yamane_ayano here. Ah...I love this series. I love the entire conversation between the thief and Bart, with Bart asking if the thief had turned himself in for stealing Havi's stuff and the thief confessing that he had been caught after having stolen and eaten a cow. And then the entire discussion about how Bart had felt his heart flutter when he had been kissed by his companion, with the thief imagining that Bart was talking about the "rabbit" and telling him he's sick and should see a doctor. *laughs* And then a magic battle and more possessive Havi! This series continues to be wonderfully lighthearted and fun.
And speaking of Yamane Ayano, someone had recc'd the Viewfinder series in a comm, saying it had "more than a hint of non-con in the early chapters"...um..."more than a hint?" What part of it all wasn't totally non-con? And only in the early chapters? So what the heck was Fei Long doing to Takaba? *snorts*
I happened to see a direct download of the first episode of Princess Princess, and was rather disappointed by it. First, the character designs weren't that nice. I really disliked the main characters having colorful hair and everyone else being a sea of brown and black. And Akira's hair kind of grossed me out. The big chunks of light green were just...ugh. The episode also completely dragged for me...the only thing that helped in any way was Fukuyama Jun's great voice. Though I think my biggest problem may be not with the anime itself. My favorite characters in the Princess Princess manga are Mikoto and Akira, mostly because they were in the artist's other manga and are just so adorable. I never did warm to Tooru or Yuujirou, and the anime really highlights them (or that's the impression I get from the first episode). I always found their personalities flat, and while Tooru's is given a boost with great voicing (I don't think even Paku Romi can save Yuujirou for me)...it certainly doesn't give me hope that I'll enjoy the rest of it. Maybe if the pace wasn't so...slow. Well, if I see a direct download of the second episode, I'll give it a try. I know sometimes it's hard to judge something from one episode.
