I find it interesting that the logo still says "OAD Series 001". I hope this means the later arcs after Hoshi no Umi will continue to be animated. I'd certainly love it if they were, considering who the next arc focuses on . Think it's time to cash in and buy the oads.

The animation for the first episode was pretty damn good, though i just have a thing against those character designs, that's all. I'm been reading the original manga since it started, so i'm just that used to Kazuhito's original designs.

Funny thing is, I've loved Suzuhito Yasuda's character designs for other projects - Kamisama Kazoku, Durarara... Just didn't love them here.

Not until after the anime - and that makes all the difference. I've read a few chapters but I still see the anime in my head when I do. I don't dislike the character designs - I just find them less distinctive than either the OVA's or the ones in KK or Durarara.

The characters designs are awful. Good God. Looks like a retarded Saturday Morning cartoon... Either that or a wannabe K-On! ripoff. Zakuro looks just downright UGLY in some frames (otherwise, she's the only one with a design I actually really like).

Oh my god. If the preorder for this weren't sold out on cdjapan I would have placed my order already *____*. Damn, I hope they get more in stock after the release date cause I think I'll splurge a little more for the OADs.
EDIT: Double oh my godddd. That illustration, that wonderful illustration!! Just checked Suzuhito Yasuda's pixiv; So it's the cover for the regular edition of volume 10 huh? Shit, I'm going crazy. First his artbook announcement, then the OAD PV & now this cover?! Last edited by Kakkou; 2011-04-02 at 09:51. |

I am speechless after watching that teaser. Whoever did the action scene that starts around 1:14 deserves all of my praise. Probably ryochimo, but yeah. And the one with Hime fighting the other chick with her pole is equally as fantastic. So much going on at the same time and in such a large scale. And I think I'm in love with the motion of Hime spinning her pole.
This just can't come out soon enough, eh?

Second OVA animates one of the best action scenes in the manga, so i'm glad it'll do it justice. Still those character designs are so not to my liking. Just doesn't work at all.
This makes up for it <3. Considering the material the next released volume covers, this will be the front volume cover.

The official site updated recently with it's third key visual by Ryo-timo. I have to say this one is really nice. Oh, there is a slight okay, huge spoiler there for those who may not have read this arc. Proceed with caution.
Spoiler for Manga readers eyes only. You have been warned.:
EDIT: Oh right, we're also getting a third OAD but that comes as no surprise anyway. What's really pleasantly surprising is that there'll be some bonus footage. EDIT^2: Having a better look at the official website, it seems the second OAD also comes with a character song CD featuring Hime and Akina. Last edited by Kakkou; 2011-04-08 at 19:47. |
