The first episode was just plain and simply boring, and a tragedy, to make it worse. I mean, how can a tragedy be so boring? It mustn't be! It's one of my favourite genres and Shinigami no Balad just screwed it up. I'll watch another episode of this because this could've been much better material, story-wise.
Kobayashi Akiko just steps out too much, even her devilish little neko-san Daniel, as voices from Zettai Shounen. ZS is just too good to be associated with this. Kisa had a huge impact on me and I'm not completely comfortable with Kobayashi-san playing her just yet. Even the spoiled and unloved Uno (and Taruto) as Shimizu Ai is too obtrusive, playing with the cute and happy animal-type voice. In any case, they could've at least considered somebody else to play one of these two. However, Kobayashi-san fits the character well here.
