as "lingering ghosts". Could this be because of using IME - Ah, I wrote "IME" as "hatred" - are there no chances of recovery for me?)

Done.

"So far ive managed to survive by watching Chaos;Head (since theres a sequel to it next season) but ive only got 3 episodes left. "
Oh, seems I have to put that on my watching list too then. Are there any other sequels coming out next season of which it's worth watching the prequel?

I just started watching Great Teacher Onizuka. First I was unsure if I would be able to watch a show of more than 26 episodes (it has 43), but so far I'm enjoying it. Onizuka is a great character indeed.

Mmm, lesse, next season sequels are:
Steins;Gate (sequel to Chaos;Head)
The World God Only Knows S2
Seikon No Qwaser S2
Maria Holic S2
Kampfer S2
Gintama (S whatever thats up to)
Out of those, ive see Mariaholic, The World God Only Knows and Kampfer. All ok, but nothing i could whole-heartedly call a must see.

As for the news concerning Madoka,i certainly didn't expect that lol. Not that i particularly mind or anything, i went into it expecting that sort of thing, but it sure will feel strange to not be constantly wondering who's gonna get killed off next.
Of course, going by the reputation of the writer and what you posted above, i expect that we'll probally still end up wondering that, even if a 'heart warming story' is the objective.
Assuming such a project does go ahead, i think the big question is whether it will cut out the magic/witches completely, or go the way of the Evangelion spin-off's and keep it there as a plot device. Personally i hope for the former (though hopefully they retain the evil ferret)since i always found the constant inclusion of NERV in the Eva spin-off's to be kinda annoying (but then, that might just be because its just an excuse for Shinji to whine).
PS- I find it funny that in ANN'* article on the subject, the first thing that they mention about potential contents is 'bath scene'. Draw from that whatever inferences you wish :P .
