Either she's slightly flatter, or I just plain prefer the way this is. And although I'm seeing them looking less moe, I can't see that there's really a grand shortage of it here.

I don't mean the dark skin because she also had dark skin in the LN. I mean her facial appearance.

And I just plain hate their appearances in the poster lol.

Likewise. I don't see TsundeRie doing this role.

I didn't actually mean I thought that was changed, I looked at the art. I was just mentioning that because at that time that was the only thing I could think of to describe her. I am personally on the verge of hating the LN art and think this is much more of an improvement, but that is just my opinion.

IMHO, the manga art is where it's at.

Well my opinion is the opposite of yours lol.

Is it a bad thing that I can't tell much difference between the LN art and manga art but I can tell between the LN art and the art in the poster promoting the upcoming anime adaptation? :X

Gotta have an eye for the details I will for the most part withhold judgment on the anime art style untill I see it in action. Maybe we'll get a PV in the coming months...

[Violet Rabbit]

I just never thought I'd actually catch myself saying this, but I find the LN art to be far too overly moe. There is something about this poster that makes the whole thing just feel a lot less revulting, especially when I see the protagonist. I will admit it looks more like other things I've seen and the LN art does look a little more original, but anyway, it's just something that I never thought I would ever have to say...

Ah, and while I do find the manga art better, I find it is not far off from the LN, dispite some obvious differences. When I actually read it (would be better off waiting so I can buy it), I would probably get more used to it, but there are certain parts that I can't say I'd ever like more than what I'm seeing now. For one thing, the protag.

But you are right I should have really withheld anymore judgement until a PV.

This better not done by J.C. staff.

[Violet Rabbit]

I could see it being done by J.C. Staff and liking it, but from what we've seen thus far, it doesn't really look terribly like them, imo.

[Miraluka]

Looks like Diomedea.

Hoping they won't do too much fan service then again in the light novel the fan service "ecchi" side showed more character development for the protagonist and the heroines relationships.

Oh good.

Any word on who's doing this anime then?

[Marina2]

After seeing how Machine Doll use 3DCG for a dragon........I'm start to worry about the usage of 3DCG in this show.

[Kismet-chan]

If you tossed Dragon Crisis! and Zero no Tsukaima into a blender and sprinkled in just a pinch of Dragon Half... This series comes out?

[Dr. Casey]

Dragon Crisis and Zero no Tsukaima. Good combination.
