To be honest, I didn't like Chihiro. The character designs and all were fine, but the voice didn't seem to match with the character. Specifically, it seemed a bit too low for a character like that, even though the VA was female. In hindsight it was perfect casting. I never thought there was any gender-bending going on, though.

I mean no offense in saying this, but if your rants have been under tags then I have been ignoring them (and I thank you for bothering to put them in tags). I've been keeping away from these forums because I checked on two episode threads when I first picked up the series and it seemed like it was just a bunch of people complaining about how the series was doing a poor job of adapting (or directly ripping) from the game. As an anime-only viewer, it's a real downer.
I don't mean to draw out the focus on anime vs. game with this post or the one made previously, but I wanted to voice some agreement with the person who originally made a comment on it.
