I'd watch this if it was subbed off course.

Airachnid is portrayed as a giggly, chatterbox stalker?

....god damnit Japan....

I was trying to look at this last night, thanks SydneyY for translating.

Comes on at a very convenient time, doesn't it? Set those DVR's!!

This would be interesting to see, maybe it could be included in a future DVD release???

OK I am confused. Why would they air this special at 2:45am to 4:45am??? Who are they expecting to watch it? Are kids up at that time in Japan? I know I'd never be up watching TV at that time. What time does the actual show air? Sounds more like they made it and the station had no time for it so they used it to fill some time.

^^^ Maybe it's that station's version of Adult Swim?!!

I DVR several series at that hour, sometimes I'm even up.

*Japanese dub logic*

I'm going to be very interested to hear what possessed them to change Airachnid from a lethal psychopath into a babbling, hissing, laughing stock in love with a human teenager.

It's most definitely made to air for this time. 2 hours is too long of a timeslot for this special to have been invisioned for another time. It's likely being aimed at the hardcore collector/otaku market rather than kids, as the look back through the franchise's history shows.

Which they finally talk about Yandere Airachnid to the public. I wonder if 10 year kids watching Prime in Japan understand the pervertedness especially since even some kiddie anime has fanservice.

Everyone in Japan is mandated to own a DVR. Violators are pointed at in public.
