While everyone writes about Clannad (see an article at Steven's for the links which include Aroduc's slick deflection), I pin my hopes at the little OVA Tales of Symphonia placed dead last in the master list at Hashi-hime. I am weak for Ufotable after seeing 2x2 Shippunden and Manabi Straight. Of course, as fund managers say, past performance does not guarantee future performance, etc. But let's hope.
