Good adaptation of the manga. FT really does a good job on the anime front, translating off the manga and making it better in the process. FT continues to show that, while it might be shonen, it isn't tied down specifically to that. It isn't afraid to branch out into other areas, which makes it more of an all-inclusive story, rather than one-dimensional. I really appreciate this aspect of it, how it can really tug at your heart strings when it needs to.
The Kinana stuff is new, and I kinda hoped/expected more about her would be revealed. From what I recall, I think part of the filler is going to be about her story, so looking forward to it. I'd also like to see some stories and/or backstory for Maki/Laki.
So, a magical ball next, with dancing as the first filler ep? Could be interesting. Who dances with whom? Will they hint at any shipping angles? Or play it fully for humor? I expect mostly humor, but it will be interesting.
