Yes, anyone? Any Nemu AND Kotori fan here? Yes, I see one solit… okay, no more, lynched by fellow Kotori fans. Ah, another brave soul in Nemu’s cam….. nope. He’s now crispier than the stake he is hanging on. No one? Alright I know I’m going to receive death-threats, petrol bombs or worse Yoakena ~Cabbage love~ DVDs in my mailbox but this needs to be said -
I’m a NKF (Nemu-Kotori fan)
And why not? Can’t one love 2 thoroughly fabulous bishoujos? Must one be EITHER a Kotori fan or Nemu supporter? That’s WHY I support polygamy!

Having witness the massive ranks of Kotori supporters back in the days of Da Capo (2003), I thought the Kotori-centric Da Capo IF OVA (released on xmas 2008 with the Da Capo boxset in Japan) would make a big splash in the anime community. It’s been more than a week since and there’s been barely a ripple. I’m not sure if it’s because the subs for the OVA is not out though we know that’s hardly a barrier for fanboys baying for Kotori goodness.
To this date, there has been 3 entries on animenano about the OVA and 23 users who have rated the series (very high average btw) on Myanimelist. Digging deeper, I dived into the relevant myanimelist and animesuki forums to find rather subdued activities. A painful thought interjected as I scoured the interwebs for more in-depth interactions about the OVA -
Is Kotori fandom is its dying throes?
Apparently so. Shirakawa Kotori fanclub on Myanimelist hasn’t touched the 100 members mark (c.f Fate Testarossa who has more than 1800 members). Just what happened to the hordes of Kotori lovers that thronged the animeboards and hogged anime channels back in 2003? Here’s some speculation of the love lost.

This is a dream. come. true. It’s as if ZEXCS read my wishlist and granted ALL of them with overflowing abundance. Where all of the D.C. vehicles had failed in conveying the full, unadulterated beauty of Kotori, D.C.if succeeded. Finally, FINALLY, there is a vessel worthy of our eternal goddess. Since few have caught the OVA, allow me a not-so-quick summary of the ep before going into my thoughts.

Despite the global financial turmoil in the final quarter, my overall 2D-related spendings remained healthy for 2008. Chalking up a not-so-grand total of approx S$3200, I’m glad to have reported that my budget for the year was adhered to in spite of several stray purchases. Compared to 2007, my 2008 expenditure only rose by 7% (~S$200). Considering the price increase in PVC and 2D related merchandise, I’d say 2D goods beast in me has been tamed indeed. :P Of course not without Zyl and Wife-chan’s help whose invaluable advice has kept me from busting my figure quota this year. Here’s a breakdown of 2D-related purchases in 3 categories.
Anime DVDs
A total of 13 anime titles were acquired this year at a cost of approx S$1150. That translates to about S$88 per series or S$12 per anime DVD. Yes I bought 5 Naruto volumes for my nephew and boy are they expensive XD. Anyhow, here’s the DVD list.

Save for the Shuffle! DVD bundle, TheRightStuf 12 days of xmas sale was a rather disappointing affair for me. The only other item that mildly tempting was the DNAngel Boxset offered on the 13th day but since it was not on my to-get list, I hardened my heart against acquiring it. Then came TRS’s year-end clearance sale. Resolving to get some bargains out of this promotion, I dug deeper into the site to discover 5 potential purchases.
Shuffle DVD boxset - To be released in late March, the boxset is the reason I didn’t buy the xmas bundle. Personally, SHUFFLE! hasn’t been a very consistent series for me. The Shia and Nerine parts fell flat with me so I’m essentially getting the series for the Kaede/Asa/Primula bits which more than justifies the price.
Soukou no Strain DVD boxset - Given the new R1 title, I almost missed out on this boxset. Another series which could have ended so much better if the motivations for Ralph’s betrayal were better conceived. Still the series was a great ride with some hair-raising moments.
