Yep, that is the case with Lain.
Face me now, Bitch!
Kamina and Simon come to mind, too.

Ah, that runs into the problem that Simon made a point in the ending of not playing God with Spiral Power, via willingly abstaining from using his cosmic-level Spiral Power to resurrect Nia (or fix her condition beforehand, if that was a possible application of Spiral Power). But you probably know that already.
& Haven't watched that yet, but I've already spoiled most everything for me via the article... and I am completely confused as to what exactly was the deal with The Wired's big shady secret, as well as the ending.

Utapri's V1 sales is WOAH. Over 50k BD-DVD.
Plants are aliens, and fungi are nanomachines.
*Spit Take* If it keeps that momentum, it'll be within the top 10 series since 2000!
(For those wanting the exact combined number sold, it's 54,460 with 26,207 DVDs and 28,253 Blu-Rays. This is 6th place if compared to the average sales of previously-released anime.)
EDIT: I'm hearing it was bundled with a ticket to an event. It probably won't keep that momentum.

Utapri was underestimated by Stalker by 50%. So yeah, everybody's shocked.
Plants are aliens, and fungi are nanomachines.
It definitely won't. I'm pretty sure it'll follow S1's pattern which has V1 and V6 selling substantially more than the other volumes
.
If we go off of that, S2 should average about 36k.
How is it that the BD outsold the DVD though? I thought fujoshi titles always sells more DVDs than BDs.

I barely made it pass Utapri 2 01, skimmed 02, 03, couldn't get pass 4, read the summaries and just watched episode 13.
It is so cheesy that I couldn't help but grin. The songs do sound very nice though, especially the last one which is their debut song, I think.

Do any of you guys recognize the anime girls in this collage image? I'm under the impression that they're all supposed to be tsunderes. And is it just me, or does the middle-right pic only have two guys? Must've been picked for the "Hmph!" facial expression.

Yes, all of them.

I think some people liked the pouting faces in Photokano.
"Nullius addictus iurare in verba magistri, quo me cumque rapit tempestas, deferor hospes."

Even the boys? Well, they certainly look like they all share the same art style. Do you mind if you give some names to the faces?
Oh yeah, the pouting faces on the girls (except in middle center and middle bottom images) are very... well, exquisite. I don't remember when I've last seen face-upturned-at-an-angle pouts like these in anime.

There are ten manga in the top 20 graphic novels in terms of sales last month in the US. Nowadays, that never happens.

We've already figured out why the sales were the way they were. The shock value is gone.
At least there's support to back up our hope for The Devil is a Part-Timer getting another season. :)

I started watching Jormungand. Its pretty good and I pike how it dosent sugarcoats the brutality of arm delears world without getting all moody and depresing. The characters are all delightfully quircky.
But man,my shotacon senses are tingling. Koko sure is loko. O_o
Just finished watching Code Geass. It was... something.
Something thas been going around today.
Apparently there is going to be a new FateStayNight anime by Ufotable.
And word is that its going to be the Heaven's Feel route.......

I thought DEEN still has the f/sn anime rights?
Also, I wish we could move on from fate already. Is a Mahoutsukai No Yoru adaptation to much to ask for?
