I doubt yet that many people outside Japan have yet seen the 4th series anime
since the LD collection has not yet been released.

I hesitate to ask but could you clarify your comment on it being "porn" in the
novel? Considering the overall highly thoughtful tone of the series I'd be
very surprised if Tanaka took a sudden turn and put in a totally gratuitous
graphic sex scene. Sure, they go to bed together, but I'd expect the
description to be handled tastefully. Your use of the word "porn" suggests
otherwise. Certainly I think Reinhard deserves a bit of crumpet after all his
trials and tribulations, but I'd imagine the details to be left more to the
imagination.
