Hey, it's what the creator says!

I hope people post here. World4ch threads stay around until they hit 1000 posts and then stay in the archives. You can't post pictures, but they're a lot better for discussion.

Yes, but almost no one goes here....

I didn't know that there was a wiki! That's pretty rad

What if Yuri is Ringo's older sister who lost her memories during the train attack? A lot of people seem to think that the 1995 train gas attacks are going to factor into the show, and that might be interesting to see happen.

From the thread on /a/.
I think this is interesting so I'll repost it here...


Ikuhara tweeted some things that 2ch thinks are relevant to the show, they seem directly related to this passage to me:

From 12/13/2010

>The illusion… that the “fated love” I meet by chance one day is undoubtedly “my other half, which was lost at some point.”
>And the illusion… that that fated love will, without a doubt, forgive me for my shortcomings.
>And I still dream of forgiving her for all her shortcomings too.


From 6/24/2011 (about a week before the show started)
>At one point, it suddenly hit me. Continuing to say the words, “You’re not it.” “It’s not you.” is life itself. Maybe it’s okay for me to stay here. Maybe I have to change. {side note: the 僕（私）is like a s/he with 1st person pronouns to make it generic}
>Will I still be me after I change? And… What happens to me if I don’t change… The miracle of meeting someone who says, “I like you the way you are.” THAT is what I want to depict.



It's a shame the anime discussions and speculations are almost only on /a/...

I don't think it could be possible. What they used during the attack, Sarin I think it was, doesn't provoke memory loss.

>>12

Oh. There goes that theory.

>>11
Thanks!

Who's translating it?
GG subs.
That would explain why I'm not watching it. Anyone else subbing it?

>>14

Hey, gg are doing a very good job so far.

A lot of people bitched about a v0 being 220p because they didn't have a better raw, but they've been doing an awesome job, even with that.

I can't wait for the next episode （　・ω・）

I'm using gg, they do a decent job.

Here's the radio rip of Nornir: http://www.mediafire.com/?sp9pnrobr1p6y4d
2ch thinks the full song is probably about 7 minutes long, so the radio clip should be about half of it.

On the same show where that was played, it was confirmed that the other song on the Nornir single, "Boys, Come Back to Me," would be the second opening theme. Presumably it'll start on episode 12 or 13, but there's been no announcement specifically about that afaik.

The single should be out on 10/5 though.

Also, in case anyone hasn't heard about it yet, the first BD is coming with a bonus CD that has 7 OST tracks and a drama titled "The Murder of Penguin 0."
