We don't ask where the raws came from here. And we don't tell. The raws were placed on computers by all the magical girls, wizards, ESPers, heroes, villains, catgirls and foxgirls who've got nothing better to do since their series ended.
I think people are getting just a little nuts over Aya/Kaoru's voice. And her defenders are starting to put down VAs who're no worse, imho. Kaoru's voice is over-the-top and flamboyant because she's the kind of girl that will crush any human that annoys her and, when offended, angered, saddened, or just plain bored, will ease her frustrations by vaporizing everything more than 100ft above the city. The other girls' are quieter and calmer because they are more calm and collected, or at least not as completely crazy. Also, I can't stand how so many times people pass judgment on an entire series based on a single ep. It may be that this'll turn into a pure comic-relief flick, or a sentai wannabe(please no...) or something else, but it may turn out that they're just adjusting some elements for various reasons and they're going to keep the main story the same. Nine or more volumes of manga can be hard to transport entirely to anime, so if they want to speed things up they have to change some things. And anyway, they've got to set up the background and characters pretty well before they can explain the deeper conflicts and challenges. They made it clear that something is going on a little deeper than random bad guys appearing, so we'll have to wait and see how they handle things from here on out. BTW, I'm with Kenta that, even though I've never watched American PPG, or Japanese past ep3, it is truly a blessing that they'd never thought of giving any of their villains that sort of weapon. Also, having read some of the manga, I sort of wonder whether they'll put certain things in, such as the fact that... Spoiler:

Just watched 2. Pretty good and kind of holds to the general story, though it does compact it. For instance,

BTW, sometimes if you pause at just the right spot you can find some odd little bugs. I paused at about 12:37, and it looked like in one frame the animators didn't finish drawing Kaoru's skirt, so there's a sort of hole on one side. Strange. |

The problem is there is a world out there where words alreaedy have meanings. Where, when you meet an old friend you haven't seen for years and who now has a child, you don't ask "Is it a boy or a loli?" Where, when people hear "lolita" they think "borderline CP" at worst and certainly not "destruction of a city caused by a minor in slapstick comedy".

I'm beginning to realize that Hirano Aya's over the topness could be based on Yumiko Kobayashi's Poemi.
Kaoru's voice may be a mixture of Haruhi and Konata but when you combine this it reminds me of Poemi. Poemi is another destructive Mahou Shoujo. ( The title of Ma Ho Shoujo or demon cannon girl belongs to Nanoha though) Though Yumiko Kobayashi is more casted on tomboy girls, like Sara (Love Hina) and Mamoru (Sister Princess), Ogata (Shakugan no Shana) and Poemi (Puni Puni Poemi). |

if a loli is a teenager (which would be "lolita") , then I wonder why the term lolicon clearly stands for the love for little girls and NOT lolitas! |

Lolita is young girl (usually below the age of consent) who has a developed body. Loli is a girl (of any age) with an undeveloped body. Back on topic: The anime got me searching for the manga. |
