Continues where the excellent first UMD left off

"This series is continuing to be very enjoyable in this format for me. The colors, the widescreen format, the excellent sound effects and music are all very flattering to the PSP.

Story-wise, you get a very deep two part episode on this UMD, which has the main cast going separate ways right away(it's a real good laugh), has some sweet action that will get you giddy, and has some good ol tragedy strewn throughout. What you liked before will be here as well, but since it's a two-parter on one UMD, you walk away with only one long episode essentially, feeling thirsty for more.

The same exact Title Menu is reused, which is not a bad thing, but waiting two months for another two episodes, it couldn't hurt to get a little more features. Fortunately they've thrown in 3 times as many trailers for other anime(total of about 9).

This series continues to be extremely enjoyable, and well suited to this format, but the pace of getting two episodes every two months is getting to be aggravating. It will take great restraint not to abort the UMD's and buy the DVD's or do both.

Let's hope they give us some more extras because seeing the same ol trailers is getting old."
