ZERO ZANY. {and no, the period is not a typo.}

This series, until recently as in this week, was listed on the IM hp in their "works" section. Its disappearance from both the works page and the general news was confusing at first until I tracked it down only to discover it is a joint venture between IM and 5pb. Apparently, the IM works page has now been strictly dedicated to introducing IM only works.

The does not make a whole lot of sense to me from a monetary perspective. Since they would be getting some cut of the profits from ZERO ZANY., I would think they would want to advertise and entice people into purchasing it. But ultimately, that is their dilemma, not mine. I am just hear to share the goodness. And it is good.
I just wonder who Dorothy is supposed to be?

ZERO ZANY.



[ Summary ]
It is a new world.
Assassins are recognized as public servants and murder is a legallalized establishment. Those that are not useful to the country are 'cleansed' by legitimate assassins recognized by the Diet.
And then there is「ZERO ZANY.」. Commonly called OZ, this is the home of the illegitimate assassins. Through their clients and targets now begins the final futile struggle of those that have lost their ability to live lawfully.

Good news is, if you don't have it yet, jump to amazon JP for samples of each of the tracks. I clicked on a track to try it out and it loads up its own nice player with all the CD tracks to choose from meaning that you do not need to rely on windoze or tricks to get around windoze only みんな滅べばいいのに traitorous sites like Animate. About 45 seconds per sample track.

Also, unlike the hugely popular Alice? series for some reason this miniseries has a short introductory video you can watch off the official ZERO ZANY. site. Again, I don't know why. It is not that it is bad - they have a great cast lineup and quite an interesting plot line - but it is no comparison to Twilight Suicide or Are You Alice?.

That being said, it gets really good with the second installment. {I really have to restrain myself from saying anything more.} In the first installment you find yourself dumped squarely in an almost day in the life scenario in Mayberry. Provided Mayberry is on crack and into cutting. No sense of prelude or introduction. You hit the ground running and it's full speed ahead! And that in itself is an interesting stylistic deviation from the norm. But it's in CODE-02 where they really take you for a ride.

Stay tuned and happy listening~! (^_-)-☆
really! you can listen this time!
