---- I love Yui Horie's voice, but I think that she impersonating as a male's voice is not necessary. This is one anime I think she wasn't fitted to do. IMO. I feel that Maaya Sakamoto as Haruhi Fujioka(Ouran High School Host Club) did a great job as a female voice actoring voicing as male/female.

And I think Horie Yui's voice works perfectly, too. There is a slight, almost symbolic, difference between her voice as a male and as a female in this show. But even her female voice is slightly restrained to make it like either a gentle male or a kind onee-san. I'm not as big a fan of Hocchan's as many people, but I think she's doing a great job here. And I want to say how impressed I am with their singing group, Aice5, which does the OP: it's them plus Kanda Akemi (who plays Kana), Takahashi Chiaki (Takako), and Kimura Madoka (Kimie). Maybe not quite Sakakibara Yui (who does the ED), but better than most of the seiyuu singing units out there, imho. Here's a pic of the group (Masumin, Chiakingu and Hocchan l-r in the back; Akechan and Mame in front -- click to enlarge): As for the gender-reversal trend (Kashimashi, this, Ouran, even Simoun, in a way), I think it must mean something. In any case, I wrote about it a few months ago in my blog: Do boys just want to be girls?

When he was at the toilet, found himself on the same predicament, but thankfully, the runt grandma who trained him to behave as a lady arrived and gave him an item to wear so that the "extra" part won't be showing while wearing the bloomer. |

Ep2: Oh, man, I don't know exactly what they're doing, but they should just keep doing more of it, as far as I'm concerned. This show has a wonderful tone, so far. Matsuki Miyu was very good in a brief but important role as Anguras in Simoun, and I think she's doing a wonderful job as Shion.

It's not that high. Off the top of my head, I remember Kashimashi from winter season, Simoun and Strawberry Panic from spring, and this series from fall. There are yuri elements in other series, but those are the only ones I remember that it takes a central part in. And this might not even count completely since Mizuho is a boy. I call it pseudo-yuri.

And about this season... I think it's also a season for trap-chans. |

Oftentimes the anime that you're talking about places the hero in crude situations that excite the imagination of the male viewer: if I were to dress as a girl (given that I'd be able to pull it off), I wouldn't be hesitant to go to an all-girls school, flirt with the girls there, and have one HECK of a time. Boys don't want to be girls, IMO. Boys are just (anatomically speaking) highly visual creatures who are excited with weird situations involving girls making out. They'd even be more excited when someone of their kind (of our kind) manages to be in a place most of us would deem heaven. I'd very much like to see a girl who's as hot as Haruhi make out or IMAGINE to make out and have something happen between hot guys as well. I don't know, I just don't think it's as seminal and as below the surface as that - men just are carnal creatures, and this (the anime) would satisfy imagined desires. Bleh. I'm sorry for spouting nonsense. I hope you understood part of what I'm talking about.

In the past, i've been known to be called the 'Trap expert' - so we that in mind, i can easily say that Mizuho is the number 01 trap i've seen all year. Probably gonna spend the next few weeks trying to purchase a copy of the original game - but until then, i hope the anime can carry on delivering trap goodness.

I don't think it's Jungian or even Freudian anymore: it's there to simply stimulate the imagination of man, who is a visual creature as compared to the woman who is tactile. That's without reference to the mind.
