So since it's been moved does that mean subs are out?

The books take a turn for the more serious romance stuff after book 3 (which is certainly the weakest in the series). Book 4 was my favourite, with a nice mix, and books 6-7 have dropped most of the comedy.

Thanks for GG for subbing this, since their quality is good and are fast ^_^ I was hoping that GG would sub a certain anime that they did one episode because another certain anime was cancelled for a week...but if it's ToraDora I'm happy. I shouldn't complain about fansubs x]

I can't even get myself to read more then 1 volume of novel. It was a miracle that I manage to read Disapearence...I never read a single book since 6 years ago...except disapearence ^_^''

Hey, I enjoyed that. As well as to the novelist, I'm going to give some credit to Okada Mari, the lead writer, who also wrote true tears. Director Nagai Tatsuyuki did Honey & Clover 2 and Idolmaster Xenoglossia.

I liked the Nagi-like combination of vulnerability and tsuntsun from Kugimiya-san. Not the same voice as Nagi, but a similar feeling in that respect.

I thought the character design and animation worked well.

I feel your avatar is bit too dark so I light it up a bit. You may use it if you like.

I was more tired of its writting than its plots. I may pick it up again if anime goes well and restore my enthusiasm.

Reading is one of my hobbies other than anime+manga.

If I got some free time I might read books, fantasy fiction mostly. Enjoy Charles de Lint's books a lot despite usual crappy endings (Blue Girl is the only exception to date). Recently finished The Court of Air by Stephen Hunt, it's a nice book but disappointing with its unfair ending for Molly.

Thanks a lot!

As I rewatched the episode, I noticed they skipped a capital scene for the character building of one of the supporting characters...

Spoiler for spoiler?:

They messed with Yusaku's character design, it just looks so wrong, I can't forgive them for this, but will continue watching.

Yeah, but it will leave a "cute" corpse!

For sure, but Taiga's way cuter than Louise!

(And a lot less annoying too!

)

I don't think so, he looks more like a villain in the anime, in the manga he looks pretty normal.

Luminisk · 2008-10-02, 17:19

I like Taiga much more than Louise, but then again it is probably just my view of Louise according to the anime.
The novel is much more serious.

stormy001_M1A2 · 2008-10-02, 17:21

That will depend on how many eps too. Shorter series means a lot of scenes and characters will be cut off; it might impede the impression most of people getting from reading the novel. Personally I think the manga rendition of the characters is the best.

But this is interesting to watch a female novelist ideal of good man in anime setting.

Yeah, in the manga he was a little too much of a bishounen. The anime version is much more faithfull to the spirit of the novel than the manga concerning our Dragon

I am totally fond of the way they are playing with the viewing angles to make him like he's meneacing people (the wallets...the girls in school...pure laugh

).

Is it a Zero no Tsukaima deja-vu?

Yeah that scene with the wallets was funny

and he finds a lot of them

He could be an underworld boss if he wanted to be one

... but he seems only to be a house cleaner

...? Yusaku looks like a villain in the manga?

Are you thinking about Ryuji the main character or the his friend Yusaku?

Ups my fault, I am bad with names

Ryuji was the one that look like a villain when

Spoiler for :

But my impression, They did a awesome job on this. I hope that this can contiune this pattern except Ryuji getting hit on the head by Taiga all the time.

10 out of 10.
