The fourth volume of Hen-Zemi will come coupled with an OVA. That is, unless Kodansha is lying to me again. Regardless of the circumstances, I’ve already pre-ordered it.
Granted, this news is old. Old as the stars. I did a google bing search on my “discovery” and found an anime news network article already announcing what I thought to be my little secret. I’ve ordered the third volume of Hen-Zemi, but it’s been nearly three months now and I still haven’t received it, thanks to my brilliant stupidity and the extremely cheap SEA shipping option offered at bk1. So I never had the chance to see this little announcement in the back that would have made clear this information.
But I’m not blaming anyone in particular here… The only thing we can really blame is my lack of enthusiasm in perusing the internet for the metaphorical scraps of smut from the tabletop. In any case, Hen-Zemi’s OVA will be amazing. I’m sure of this for several reasons:
- Kana Hanazawa will voice the female lead, Nanako Matsutaka. Kana has several merits going for her, the least of which is that she’s younger and prettier than me. Her most notable role, faithfully represented with great enthusiasm I might add, happens to be Potemayo from the anime of the same name. I believe her lesser roles include Kobato (Kobato.), Zange (Kannagi), Suou (Darker Than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini), and stuff.
- XEBEC will handle the animation. Throughout history, XEBEC has managed to make even the greatest concepts into a neat mediocre anime series.
- The script is written by someone who has yet to write anything amazing, and the director has hardly any repertoire. When you dig a hole as deep as this, then you’re bound to strike oil.
- Did you know that Gregory, our token furry-eared foreigner swallows goldfishes?
- There is an animated condom on their front page.
There is an ANIMATED CONDOM on their front page!
So essentially, I am looking forward to it.
