I demand that episode gets shown!!! (three exclamation marks to emphasize my emotions of course)
Same on here, the beginning was funny, good, etc. But then it became crappy and no fanservice. :S
the DVD version of that episode came out and subbed. And it is the way it was intended

I wish I could see an apologizing message from the company when the episode was supposed to air: "Sorry. Our director just ran awy with the manuscript. This anime will no longer be avaliable."
And the axe incident was so inconvenient. I mean... why the hell she had to manifest her insanity right in the airing day!?
I'm glad I didn't begin watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai. I'd probably be curious as hell about what would happen next.

So much fun when creating anime episodes~
I wish i would be able to see "The production manager ran away with the manuscript." x''D
That's true. Had to control my snickering in the library after reading that. It totally made my day.

The axe girl scared me O_O and is sad that in the news everyone made jokes and only cared about the anime show, shure, people day every day, but that doesnt means is less important than a anime ep., besides, it would be really stupid if someone decided to aired the ep after right after that... =/

I am very disappointed about Kekkaishi having low ratings.
It still makes the top 10 from time to time for anime ratings. In fact it was 7th last week.

I mean really, WTF did he wanted to do with it?
Honestly ... Japan scares me sometimes but it has it's (sadly) amusing parts as well xD
Would like to hear about past Mishaps like this in the past few years...
Surely there has to be some funny stuff not just from this year...
