I think its a good idea and I'm in for the next trade. +81, I gave the album you sent me its first listen so after one more listen I'll have a review up.
I really don't get why Minai was put in the new ending. She hasn't appeared in forever, wasn't even in the show that much. I guess they just love animating her figure

Personally, I don't see why body outlines would be considered a big deal. They're no different than, say, wearing a swimsuit, except for the fact that you can't even SEE skin.
It's not really uncharacteristic of CG to have this kind of plot twist. I mean, jumping the shark is a term used when a show has run itself into the mud and tries to bring in viewers by some means that are uncharacteristic of the show. Like having Fonzy jump a shark as if he was evil knievel.
