Ooooh...now I remember. *sigh* Oh well. Clannad has more than enough tears in it. :P [Though I must confess that I've never actually watched Episode 16 and 22 of Clannad After Story/Season 2. I knew full well that if I did, I would never be the same.]

I don't really remember Melodies at all as a distinct series. I watched the two in sequence, but I don't even feel sure how much it continued the story of Memories, and how much involved new characters.

I'm reading the Kobato manga super fast online. It's fun seeing characters from other Clamp mangas. :)

On Clamp, I watched Card Captors as a kid as morning cartoons, then as a young adult watched Chobits, and when it came out Kobato. Memories are a little vague now, but I do remember liking Ioryogi, and I do think it has a somewhat sad bit towards the end, but not down right depressing.

The anime also includes a small part of Wish, another great manga.

I can barely handle it when the ice cream melts right now, Brad.

I read the first volume of Wish and really liked it because of the angels. :heart: :heart: :heart:

Will you virtually hold my hand while we watch the last bit in relative time flow?

My all time favorite series is Genshiken. I think anyone who claims to be an otaku should see that show.

You have a good point. It does address fairly hardcore otaku, though. Not everyone has to go hardcore, nor does anyone alone get to define it.

Yeah back when Genshiken began, society in general still kept otaku culture at arms length. Gradually we've reached the point where it's almost universally accepted. When viewed through the lighthearted lens of today's connotation, it does seem pretty hardcore. But I love everything about that series. The manga finally finished last year which broke my heart. But if you look at the original series and compare it with the atmosphere of Nidaime, it's almost daylight and dark. I learned to love the new characters though.

I haven't kept up with buying or reading the new manga. The new series blew me away. I've watched it twice, and I will certainly do so more times. Need to get the rest of the volumes soon.

I can't find the subbed version of Kobato online. :(
