Rocket Girls pilot
The 3rd volume of Rocket Girls turned out to contain the extras, including the pilot episode (I think it's the episode that a studio made when selling the show to sponsors). I thought I'd have an apoplexy from rage. The art is just amazing, especially if we compare it with …

Christopher Fritz documents the goings-on, including issues with the cover art. At this point I feel that Haibane Renmei is merely one of the only three or four greatest series ever and thus it's far above animeblogger's poor power to add or detract. So, I only anticipate some unique insight …
