    Traveling Whimsical Roads with Izumi Matsumoto

    I remember when I watched the first episode of KOR on
    VCR tape rented. I did not think much of it but returned after
    a while for my completist drive. I ended up buying the full
    boxed set from AnimEgo. I got to read the manga script on
    line and later the whole manga which is more aimed at the
    cohesiveness while the Christmas episodes of the manga sort
    of destroy that cohesiveness. But also the treatment of
    Hikaru's reaction is better in the manga than the TV anime.
    On the other hand the movie covering the same is very good.

    bliss-"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
    "Uh, I think so, Brain, but balancing a family and a career...
    ooh, it's all too much for me."
