Other News
The Animate HQ in Ikebukuro is advertising hard for Volume 5 of Ki ni Natteru Hito ha Otoko Janakatta, with banners on the first and second floor walls. If you have never been there, you may not understand how *much* real estate that is for the store, I’ve never seen any series take up more than one floor’s walls.
Via YNN Sr. Correspondent Sean Gaffney, ANN’s This Week in Anime takes on anime endings that left viewers feeling unsatisfied, with Goodbye, Lara being the inspiration, in Unhappy with Endings.
