A beautiful and mournful Clannad MAD is currently sitting on Nico’s Top 3 in the “Anime” chart, “Itoshii Hito E” (To My Beloved).

Veteran cosplayer Saya is here shown modeling the proper way to show of zettai ryouiki (the region of flesh typically exposed between knee socks and skirt hems, eroticised by many), using Clannad’s Kyou Fujibayashi as a subject.
Those with a penchant for girls with knee socks and short skirts are sure to see something of interest below:

Clannad fans have prepared an explanatory diagram which lays out the storyline of Clannad and Clannad After Story in detail; certainly a handy thing considering how convoluted they appear.

Some truly lovely images of the vast Touhou Project cast of characters have been put up by one talented artist, とむそおや / Tomusooya, onto his site with regularity for some time now, some of which we have seen before.
Collected here is a small gallery of his artwork depicting many more of the Touhou bishoujo, as well as some of his art from other series such as Clannad:

These are the sales rankings for anime DVDs as compiled by Oricon for the week of Feb. 6 2009. In addition, the much longed for availability of BD sales rankings is slowly arriving, albeit still lacking exact sales numbers and being reported with a significant delay.
It has been some time since we last covered sales rankings of this sort, but as the latest weekly rankings chart is quite similar to those of recent weeks, it does succinctly demonstrate what sort of releases are popular and being purchased on the streets of Japan currently.

Toradora, ef: a tale of melodies, Musubi of Sekirei and even dear Nagisa-chan of Clannad have received their own ita-curry products, catered specifically for otaku culinary taste.

Apparently, the growing reach of Akiba (and moe) knows few boundaries.
