I really appreciate how much effort the staff did to add those bits of details to the OP sequence. I haven't gotten around to finishing this series yet, so I'd be on the lookout for the stuff you mentioned when I finally find the time to catch up. ^^ @ Juno: Thanks a lot for the bonus info!

I have to say that as an otaku who watches countless series, this one will stay with me forever more. It's short, but sweet, just as some other really good series. It has already inspired art from several top artists in Japan (pop art as well). Even if it has some perverted scenes (more for girls than boys like me), it's all creative and not considered fanservice. I like that. Now, for some bonus stuff, the prose in the opening is from the insert song, of which I can't find the artist. It is played on the radio in episode 1 and played as the background in episode 11. Also, I noticed this myself, but just after 40 seconds into the opening, the selecao logos with the numbers come up. A bunch of lines appear in split-second intervals to connect the logos to each other. Some logos even disappear... and the events of the series so far have been related to these lines/disappearances...! The lines connected the members who got in touch somehow and the disappearances are those who were taken out of the game... I don't know why, but some numbers are also missing... >.>;;; But yes. I recommend anyone who has or hasn't felt the need of a new series to get into this one. It won't take long (save for the two movies not released yet) and it will still capture your heart and attention. ^^ This is after the ending of episode 11, before the release of the movies…

However, for someone from the production staff who can find his or her way through Shakespeare to that quote from Julius Caesar and use it correctly suggests in my mind that this spelling error is no accident.
