Hmmm the new designs were easier to swallow than I thought. They are definitely not as cute as the first series, but I got used to it pretty quick. Well, actually my only gripe is Chiaki's design. Those eyes totally made her lose her cuteness. The lazy eyes (AKA, Baka detector) are no longer the same
. That shade of brown at the bottom of her also bothers me. Why the heck did they put that? D:
The opening feels like those bad fanmade openings were they just simply replace the original song with another song that doesn't fit at all. Not saying the opening sucks, but the song just doesn't really fit with the cutesy scenes. As for the ending.......there's really nothing to say, but yea....it's plain boring.
Those are my only problems with the series so far. The first episode is enjoyable(even though it was RAW) and it manages to stay similar to the first series. Therefore, I'm definitely looking forward for the next episode. ( Hey, more Minami-ke won't hurt right?)
