   “and is Yumemi the worst name in anime history? It’s the equivalent of calling your daughter Dreamseer. ”

   Forgetting the innovator names of Gundam 00?
   Also, just for curiosity, who were those “epic fail self-proclaimed bloggers”?

   Wow I really did forget G00’s innovator names. OK I shall now say that Yumemi is the worst Japanese name ever.

   Just check on animeNano for who has blogged Munto! Only a handful…

   I did a side-by-side comparison between the first OVA and the first TV episode. At least 80% of the footage is the same, shot-for-shot. There’s framing changes because of the different aspect ratio, some re-editing, some updated 3D effects, some re-compositing, a handful of redrawn animation and a handful of entirely new sequences. That being said, the music and voices, as well as the OP and ED are all new.

   orz I got a job thrown my way. That hasn’t happened for a long time….and Munto is the one KyoAni series I still know little about. Not for lack of trying, though.

   Oh well, I’ll consider giving this the trial run as well.

   Clearly, the sports bra’s to keep his nipples from chaffing.

   Calling someone 夢見 yumemi is like giving somebody the surname 末長 suenaga (you know who I’m talking about lol). I suppose it’s the lack of creativity.

   I only truly facepalm.jpged when I found out that there was a character in School Days called 世界 Sekai.

    I actually enjoyed the original Munto OVA when it first came around. And I was baffled at the whole sports bra thing, too. But eventually he got himself a better costume [sort of].

    I couldn’t help but notice Yumemi wearing a sailormoon outfit in the OP, though.

    To clear up the misunderstanding;

    For the first,Munto’s “sportsbra” (pfff),was a very short shirt,without sleves.

    The first drawer/designer drew him with a very thin long stmach,and big flowing red hair,and cloths that showed his (cold)stomach,and that gave him a wild-punkish-look. He was more a hothead in the OVA. In the anime he is more a gentle…bishie. T_T HIs cloths too…

    Yumemi(the name) can also mean Dreamful,true its a strange,rare name,but its not that bad! T^T
    Its actually says alot about her personality.

Do not use any < and > for your own sake. It will end the comment there and then. Also, there is an automatic IQ filter which weeds out comments made by those who accidentally got transported from the stone age.
