This is my first post on Miniku-Utsuku... I love the music! It is incredible! I'm a sucker for forceful OP themes
Everyone's talking about Akari and Hikari's "light separation"... but did anyone pickup the fact that before the two "Lights" parted, for a brief second, they formed a Double-Helix? Ah... these subtle drops of tiny hints it's all going to blow up at the end-- 間違いない . Also, despite the "spellings" (romaji) differences both "Hikari " and "Akari" imply "Light." |

I just watched EP2 last night. I don't think I am too impressed by this episode. EP1 is very good.
I did not watch complete Mahoromatics series, maybe half episodes here and there. It never caught my attension. So, I cannot really compare Konomini with Mahoromatics. However, I think lots of people will compare them because of the similarities in character design and CVs. I don't have a set expectation out of this series but I really hope it has good storyline. The beginning of this series is really good. Seems to me there will be some kind of dramatic events happen soon. If the EP3 is still like the EP2, I am going drop it. |

I'm counting on the potential of this series--Gainax and all. Strangely, I've never watched anything Mahoro~, and don't plan to, at least until after this series finishes.
suires, are you really from Taipei? It's rather amazing to see such proficiency--unless of course, if you are one of the White businessmen crowding the FuShin Nan Lu Starbucks--from you. I was born and raised in GaoShiong(I abhor the official spelling--it's... wrong). Been back there a few times for various reasons, hated the pollution, but the best thing was still the accesiblility to all things anime-manga-games / |

I don't know if this this is common knowledge among the translation community, but extensive research into visual disabilities (more than 10-years old now) at Virginia (UVa), Berkeley and Purdue, all indicate that a plain non-italic, non-serif font is the easiest to read. Kai |

In the meantime the writing is just not there - the show plays like an outline for something that could have been developed if anyone had cared. I was skeptical after the first episode but now I am just through. The scenes just kind of come along one after the other and nothing is set up properly. The scene right near the end of #2 with Hikari didn't pay off because the rest of the show was a lot of half-assed nonsense. |

babbito2k, you completely summed up what I felt. I'm very disappointed and I'm dropping it even just after 2 eps... if I hear that it gets better maybe I'll watch it again, but if it only gets good at like ep 8 or something that's sad.
I don't know why they decided to animate this manga even... I thought Gainax could look out for better stories. (Oversimplifying and generalizing here!)

[QUOTE=LazyBones104]From the preview pictures I thought this was going to be some big post-apocalyptic saga or something. ^^; Kinda disappointed with the first 2 episodes..Way too many other good shows to catch up on during this season.QUOTE]
Err.... what other shows do you consider "good" per se? Aishiteruze Baby is an interesting concept, but a bit slow in plot IMHO. BakuTen is a BGC western(bleh), Tenjo Tenge is pure fanservice(crap). Sensei no Ojikan seems interesting, but doesn't have the strong characters that Azumanga does. Midori no Hibi is just weird... I'll leave it at that ;p Few others are kinda based on personal taste like Hi no Tori and Shura whatever. |
