Hmm..must say a bit dissappointing. Helen's humor was definitely not shown half as well in the manga. The other major point they lost out i felt was the Windcutter move of Flora. Simply lacked the impact. The scene could have been better. Two things i was really lookin forward to, and two things that MADHOUSE dissappointed me on.
As for Flora's VA..i think i really like it..but she doesnt look as beautiful as in the manga. She still has the bit of a scary look whereas she looks like a real doll in the manga. The first 7 for this series from me mainly because of the above shortcomings
