First off, thank you so much for your work on the manga! What an unbelieveable job you folks have done.
In regards to the transition from manga to anime, the animated medium definitely requires some trade-offs. The most obvious is that the character designs are vastly simplified. However, that is (to some degree) made up for with the addition of color. On the other hand, manga is limited by not having music or voice actors. I'm very pleased with the voice actor for Midori, she seems to fit the voice I heard in my head while reading the manga. I look forward to hearing the other characters as well.
I have high hopes for this show. The concept is pretty cute and there are a lot of possibilities for the anime. I won't mind too much if the anime strays from the manga--in my mind, they are supposed to be seperate stories. However, I *will* mind if they change the motivations and personalities.
