Mitsuki, Haruka, and Takayuki have a cameo in here, although they're not really mentioned by name. Gouta is a rather interesting character with a wild imagination. The story is sweet, although a little cheesy. You also have to know the stories of Muvluv and Kiminozo to fully appreciate the motivation for each character.

The bonus concert DVD is a real treat. It's a compliation of several concerts/events from last year to promote Akane Maniax (held in Tokyo, Sapporo, Nagoya, and Fukuoka from mid-September to mid-October). The footage is mostly from the Tokyo concert though, I believe.

Minami looks like she hasn't slept for days, but her singing voice is as good as ever. I'm really surprised at Kaori's performance. She didn't look too comfortable on stage, but her voice was almost perfect. She also looked a little taller than I expected, but then I realized she's wearing platforms. It's also got a good selection of my favorite Kiminozo songs including the intro to Radio Sky Temple and the old Kiminozo Radio intro song.

The DVD comes with the concert DVD, another Akane mini-figurine, reversible cover, picture label, Rumbling Angel card, and a proof of purchase for the mail-in offer at the end of the third disc.
