J.C. Staff's Original Sins?
Does J.C. Staff commit sins of anime-original injustice? Myssa Rei contented that 'J.C. Staff seems to stumble when they have to make things on the fly'. Haesslich pointed to 'levels of failure' in ZnT 2 & 3 as well as parts of Shana 2; J.C. Staff original = t3h suck?
I'm not really able to comment meaningfully on the above hypothesis with reference to ToraDora! or Shana2 because I haven't seen the manga or light novels respectively and I didn't even watch ZnT 2 or 3. But two thoughts do come to mind.
The Male Harem Lead as the Key Variable
Note on the poster: ▼ Show
Speaking of pervy teachers, our esteemed Academy Director Stripey made a strong claim that the male harem lead was the key variable in determining the success of a harem anime during the most recent Hontou Ni Staff Conference. This excerpt (skypecast, 1:22 min, 1.26 MB) was part of a discussion about Mizuho's role as the harem lead for OtoBoku. Stripey posited that a clearly unworthy harem lead would impact unfavourably on the desirability of the harem females; a lousy male harem lead would overwhelm other variables such as basis of attraction, character design, quality of animation, voice acting and so on.
January Loot
Bought Azumanga Daioh DVD Vol.1-6 over Christmas and first week of the new year from Forbidden Planet London and Amazon.co.uk. Absolutely lovely series though some of my friends whom I lent my non-DVD copy to commented that there were too many Japanese puns in the series for their liking (presaged by the untranslatable title) or that "nothing happens!" Bah, philistines! 
And due to Erica's reviews at Okazu, I got the complete set of GONZO's Bakuretsu Tenshi manga via the Yuricon shop's convenient links to Amazon.co.jp. Shipping cost was more than the manga themselves though. T_T
