The new skin is fantastic. Heh. I know I just laughed and laughed when I first saw it. And then I immediately started spamming people with a link to it. :p
Hehe. Last week when you first unveiled the skin, all the staff-types kinda exploded with the greatness of it all.
Then we had to educate Adam on why this was so brilliant; then he just got upset that he spent all that time learning the Hare Hare Yukai and that it's now old news-ish. So yeah, you're awesome.
As for the other stuff . . . heh, I totally lost track of all the new spring anime. Glad to know that I know many who still know of this stuff, y'know?
Haha, that explains it. (I never even realized that it was possible to change skins in your profile!) I always used the menu at the bottom before, but I must've changed my browser settings WRT how long cookies get kept.
If you use the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page to switch skins it will only save your choice until the cookie it sets expires or gets cleared upon logging out. You probably just need to set your default skin choice on the edit options page so that it's saved to your account.
There was a little note at the end of the Marimite OAV saying, "4th season in production," but that's all I've heard about it. I'm looking forward to it whenever it ends up starting.
I've seen two episodes of Kanokon now and it makes me hold my head in my hands and wonder where it all went wrong, that I enjoy it as much as I do. (Though now that I think about it, starting to watch stuff like Mahoromatic and Popotan was probably it....) I swear, 90% of the screen time Kouta gets, he's got one of the girls hanging off him. Which wouldn't be too bad except they're naked or in the process of getting naked for a good part of that time. I feel like I might as well just watch a hentai instead and be done with it.
The Caramelldansen skin is fucking legendary. It's like... if OB had a pantheon of the gods or something, you stole Zeus' throne.
On that subject, though, none of the alternate skins are "sticking" for me (they stay as long as I'm navigating in OB, but revert to Indigo if I go to another page and then come back). Think I just need to clear my cookies or something? ^^;
I've said this before, but Strawberry Panic doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Marimite (well, the first two seasons at least - in the OVA they drop most of the austerity that made it so great in the first place. BOO). I summed up my feelings on it way back here. One of the reasons why Marimite was so great (well, again, for the first two seasons at least) was that it was completely devoid of moe and refused to pander to the audience; there really hasn't been much like it since. There's been whispers about a third season, too - I have high hopes.
Popotan, on the other hand... man. I never really liked it as a whole show, but there are a couple of things it does that just work wonderfully. The emotional bits actually hold together, amazingly! It doesn't choke at the ending! Mea is completely awesome! And then, of course, there's Halko, Halko, and more Halko, and any show that lets her cut loose with the denpa voice is all right in my book.
I'm surprised you didn't go for Kanokon more; that's struck me as one of the staples of the season so far. Well, tastes may differ I guess.

So that skin is the Official OB Rickroll, then?

:p The Caramelldansen skin is addicting. ^_^ I have it set as my default since I love watching those girls dance to that silly and fun music. Hehe.
