Wed, 16 May 2007 12:56:35 -0400

Some magazines exist to bring you information, others to present opinions. All are commercial enterprises, which presumably means they are trying to make money for their investors. Apparently, though, Megumi exists only to lose money by giving it all away in the form of fabulous gifts to its readership. Each issue of Megami Magazine ("the Anime & Bishoujo Game Character information magazine") features tons and tons of free stuff, including wonderful posters (there are *13* two-sided color...

School Days is an extremely popular anime based on a dating-sim game about a love triangle between Makoto, his girlfriend Kotonoha and his friend Sekai, which combines beautiful characters and an incredible complex (and fairly violent) story.
