I won't spoil yet, but here is what I can currently say about the CD drama. For those who don't want to know anything, please skip this thread. Click to expand...

The plot includes what I've already mentioned before.

-The title is 2018

-The story begins in 2003

-Yamaki has gray hair

-Has almost all of the original core VAs

-But Renamon is absent

-The story is incomplete Click to expand...

I think I've made these vague enough. But you can also say that they're immovable conditions. I did what I could to make them interesting. Also, as the previous CD Drama 'Message' had solemn content, I wanted to offer something that was not so. Click to expand...

Regarding tense, it was a must to use the original VAs but it was also the result of putting emphasis on realism. I couldn't picture new Tamers in the flip-phone years after 2001. It wouldn't be my story if I didn't go above the audience's imagination Click to expand...

I am aware that there are faults to this new CD drama as an audio drama. Without knowing Tamers, you'd be pretty confused, and the audio cuts back in scenes without prompt. The actions are all over the place. It became an anime without the animation Click to expand...

You'll be lost if you don't concentrate when listening. That's why I said here 'I want you to close your eyes when you first listen to it.' But then I stopped writing that because I didn't think I should be forcing the audience into one specific stance Click to expand...

But for those who've watched the series, I'm sure the images will easily come to mind. In that case, that's exactly what I was going for. Though, of course, the age changes will be different in everyone's own imagination. You should be able to find another discovery in the music and SFX upon each relistening Click to expand...

In the last dubbing stage, what I was most particular about was 'pauses.' In an anime you'd be cued by visuals, but an audio work is determined by the intervals between one line to the next, scene to scene, and the timing of the music. In order to make it 'feel good,' I insisted on 'holding ground' just a little bit more Click to expand...

The gauge for that came from reproducing the format of 1 anime episode. Although, to be truthful, it's been 10 years since I've written a scenario for a 22min anime, so my senses have dulled and it became a slightly longer scenario that I want to curse myself (I wanted to include 'Days' in its entirety...) Click to expand...

However, there is one thing that I personally lament over. Why wasn't the roar in there just before the opening song...? But no, I do quite like the current segue in the final product. Also, I think maybe the last line would have been better with all three saying it. Click to expand...

Also, as I've written before, this CD Drama is not complete. With Renamon being absent, there's no way it can be complete. To tell you the truth, I've been saying since last autumn to the inside circle to do the continuation as an anime, but I got the sense that it was pretty difficult. There were also a lot of other projects, so that makes sense. Click to expand...

But I hated just waiting and leaving it all to luck, so I threw in a bomb (known as a proposal) at relevant offices yesterday on the day of sale release. While there's a hard chance of success, I thought that there was a need to make it clear that I wanted to do it. Currently, this is the most that I can do for now. Click to expand...

And we need a second post because we have the full audio drama translated to English!Huge thanks to onkei for getting this translated for everyone.The translation is 100% hers, I've made a few tweaks with her permission on naming order and the way some of the notes are included.CASTGuilmon: Masako NozawaTakato Matsuda: Makoto TsumuraTerriermon: Aoi TadaJianliang Lee: Mayumi YamaguchiRuki Makino: Fumiko OrikasaJuri Katou: Youko AsadaMitsuo Yamaki: Susumu ChibaNyx: Saki Fujita (Guest appearance)STAFFProducer: Hiromi SekiScreenplay/Song selection: Chiaki KonakaEpisode direction: Yukio KaizawaAcoustics direction: Hiroyuki Kakudou——————————–Pink superscript footnotes are written by Chiaka Konaka from his liner notes included with the Blu-ray release. Blue subscript footnotes are written by onkei for better understanding of the translation.——————————–YAMAKI: Back when humans and Digimon worked together to defeat the D-Reaper, the digital world was still a very small place. But now, a majority of the world’s lifestyle communicates through network nodesand that colossal amount of information has expanded the digital world ad infinitum. In our current standing, mankind must begin to anticipate that, from a place even deeper within the deep net, neither of which mankind can touch, something unimaginable will be born and materialize itself into the real world.TERRIERMON: Ehhh, really?GUILMON: Yeah, I think so.TERRIERMON: Well, I want to see Jian and Shaochung soon too, but—GUILMON: I don’t wanna just sit around waiting for Takato to come to the digital world!TERRIERMON: But walking around finding them is only gonna tire us out!GUILMON: [stops] Huh? But you’re not walking, Terriermon. You’ve been sitting on my head this whole time.TERRIERMON: [jumps down] I can walk, too! I just have to walk a little faster than you so I can keep up.GUILMON: [sighs and continues to walk] Where do you think Renamon went?TERRIERMON: It’s strange, isn’t it? We haven’t seen herfor a long time. Besides, Guilmon, back then, if you hadn’t—GUILMON: Ah!TERRIERMON: Huh? What?GUILMON: What… is that?TERRIERMON: Wai— I can’t see it very well, so I’m climbing up your head again. [jumps up] Wow… That’s a really steep precipe.GUILMON: Terriermon, didn’t you say that we were at the very bottom of the digital world?TERRIERMON: From a place even deeper than this one…GUILMON: Something… Something’s climbing out of there!TERRIERMON: Guilmon!TAKATO: Days ~Information and the Unordinary~TAKATO: Let’s see now… If I do this…JURI: There you are! Takato-kun!TAKATO: Ah, Ju– Katou-san!JURI: Sorry I’m late.TAKATO: Don’t worry, I wasn’t waiting that long.JURI: What’s that you’re holding?TAKATO: Oh, this? It’s called a PDA. My dad got himself a new one, so he gave his old one to me.JURI: Can you play games on it?TAKATO: No, there aren’t many games on it. It’s more like an electronic notebook.JURI: Hmm… Hey, have you seen Lee-kun and Ruki lately?TAKATO: Now that I think of it, not really…JURI: It’s harder to meet up when we’re in different middle schools, huh?TAKATO: Yeah.[silence]JURI: Do you think Guilmon and the others are doing well…?TAKATO: It’s hard to believe that two years have gone by since then…JURI: [gasps] S–Sorry, I didn’t mean to bring it up—TAKATO: It’s fine. Time really does go by quickly. It’s just… I haven’t been able to do anything to help me get closer to seeing Guilmon again… [pause] I wonder what we’d be like as adults?JURI: Y’know… I think I know what I would be.TAKATO: Huh?JURI: I want to be an elementary school teacher!TAKATO: Wow, that’s amazing! Haha, you mean an elementary school teacher like Asanuma-sensei?JURI: Haha, how did you know? Do you remember how unmotivated Asanuma-sensei was when she became our homeroom teacher?TAKATO: Yeah, I remember. But then she changed.JURI: Yeah. She faced us with more purpose.TAKATO: How old is Asanuma-sensei now?JURI: Hmm, I think she’s twenty-eight.TAKATO: Twenty-eight, huh? I wonder what we’d be like at that age… and what the digital world and real world would be like…JURI: Well… I’ll be heading home now.TAKATO: S–Sure, see you tomorrow.JURI: Bye bye!TAKATO: I always end up coming here again… The place where I hid Guilmon when he first came. [raises his voice] Heeey! [pause] A digital field won’t be showing up here anymore, and yet… Huh? W–What’s that light? It… isn’t a digital field… I’m being sucked in![TAKATO bangs into the gate]TAKATO: Ow! Wai– Wait, I can’t get through these bars! —Eh?! M–My body is changing into light!TAKATO: Huh? Where am I? Am I in the digital world? But it feels different… Heeey![A spotlight turns on]TAKATO: Eh?!YAMAKI: [through speaker] Sorry to surprise you like that, Takato-kun.TAKATO: Huh? W–Who are you? Where am I?[A sealed door opens]YAMAKI: [through speaker] Come out from that chamber.TAKATO: [under his breath] Okay…[TAKATO leaves the chamber]TAKATO: Hey, I am in the digital world!YAMAKI: Unfortunately, that’s not the case.TAKATO: Huh? Yamaki-san…? It is you! Yamaki-san, long time no see— wait, what? Why has your hair gone white?YAMAKI: Hey there, Matsuda Takato-kun. It really has been a long time.TAKATO: It’s not just your hair… Your face… What on earth happened?YAMAKI: Do you remember the time when you Tamers, we Hypnos, and Jian’s father with the Wild Bunch worked with the Digimon?TAKATO: Of course! It was just two years ago.YAMAKI: [sighs] Yes… Yes, it was… For you.TAKATO: You mean it’s not?YAMAKI: After that incident, I resigned from the government and worked for a couple of years as a civilian on long-term forecast of the World Wide Mesh. However, not too long ago, I was reinstated and the Cybersecurity Actwas passed in 2015.TAKATO: …Huh?YAMAKI: This place you see here is Nyx, an organization under the direct control of the Cabinet Secretariat. Heh, it seems that I tend to feel insecure unless I’m working in secret bases like this one.TAKATO: H–Hold on a second! Um, what year is this?YAMAKI: Oh, sorry! I heedlessly ending up talking all about myself first. I want you to meet some people who’ve been waiting a long time for you. Please come with me.TAKATO: Ehhhh?!JIANLIANG: Long time no see, Takato.RUKI: Ugh, why does Takato get to be young? Heh, have you been well, Takato?TAKATO: Jian and Ruki…? Why are you adults?!YAMAKI: I’m sorry to confuse you like this. You’re in the year 2018.TAKATO: W–Wait… Then, I’m…?TERRIERMON: Hey, Guilmon… We’ve come this far, I think it’s moumantai now…GUILMON: [slows down, gasping] That place back there was pretty intense, huh?TERRIERMON: Yeah… but…GUILMON: Hm? What’s wrong, Terriermon?TERRIERMON: Don’t quote me on this, but if we rode into that huge rapids or whirlpool-looking thing, maybe we can enter the real world.GUILMON: Ehhh?! W–We can see Takatomon and the others again?!TERRIERMON: I just thought it could happen…GUILMON: Then let’s go back!VOICE: Don’t go there.TERRIERMON: Huh?GUILMON: W–Who are you? Where is your voice coming from?VOICE: You’ll find out one day. Listen to me, Guilmon, Terriermon. When you hear a voice calling your names, head towards that instead…[The VOICE fades]TERRIERMON: Who do you think that was?GUILMON: Hmm… Mmmm… I had this feeling that it’s a voice I know…TERRIERMON: Huh? Who?GUILMON: Mmmm…… Hehe, I don’t know.TERRIERMON: Droop.TAKATO: Um, so that means… Jian and Ruki are twenty-eight years old right now? You guys look really grown-up, but at the same time, it’s like you haven’t changed…JIANLIANG: After I graduated from Stanford University, I stayed in America to research the Digimon. Of course, it was all so we could see Terriermon and the others again.YAMAKI: I asked him as a big favor to return here.TAKATO: I see… What about you, Ruki? What have you been doing?RUKI: Me? Um… When I entered university, my mom forced me to work as a model. But I got easily bored with it, so I did freestyle motocross instead. I guess challenging others is what I like most.TAKATO: Wow… W–Wait a second. Then what about me? Me in 2018—JIANLIANG: The Takato that we know said that he couldn’t stand just waiting around until Guilmon came back, so he went off to travel the world.RUKI: Juri’s been waiting for Takato for a really long time.TAKATO: Eh?YAMAKI: Last year, you suddenly disappeared from the real world without a trace. Nyx is in absolute need of the Tamers’ help, and having Matsuda Takato around is particularly essential. However, you disappeared.TAKATO: Ehhhhhhh?!CHILD: Katou-sensei! Goodbye!JURI: Goodbye! Be careful on your way home!CHILD: Okay!JURI: Guilmon’s home… I always end up coming back here again… I come here thinking that, maybe today, you’ll be back home… Takato, where are you? Wherever you are, you’re safe, right? I’ll be waiting for you.EYECATCHYAMAKI: At around 2001, Hypnos, from within the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office building, was destroyed by the D-Reaper. However, the equipment there would have been quickly outdated anyway. During these last 17 years, the digital world has perfectly overlapped with the real world, with the digital world growing far more massive.JIANLIANG: The digital world that we once journeyed through has been completely transformed.TAKATO: W–What about the Digimon?JIANLIANG: They’re there, of course! Because Yamaki-san made contact with me, I was able to devote my research efforts to Nyx here.TAKATO: Is this device what brought me from where I came from?YAMAKI: Yes. It’s still in the testing phase, but it’s finally begun operation this year. This is the realization system called the Re-Animator.TAKATO: “Realization”?RUKI: But I still don’t understand why Takato showed up as a middle school kid.YAMAKI: Hmm… I suppose there’s no other way to interpret this than that this form had the highest bio-parameters in the digital world. The Re-Animator could only scan your information from the year 2003.TAKATO: Huh? So, I’m not really me? But— Ouch! What was that for, Ruki?![RUKI laughs]JIANLIANG: [laughs] Ruki, you’re horrible.TAKATO: Don’t tug other people’s cheeks out of nowhere!RUKI: But it hurts, so that proves you have a physical body. You’ve Realized perfectly, so don’t worry.TAKATO: Huh? —Oh, I see. I guess this is like the time when Guilmon first appeared in our world.RUKI: Aww, this Takato is so small and cute! [pats TAKATO’s head]TAKATO: S–Stop that![Alarm bells ring]NYX: Warning. A digital zone has been detected in Shinjuku skies.TAKATO: W–What’s going on?YAMAKI: This is the reason why we need you and your Digimon’s help. Activate Terminal Defender!NYX: Terminal Defender activated.TAKATO: What’s happening?JURI: Eh? Wha— The sky just suddenly—NYX: Warning. Transfer displacement taking place in West Shinjuku skies above Nyx. Interference with digital world.YAMAKI: Analyze.NYX: I believe it to be a portal. Linkage to digital world confirmed. Materialization of matter detected.TAKATO: W–What’s coming?YAMAKI: I don’t know what form it will take, but we do know its true nature. That thing is a form of pure malice, a stand-alone created from inside the digital world’s deep zone… The Malice BotTAKATO: …!JIANLIANG: Ugh, that was faster than I expected. It’s already made contact with the real world.RUKI: What exactly is the Malice Bot? Is it stronger than the D-Reaper?YAMAKI: The D-Reaper wouldn’t even compare.RUKI: Eh?!YAMAKI: If you described the digital world during the time of the D-Reaper’s attack to be as big as the solar system, then this one is as big as the Milky Way. Soon, singularity… the technological singularity will fall upon us. It won’t be just AI affected. All technological environments created by man will attempt to surpass mankind’s imaginations. However, unlike the D-Reaper, I anticipated that native intelligence from the Deep Mesh would come to invade the real world.TAKATO: Eh… Wai—JIANLIANG: I made the same prediction when I was researching in the NSARUKI: Then we’ll just have to fight it.JIANLIANG: The D-Reaper was big scale, but it was basically a simple program. But the Malice Bot has a mind that differs from a regular human’s.YAMAKI: What’s more, its origin comes from mankind’s malicious intent. Calling it the clichéd “demon” wouldn’t even cover how bad it is.TAKATO: And that’s why we had to come together again.JIANLIANG: Yes. And what we need… are our partners.RUKI: But how will we get Renamon and the others to com— [gasps] This Re-Animator!YAMAKI: Yes. In the past, the Digimon Realized into the real world with the help of the Digi-gnomes, who are fickle and thus unreliable. However, our current technology can make what was impossible in the past into a reality.TAKATO: You can do it?YAMAKI: A nanotechnology called fogletshas advanced to make materialization possible. We’ll load their data into the foglets of that chamber that you came from. That’s how the Re-Animator works.TAKATO: Then, you can bring Guilmon and the others here?JIANLIANG: It brought you here, Takato, so I think it’s possible.YAMAKI: But the data itself isn’t enough. If we want to summon them from the digital world, we need you, their Tamers, to set off the transistor.RUKI: In other words… We need a strong desire to call them here, right?TAKATO: Okay. I’ll do it!NYX: Portal has reached its global maximum. Materialization process has begun.YAMAKI: Put these on your heads.TAKATO: Huh?RUKI: What is this? A VR headset?JIANLIANG: Don’t complain. Yamaki-san, send us the signal.TAKATO: Oh, I’m starting to see something.JIANLIANG: This thing acts as a virtual machine for the D-Ark functions and the Blue card parameters. Search for your Digimon… Think strongly about the Digimon you want to find… Now, here we go!NYX: Re-Animator booting up. Quantum supremacyat maximum.TAKATO: Guilmon.JIANLIANG: Terriermon.RUKI: Renamon… please!GUILMON: Huh? A tunnel suddenly appeared in front of us.TERRIERMON: Ughhh, weird stuff keeps happening!TAKATO: Guilmon!GUILMON: Takatomon!JIANLIANG: Terriermon!TERRIERMON: That’s Jian!RUKI: Renamon! Hurry up and get here!TERRIERMON: Renamon isn’t here…GUILMON: That voice before said that when our name is called, to run towards the one calling us, right?TERRIERMON: It’s coming from the other side of this tunnel.GUILMON: Let’s go!TERRIERMON: Ah, wait! Wait for me!YAMAKI: Release the foglets.NYX: Releasing foglets. Re-Animator power activating.JIANLIANG: Terriermon…TAKATO: So this is how I got here. Guilmon!NYX: Re-Animator Realizing two bodies.RUKI: Two?NYX: Type, Digimon.JIANLIANG: Yes!TAKATO: They look like fog, I can’t see them! [takes off headset]NYX: Gateway is opening.TAKATO: Guilmon!RUKI: Wait! I’m coming too!TAKATO: Guilmon!GUILMON: Takato!TAKATO: Guilmon! Guilmon!TERRIERMON: Jian!JIANLIANG: There’s Terriermon!RUKI: And Renamon?!GUILMON: Yay, it’s Takato!TAKATO: You’re heavy, Guilmon!TERRIERMON: Yay! Jian!JIANLIANG: Terriermon!RUKI: Eh? Renamon? Where’s Renamon?TERRIERMON: Well… Renamon apparently disappeared from the digital world a while back.RUKI: What?JIANLIANG: Then could she be in the real world?TERRIERMON: I don’t know…GUILMON: Huh? Takato isn’t different at all, but Jian and Ruki have gotten bigger!JIANLIANG: Y–Yeah, I’ll explain that later. Yamaki-san.YAMAKI: Yes. Guilmon, Terriermon. I need your help again. The enemy has already appeared above us, in our skies!NYX: Materialization of Malice Bot in progress. Materialization of Malice Bot in progress.JURI: What’s happening? A square hole appeared in the sky…TERRIERMON: Is a bad guy trying to come out from that square zone, Jian?JIANLIANG: Yes. Terriermon, will you face it with me?TERRIERMON: O~kay! It’s been a while since I’ve gone wild!TAKATO: Guilmon, I’m sorry to do this to you right when we’ve met again.GUILMON: We can play lots later!TAKATO: Haha, even you seem to have grown up a little, Guilmon.JIANLIANG: Takato! Ruki! Let’s go!TAKATO: Yeah!RUKI: Renamon, where are you? You’re not here and I can’t stand it!JURI: Ah! The hexagonal buildingis rising up!TAKATO: Wow, this acted as an elevator?JURI: Ah… T–Takato?!TAKATO: K–Katou-san!JURI: Why… How… You’re the same as you were in the past…?TAKATO: U–Uh, sorry! I don’t know much about this either! I’ll explain everything later, so could you wait right now?JURI: Huh?JIANLIANG: Ugh!YAMAKI: The Malice Bot is coming out of the portal!JIANLIANG: I think it’s gonna be gigantic…RUKI: It doesn’t have a clear shape. How do we attack this?[MALICE BOT roars]TAKATO: Its voice is killing my ears!RUKI: Just from its voice…JIANLIANG: The buildings are shaking! It’s ultra low frequency! At this rate, all of Shinjuku will be obliterated!TERRIERMON: Well, taking quick action leads to victory. Petit Twister!GUILMON: Okay… Fireball!TAKATO: You got it, Guilmon!JIANLIANG: Wait, you’re just burning down what’s around you! There’s still more of the Malice Bot!TAKATO: Damn it… Child levels won’t work, huh?GUILMON: That’s not true, Takato!JIANLIANG: But…RUKI: What are you guys doing? Your Tamers, aren’t you?!JIANLIANG: That’s… a Digimon card!TAKATO: But we don’t have the D-Ark.RUKI: Heh, scan it with a smartphone.TAKATO: Smartphone?[RUKI tosses TAKATO her smartphone]RUKI: Use that.TAKATO: Oh, so it’s like a PDA?JIANLIANG: Ruki, the card!JIANLIANG: Scanning! Card Slash! Terriermon! Take it!TERRIERMON: Okay! Blazing Fire!TAKATO: I got this. Ruki, give me the card! Scanning! Card Slash! Guilmon!GUILMON: I got it, Takato! Crimson Circle!TAKATO: You did it!YAMAKI: That attack just now gave it damage! Its power is decreasing![MALICE BOT moans]JIANLIANG: What an incredible voice…RUKI: Is it crying…? [gasps] No way! What is that?!JIANLIANG: It can’t be…TERRIERMON: Renamon? Is that Renamon?TAKATO: The Malice Bot is Renamon?YAMAKI: W–Wait! This could be a trap!GUILMON: What do we do, Takato?TAKATO: What do we do…?RUKI: RENAMON![“Next Episode Preview” music plays]TAKATO: Where is the real Renamon? And where in the world is myself in 2018? It looks like we Tamers, rejoined with Hirokazu and Kenta, will have to go on another journey. Guilmon, the two of us will evolve too! Next episode– I don’t know if we’ll have one or not, but I’m sure there will be one! “Digimon Tamers 2018”! You, too, can be a Tamer!——————————–Node = While the word itself means “intersection,” in network lingo it means the computer pathway or server.World Wide Mesh = The future of the web takes the form of a “mesh.”Cybersecurity Act = This law actually exists in Japan.Nyx = The name of the organization “Hypnos” was the name of “the god of sleep” in Greek mythology. The name of Yamaki’s newly established organization “Nyx” is the name of “the god of night” that Hypnos gave birth to. Nyx is managed by an AI, and responds with a synthesized voice. It’s (probably not) a coincidence that it’s a voice that everyone loves.NSA = The National Security Bureau in America, which Jian is affiliated with. In 2013, Edward Snowden disclosed their mass surveillance of civilians. Of course, their primary objective is to protect its citizens.Foglets = A term coined by J. Storrs Hall, a molecular nanotechnology researcher, to indicate nanobot utility fog. However, currently, it is only at the stage where it is anticipated to contribute to MR (mixed reality), the extension of AR (augmented reality). Its use of Realization and Materialization in this CD Drama is fiction.Singularity = The word indicates technological singularity, but it was first used by a science fiction writer. Ray Kurzweil made the hopeful prediction that when AI surpasses human knowledge, mankind itself and its mode of life would grow rapidly. Naturally, there are scientists who take the opposite view and predict a dystopia.Quantum supremacy = While I was writing the third draft of this scenario (pretty much the final draft), a news report was published that a computer developed by Google gained rapid knowledge with this type of technology.Hexagonal building = One of the icons of Shinjuku Central Park, the Old Yodobashi Water Treatment Plant Rokkakudo. It appeared in Tamers episode 8.Digimon are genderless in the Tamers universe, but for the sake of easy reading, I’ve forced on pronouns.The mysterious voice is spoken through a filter, so it is meant to be unidentifiable. However its speech pattern is distinctly male-inclined.Spoken as “malice bot,” which I take to mean is a form of “malicious bot.”——————————–Huge thanks again to onkei for the translation.Now for my thoughts, I won't be using spoiler tags, but I also don't plan to give spoilers, but the comments section below won't require spoiler tags, so read the story before reading the comments!I don't know. It has the same general feeling tri. has at the beginning, but setting up even more of a mystery. But it also feels like if this was tri., it would have ended at the end of the airport scene, with no promise of more (and the admission from Konaka that new Tamers is somewhat unlikely.)It feels very much like a pilot for new Tamers, but without the characterization that a pilot depends on to really suck you into it. The hook here is the promise of a villain far stronger than the D-Reaper and who/what it might really be.Konaka obviously felt inspired to write this, he's talked about the energy and passion he's gained for new Tamers that perhaps he didn't have in the past. I just can't get honestly over it as a one off story, because it really isn't meant to be.The primary elements given to us seem to be to setup the world of Digimon Tamers 2018, and it's definitely an interesting place. Moreso since we don't know how long some of the 'twists' to the setup might last. Takato's status quo is odd and different, would that last more than a few episodes? To say nothing of Renamon.I think the thing that perhaps make it hardest for me to judge it... if we assume there will be a new Digimon Tamers someday, and Konaka does get to continue this new story, will the first episode (or two expanded a bit?) simply be this audio drama with animation?It's an interesting and curious start to an ongoing story that doesn't currently, and may never, exist.Interestingly, after I wrote this up, onkei translated a bunch of tweets from Konaka which helps explain and clarify some of this, along with giving insight into any potential future Tamers may have. Each quotebox is a different tweet from Konaka.If nothing else fans should appreciate just how much Konaka is on their side.After I'm rested up, I think I'll re-read everything Konaka said, and then go over the audio drama again to see how my feelings change about it.
