Kashimashi ~ Girl Meets Girl ~
And the story goes: (info from www.animenfo.com)
Hazumu confessed his love to Yasuna, but was turned down. To ease his pain, he went to Mt. Kashimayama where he’d first met her. However, he became lost and night fell. Suddenly, he saw a big shooting star in the sky. As he began to make a wish, he abruptly realised that it wasn’t a shooting star, but a falling space ship! Although he was injured in the crash, he managed to survive through the help of the alien occupant. However, he became a girl due to an accident during the reconstruction of his body. I wanted to know if any group has announced they will be subbing this series? It has a great voice cast (Kana Ueda = Yumi from Maria-sama ga Miteru; Yui Horie = way too many good examples but for quick reference, Naru from love hina; Tamura Yukari = Sugiura Aoi from Mai hime/otome) My first impressions were that it sounded a little 'odd', but I think this could have great potential for a good comedy/romance series, especially with the selected seiyuu. Well, besides if knowing if any group has announced or shows interest in subbing this (this is FUTURE TENSE moderators) any other thoughts on this series? |

Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~ is a seinen(young men's) manga/anime (a yuri manga/anime for guys), and I already started a thread about this.
Edit: thanks for moving the thread ^^ I'm looking forward for this; yuri goodness , I love the manga and I hope they will follow it.

So Doremi-Fansubs is going to sub this? I sure hope so:X I know that the fansubgroup I'm in will have a crack as well (new fansubbing group) but we fail without a decent translator:X
Anyhoe, I really like the manga so far! So I'm hoping for the anime to be cool as well ^_^ |

Okay, so I'm biased. But I loved it. I could quibble about the character design not being quite as good as the manga, but I got used to it. The overall look was very sweet. Suited the piece well. The drama was played quite straight, mostly, so I really felt for Hazumu and Tomari-chan and Yasuna-chan at various times.
That's partly because of the great voice-acting: the three stars all gave their roles a very nice feeling. I was also maybe expecting a deeper voice for Hazumu at first, but the notion of playing it quite effeminate all the way through made sense, too. I thought Asano Masumi as the third girl (voice of wisdom) did a great job. I maybe wasn't quite as convinced by the teacher or the parents (edit: here is where I see the awkward comic timing mentioned in the next post), but the spaceman's voice sounded good, the little we heard it. The climactic coming-back-to-earth scene was new from the manga, and maybe a bit more fanservicey even than there. As I said for the manga, if you hate fanservice, steer clear. Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but hearing the third-rate native English voice-acting made me wonder if Engrish wouldn't have been just as good. Lol.

Ok first episode. I thought it moved a little slow, another thing was the pacing of the comedy it had like no timing. I third the Ueda thing it just didn't work as a male voice. Well it's an interesting concept I haven't read the manga so it's all new to me. I'll follow for 4 more eps who knows this might turn out to be like peto peto-san and wow me.

Heh, having read some of the manga, I must say that I enjoyed the first episode. The character designs were just right, and I had no qualms with the voices except for the aforementioned issues with Hazumu's male voice.
Spoiler:
Thumbs up for Kasimasi so far. |

I liked it. Gives good faith to the manga, and the comedy bits are quite good. The trio of female seiyuus really did a good job.
Note, this is a joint with another group, so this won't get the "3 day after raw" quickie treatment.

Now, having read a couple volumes of the manga, I must say the relationships are very shallow and largely unbeleivable, to me at least. I like interpersonal drama between the characters of a series, but for the most part it just isn't really present here and what there is is just so miserable in its presentation it actually angers me. I mean...
