Oh snap! I totally forgot to respond to your comment, short as it may be. Sorry! :> Good to see you're still alive. Yeah, I'm watching Pandora Heats. It's a good show that just keeps getting better. The plot is really interesting.
Hmm... about me. I graduated college and got a bachelor's degree so I'm doing pretty good! =D It took a lot of effort for me but then again graduating is pretty hard. xD I'm currently finding out what to do next.

Hey! I see you haven't been on here for a long time but I was wondering how things are going. ^^

No problem! Btw, I'm using a mouse to vector. I think it would be more difficult with a tablet. xD
I tried to download the drama CD but the torrent didn't exist anymore. This really sucks. >_< As far as the story, I only know the info that's on Wikipedia.

Made this for you. ^^
Ah, I'm so glad you like the vector, I appreciate it! =D Yeah, I used a sketch I got from someone. Haha, that's awesome you have a Reverie collection. :'D I also save some scans and pictures but I know where to find the rest on the internet.
Hmm.. yeah our tears have been wasted in Clannad. Dozo, have a starfish. ^^
I don't remember much from the Lucky Star OVA except those frogs and the MMO they were playing. It was fun though. xD

Ah, sorry for the late reply! >.<
I agree that Planetarian has the most believable story of Key's works. Partly because there isn't any magic... though I think Reverie is pretty magical herself. xD There is an Audio CD that continues the story so yeah, I think the Junker survived. I haven't heard/read the translation myself though.
Oh man, you should totally see the Planetarian skin I made on Minitokyo. I'm also working on a wallpaper which I will gladly show you when it's done! Here's a little preview of it. I'm so glad you liked Planetarian! =D
After Story was awesome, even if it suddenly had a good ending out of nowhere. I understand how the miracle worked but it's still hard to believe. I like the ending as it is but also would've liked if it ended after Tomoya reconciled with his father. I would have found it way too sad, no.. depressing, if it ended after Ushio died.
Your Kagami profile pic is really cute. I remember she wore the Miku outfit in the Lucky Star OVA. *is still horrified by the Kero at the end of that OVA* xD

I have no idea. There were so many elements that made me question giving it a 9 overall, but there were so many shining moments in that anime, it'd be unfair to lump it with other anime that merit their 8s.
I think that even if they didn't intentionally make Minori gay, the way her character evolved, it seemed only natural that she was and that it'd be closetting her otherwise to say that she wasn't. So then, does that make the creators irresponsible? Sometimes there is only so much you can do as a writer to create a character. When that character takes life of their own and you, the person who created them, then becomes the medium through which this character lives, then I would say, by golly, you got yourself a winner there. When a writer forces their own development on a character, which is the case most often, then that character will never develop their own personality and growth.
I think this is what happened to Minori. Her characteristics showed that she was developing outside the story's direction, and as a way to keep her in line, they made her love Ryuuji. Sort of unfair, really. And safe too. It's harder to market the anime if she was in fact gay. There are so many fanboys after all.

I think she left him so that they could prove that they didn't need to be together...? Like, she had to leave him so that they would both grow up and not rely on one another. It wasn't explained and honestly, it was executed so hurriedly that it's a shadowy situation that is left mostly for us to figure it out, since their explanations seemed either too vague or so complicated that it defeated the purpose.

Thank you! If anything, it seems that her feelings for Ryuuji were something she had to shout out loud. And it's Minori, she wouldn't do something like that. Even though that entire episode with the confrontation in the classroom, everyone was spitting out stuff and being honest, it didn't seem like that would have been something she would say.
Everything she did up till the point of saying she liked him said that she liked him as a friend and was miserable because of his relationship with Taiga. It's too bad they made her like him canonically, since I thought it would have been great if she were gay. Not because of anything, but just, it would be the best handling of girl who secretly likes best friend who is also a girl ever seen in anime. It wasn't in your face, it was subtle and it was logical. So if Minori was in fact a lesbian, Toradora would not only have had a more unusual story, but a more realistic one and it would have won extra points for characterisation, since homosexual characters in anime aren't often portrayed with grace.

Awww, so it didn't work. >_< Maybe you can try installing it on another computer? I'm guessing you don't have another computer or you already tried that. :< Something else you could try is running it in VMware.
Part of what makes Key's stories so good is the suspense of disbelief. But I think they took it just a little too far with After Story yeah. It still rocked my socks though. XD

Ah I see, too bad. I should try Aria some day. It looks like a pretty good slice of life show. :D
Nia? You mean from Gurren Lagann? No, that's not her. She's called Reverie from the "kinetic" visual novel Planetarian. It's awesome but very sad at the same time.

No problem! :D
Who are the characters on your anime list? I've never seen them in any screen caps of Aria... are they fan made?
