Sigh, another series in my "to collect" pile (got way to much to download/left to watch already).
I'm pretty much a sucker when it comes to anime with cute girls, so this wasn't a surprising reaction.
Interestingly, this is the 4th manga from the only Shounen Ace "phonebook" I got (August 2001 issue)
to be animated -- others from the same issue are Angelic Layer, Narue no Sekai and Kerero Gunso.
As for yet again a cute role for Ayako Kawasumi -- I don't mind, as long as she doesn't get
"type-casted" forever. Personally my favorite roles she has played are that of semi-emotionless princesses
with attitude -- mainly Lafiel from Crest/Banner of the Stars, but also Erumina from Puchi Puri Yuushi.
(which is quite the opposite of her "usual" roles).
I also recognized the main male lead as being voiced by the same actress who did Hatsuki in Yami
to Boushi to Hon to Tabibito. Since Hatsuki was a bit of a tomboy (in terms of attitude), this role
isn't to surprising though.
