Correction about Leina and Elina. Elina doesn't hate Leina or consider her a rival. She just has orders from their dad to bring Leina home, since the elder sister ran away from home, more or less. And two, Elina loves Leina a lot....probably a little too much...(as in, love her sister so much, she wants the two of them to strip each other and do the dirty in bed.)

Ronin Aquila · 2009-01-02, 23:16

Just checked the website:

Nowa-chan is listed in the "Likes" of Arein....

So tis true, elves are bi...

Anyway, a question for anybody who DID get the Volum 0 Limited DVD at Comiket 75:

What IS on that Disc for those of use who missed out on it? An actual episode?

MeisterBabylon · 2009-01-03, 05:23

I'm with Keroko on this. I do hope it's more than just fanservice...

I see MaMIKO here. <3

I got the book with the accompanying Audio CD in it. The way she performs her character will be in the "Nogizaka Haruka" style of "Sweet Lady Next Door" rather than the "Sly (but still cute) seductress" that Asogi Rin (of Mnemosyne) had.

NotoMami-chan forever!!

With an overly amorous sister like Erina (cute and spunky though she may be), its little wonder Reina ran in the first place, if only to escape from dying of exhaustion.

Wow, the girls are awfully short.

I expected both Listy and Echidna to be taller.
Thanks for the profiles yo.

And from the promo pic, seems like Leina will be the focus of the story, and not her annoying little sister. I'm glad.

kenjiharima · 2009-01-04, 11:20

as of far Listy is the tallest 179cm...

But what I care about is the proportions! lol

But in all fairness, the background stories of each girl is very intriguing and interesting.

So not everyone is a lesbian in this show after all?

Damn!

I think Tomoe will need all the divine help she can muster in order not to get disqualified from the tournament for being way too overdressed.

Though I see they have gotten rid of Nanael's milk bottle in the anime version.

What a relief; that joke REALLY wore thin quick even in the battle-books themselves.

Thank Goodness for display copies in Akihabara!! Made the mistake of not looking at the display copy before buying the ultra-unpleasant Nyx battle-book in Ikebukuro.

Of course, the world is full with all kinds of idiotic fans but I doubt they are so many that to have an impact on Hirano Aya's career by denouncing her for voicing types of characters they dislke. Not to mention that she has already voiced a huge boobed evil character in Dragonaut.

Was Howard into maids though?

Following her roles as ghostly, murderous Fujou Kirie in the Kara no Kyoukai anime movie series, psychopathic, sadistic evil mad scientist Yamanobe Sayara in the Mnemosyne -Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi- anime series, main villain Helga Neumann in the Phantasy Star Portable action RPG for Sony PSP, main antagonist Haibara Sakuya in the Fatal Frame IV horror adventure game for Nintendo Wii and misguided antagonist Claire Nicht aka Elisha Lourie in the Allison to Lillia TV anime series, Tanaka Rie's latest villain in anime is Mars, a commander of Ginga-dan (Team Galactic) in the Pocket Monster DP (Pokemon Diamond and Pearl) TV anime series.

While she may pale in comparison to other Tanaka Rie villains like Yamanobe Sayara and My-Otome's Tomoe Marguerite in pure evilness and just plain craziness - Pokemon after all is a mainstream children's franchise - nevertheless Mars is still a villain.

Tanaka Rie should be performing more evil, villainous characters in the future.

Tanaka Rie rarely voices villian roles, Queen's Blade must be an interesting one.
