God refuses to allow this, so he sends his angels to the past to kill Sakura before he can do this. But one angel, Dokuro-chan, decides to try to change the future without killing him. Problem is, Dokuro is very temperamental, and is constantly killing Sakura (and lots of other people too) in incredibly bloody ways with her giant spiked club. Good thing she can bring people back to life - if only to gruesomely kill them again the next time she loses her temper.

Since I just bought the Special Edition with the new dub and it should be here Monday, and also because the other thread on this series is more just info on the SE release, I figured I would make an actual thread on this for us to enjoy.
This is another blind buy for me. I’ve heard quite a lot about this series (some bad, most good) and since they went back and dubbed it after first releasing it sub-only, and re-released it in Special Edition, I figured I’d pick it up and try it out.
I just got through watching and I found it enjoyable. The bad run time on each espisode is 15, yes, it really like watching 6 regular episodes. Weird thing happned I was not able to watch last 2 episodes on my PS2; the episodes did not show up on the select scene section. Put it in my PS3 and the episodes showed up. My favorite episode was
were Dokur-chan killed Sakura every other minute to the point when she could no longer remember why she was killing him.
I loved this series, didn’t know they were dubbing it though! I liked the first season more, the 2nd season seemed like one of those situations where they just wanted live off the fame of the first. It’s been awhile since I watched it, so can’t remember much about it, at least not enough to share what episode I liked the most.
It was a blind buy for me, and I think it was money well spent.
Not watched yet ,but I got to say I really love how shiny all of Media Blasters disc are. Seriously it looks like the have a clear coat on top. Also love the Media Blasters two disc sets. Guess what they do? They hold the disc. Though because of the flipper I thought the disc was loose so I was like **** then opened it and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yeah.
Mine came in on Tue. and the first thing I thought was “damn I actually got a floater…”, though after opening it up I was rather releived to see the wing.
The packaging was not too bad. At least the disk are easy to remove unlike some Funmation packaging. Consider the design on the wing a couple of stand offs would have help and should not have add that much extra to the cost. The wings are a fairly expensive optoin.
Decided to start on this tonight since it’s short.
Just finished up the first DVD, and I must say, this series is just funny as hell!
Since it was a blind buy, I wasn’t too sure what to expect, but I’m so glad I bought it now.
Anime ratings are more broad than game/movie ratings. BTW, is this hybrid or dub only? It’s kind of a step backwards to do just sub/ just dub again. And yes I know the subs came first, and yes i know it was a financial thing.
They’re not specifically anime ratings, but the TV rating system. And gaming ratings are just as broad and really mean nothing if people don’t enforce them.
