@Earnshaw30
I know what you mean eh, those last few episodes of random mind-screwery just completely come out of nowhere. Technically they arent really the 'true ending' though, since as far as I'm aware they ended the series the way they did due to the fact that the budget ran out, not because it was originally meant to end that way. The 'true' ending is the End of Evangelion film, which is intended to replace those two episodes.
@Wced
Excellent :) . If this is indeed true (source please. And which magazine exactly, there's a few Dengeki mags) then I would wager that its most likely going to be a VN, since it was announced in January 2011 that Key were supposedly looking into whether there was enough additional story content for an AB visual novel adaptation (plus they will already be busy with Little Busters as far as the anime front goes).
They were supposed to make an announcement on whether they were going to go ahead with it sometime midway through last year, but the announcement never came, so perhaps it was delayed while they focused their attention on Rewrite. Announcing it about now would follow Key's usual modus operadi (they usually make them early April), plus this also ties in with the date of the official announcement of the Little Busters! anime (for which a commercial was already leaked).
@Dynamic
Ao no Exorsist was released sub only, so there is no dub.

OTHER NEWS
Got an email from Rightstuf today to inform me that since I can still have the Madoka Magica LE's shipped directly to me rather than having to go though a carrier service, due to the fact that I placed my order long before the change in distribution rules. Saves me the hassle and $38, so im happy.

And finally, an update on the Little Busters anime. A trailer for it has appeared on Key's homepage (their usual April fools joke that will actually be real), and judging by the character designs/art featured in it I am willing to bet that Kyoto Animation will be the ones animating the series. Somewhat mixed feelings about that though.
On the one hand we have Kyoani's past contributions in respect to Key properties, which I think we can all agree have been absolutely stellar. On the other, less positive hand we have the fact that in more recent times the character designs of pretty much all of Kyoani's properties have had a significant resemblance to those first used in K-On, and its showing through quite significantly here.
I wont say that I don't like Moe, since that would be an absolute lie, but what worked for K-On dsent necessarily work with other series. Given that the trailer is mostly comprised of anime versions of CG from the original game its easy to compare the two, and I have to say that I defiantly like the VN designs more.
The quality of the animation in the trailer was somewhat lacking, as many of the people on YT are noting, so this seems more to be a concept release than an actual complete trailer for the series, which hopefully means more refinments will be made.
Also, Saya's in it, yay. The trailer only shows the back of her head, but it would be pretty hard to mistake it for someone elses :P

Hi guys;
After re-watching HOTD, it got me thinking as to whether or not there would be a second season. I don't think there will be because apparently it didn't do so well in Japan but did really well in the States.
Answers please because after the OVA, it did state that it would return (If I remember correctly)?

Raikenzera;
As far as I am aware, Japan doesn't give a fig in terms of popularity in other countries other than its own considering a lot more anime/manga is sold in Japan than in any other country. I know the manga flopped because, if I am not incorrect in assuming, it was described as "One of the worst of all time".
Don't know about the anime that much though in terms of popularity.
EDIT:
Bad grammar is bad.

Do you guys think One Piece will continue after Luffy becomes hokage?
I think Luffy will turn Super Saiyan judging by the last chapter in One Piece Shippuuden *. His hollow form just can't keep up with OrochiAizen. But in the other hand, Sasuke just found the dragonballs and wishes for a sudden ichigo-like powerup.
PS. April Fools
PPS. There will be OreImo S2. Announced at Anime Contents Expo. <---Serious.

I'm addicted to Elfen Lied's opening song. It's just so beautifully sad that I can't stop listening to it.
