I don't understand why the character faces (especially in the ED) look so much like K-ON. Different studio, different character designer... I'm baffled. A shared VA but that shouldn't really affect things too much
Is it the new 'in' style?
Cute show otherwise, though. And BTW, I also got a Princess Bride vibe from the constant self-introductions... and the forging scene reminded me of Card Captor Sakura.
