My Aria the Origination DVD box set arrived today. I feel like dropping everything and just having an Aria marathon through the night.
Also, I finally got around to watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei. I went through all five episodes in a row last night, and wow, I'd forgotten just how great Higurashi is when you see it for the first time. Rewatching the first series with my friends has been entertaining, but it does lose something when you already know what's going to happen.
The Maria-sama ga Miteru parody in ep5 made me pause the video and laugh until my eyes were watering, by the way. That may just be the best comedic episode in the entire show.
