The Second Coming of Eiken. ...uh, no pun intended. But yes, that seems to be the level of class Allen's pick of the week, Tsugumomo: season 2 OVA, is going for. Are we hearkening back to the days when OAVs (or OVAs) were mostly dumping grounds for that sort of thing? Possibly? At any rate, that's our lot for this week. Hopefully, we'll have something better next week. With the rating for this week's show, the hole would have to be deep for that not to be the case, huh? See you all then. -Stig Høgset.
