Why people try so hard not to like a series is far beyond me.......

Episode 1 comes out tomorrow! (sorta, we're almost a day ahead of Japan time, and assuming somebody puts up torrents of the online-released episode that Game8910 put up that link about) Otherwise, just 1/2 days.

Huh?
I have high hopes for it.

[DragoonKain3]

Hmm... so far Kugimiya ain't using her usual tsunderekko voice. She sounds so different with that kind of ojou-sama like voice. Still too early to tell, but I like what I'm hearing so far.

And for some reason, the 'nii-san!' phrase in the beginning reminds me a lot of Horie's Yume. Weird...

Your quote suggested otherwise, lol.

Yeah, in the games (and from the promo this appears to be keeping), she doesn't have the ultra high-pitched voice she uses for Shana and Louise, and even a bit more lower-toned than Nena. Part of the reason why I think her role as Yuuhi is her best tsundere role yet.

I noticed through the RSS feeds today that the first DVD has already been solicited by CDJapan.

[Siegel Clyne]

I seem to recall reading some while ago that the Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka TV anime series will feature versions of the ending theme song sung individually by each of the six (not seven?) major female characters, i.e., their voice actresses (seiyuu).

What? No Mikoto?

CD Japan is now listing four of the Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka ending theme song CDs.

I'm tempted to say that that's because...

Spoiler for PC Game (not really a plot spoiler):

...she's a secret character!

Though that probably isn't why in this case...

I don't know... still waiting to receive the PS2 game (it shipped!), but being her "best tsundere role yet" would put it in competition with her role as Erika in D.C. II P.S., which was also a lower-tone and really attractive, I thought. So I guess we'll see!

[Sterling01]

This fan-op is pretty well made.

[cyth]

Watched half of the crappy Nico raw, then decided to wait for tomorrow's TV broadcast. I'm impressed. Minato is voiced by Hirano Aya; that was a nice surprise. And Kugyuu's voice for Yuuhi is much "softer" than her usual. I almost didn't recognise her at first, but omg, it's so cute!

Anyway, I'll be sticking with this for a little while longer. Let's hope they make at least a decent gensaku rape.

[Game8910]

I watched it fully...im very pleased with Kugimiya's voice here, this is not her usual tsundere voice, but dammit its actually really cute

[Utau]

ep1
- nothing to note about. It was a decent start, imo.
- Yuuhi, tbh i'm not a Rie fan but i swear the way she voiced Yuuhi is cute.
- Minato, another VA i alsmost didn't recognize. Aya Hirano's voice sounds different. Maybe b'coz i haven't seen much of her shows compared to Rie so i less know of her voice. But reall, i like the way she sound this time then when she voice Konata of lucky star. Minato's voice is much sweeter unlike the otaku-ish one
- Karen, didn't really like how her voice sound here but, meh.. oh well. Emiri Katou lacks the 'ojou-sama' atmosphere. Where's my Karen-ojousama?



i stopped after reaching 3/4 of the stream so i didn't see if Nagomi was there..

but Shiina & Tsukasa are definitely there

edit:

dammit! Nagomi was there, even though her face wasn't shown. But no Mikochi ;__;

[JediNight]

Rie Kugimiya voices 2 characters airing against each other? That's kinda funny... (she voices Taiga in ToraDora at the same timeslot lol...)

[Sterling01]

Jun seems "interesting" to say the least.
Yuuhi was great at the end.
Jun's sister looks like Nanoha

[serenade_beta]

......I'd like to say it was a very normal episode, but the developments in the later half were... How do I say it... fast? It just wasn't all that great... And the last thing was incredibly "eehhhhh?! How did we get to this!"

I guess...

Pros:
-Cute/Cool character designs
-Visually good

Cons:
-Story is only average for now, at the most
-Minato's voice... doesn't fit. Yuuhi's was on the edge, but OK.

Random thought:
-The angles...
-Yay~, Kirameki's voice~... Even if the character he plays is... some super handsome guy that seems to have come out of a shojo manga or something.

I'll probably watch this to the end, but I'm not very impressed as of now.

Lol, that's the point.

[Peanutbutter]

I'll be catching this. The seiyuu cast is just too good.

I guess choosing your animes based on the seiyuu cast is a pretty lame reason but whatever.

I don't think so. I've chosen animes to watch passed on character designs alone before, lol.

Good to read the first comments on it, but I'll be waiting for the broadcast encode. Without the OP and (one of the) ED(s), it doesn't feel right.

The nico version is also shit quality

Gotta agree, I was looking around for the OP and ED before I realized that it probably didn't have one since it was a net-release, lol.

There's that too, lol. Can't help it with a 37 MB size movie file though.
