Haven't seen a decent sci-fi anime in a while.
The protagonist's voice actor since Gundam 00 has officially become one of my favorites. Something about his voice...when I listen to him talk and express all types of emotions, I feel like I'm listening to myself. Hard to put a finger on it. Most of the time, he's calm. But when he wants to mock someone or laugh in a comical fashion, it's almost like how I do it.
Oh, and Mayuri's kawaii. Just listening to her talk would give me the urge to throw my arms around her, put my head over her head and scream "KAWAIII!!!" Small problem though. She looks a bit too "mature" to be a little girl. If I were to meet her in real life, I'd have to stop myself from looking at her in a pedo fashion.
All that aside, I'm immensely excited to follow this one. Enough with the slice of life anime--Hanasaku should be plenty enough to fulfill that fix. Bring on the action/mystery/sci-fi genre!!!
