Brian's concentrated beam of pure TV listings and wry commentary barrels into the chests and hearts of all, causing massive bouts of enlightenment, laughter, and coronary failure. This week, an OAV that sucks, and more! 2008-05-03
If you're biting nails to the quick waiting for a sequel to Destiny, this OAV isn't it; this isn't a proper sequel, but a reworking of an already existing climax. However, it does provide a sense of closure that the original ending lacked.
