Series Information
Here's some information about the series production and such. I probably have more lying around somewhere - but since it takes so long to type it all up, I'll add that when I'm a little less busy irl! ^_^;; Hopefully it will be enough for whatever you need it for, though - pretty much everything's covered.Most of this was found via the official DVD release, on the back of the booklets included. Any extra information that wasn't taken from a dvd or booklet was likely to be taken from ANN, Wikipedia or CDJapan.
