The new OP is all kinds of flavors of awesome. This is just a cool experiment altogether, because now it feels as though the characters we have all known are becoming just a bit more extraordinary.

You start off on the ground, and then you soar for the rooftops. Thumbs up! b((_()b

Vangui: That wouldn’t be surprising. Either that, or they’ll just substitute different characters and scenes. That would also be “Shuffle” style.

kitsune: lol the monkey suit…..poor Haruka. None of the sisters are as smart as they put themselves out to be xD

Akito: I love the OP so much…so stylish with parody type humor.

kenshin514: I have yet to watch True Tears actually. There was way too much crap that came out on Saturday. Honestly, I’m trying to cut down on my blogging just a bit this season because of school, so I might only end up picking up my three guaranteed shows.

hazy: I actually got accustomed to Chiaki’s hair a lot quicker than I thought I would. I’m actually starting to like her a lot more with her new look.

Stevie Wonder: This isn’t KnJ!

Ryan A: School starting soon for a lot of people…me soon too. Haha, Mako-chan is like a super trap now…Impz’s hero.

M: LOL seriously. Chiaki’s ahoge radar is the coolest thing in the world!!

ItAintEazy: Yea….I almost turned it off as soon as I saw that huge disappointment.

Rentington: It comes with practice. When I first started, summaries for shows were really difficult for me to write, and I would watch episodes like 2-3 times…I would even check subs for a few. Now it’s like easy street. I have put a lot of time into this though. Practice makes perfect, etc.

Well, I’ll miss the crazy looking pop-tab opening mouths. I don’t like the art as well, but it sounds like it is not as reserved as the last series was. Kind of a snore fest, but for somebody who knows a lot about REAL Japanese culture, I bet it would be very interesting. I don’t see how you can detect subtle humor by reading subs… but, on the other hand, I’ve come a long way in my own Japanese studies, which makes it easier to laugh at these kind of comedies. The hard part is the lack of diverse sounds the language has. Too many homonyms, really messes me up sometimes.

What? No more teardrops? Sorry, but I can’t possibly watch this series if the mouths don’t look like upside down word balloons (jk)

Chiaki’s hidden power awakens! Communicating with (stuffed) wildlife, robbing the world of color, and having a living chunk of hair are all in a day’s work for this super heroine. But can she see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?

I’m digging the new studio’s work, too. And that’s not just the hot springs talkin’.

Next semester starting here also, but I grabbed the raw anyway; yes spectacular for a few reasons.

1. Flow from one studio to another seems fine
2. Onsen episode
3. Hosaka in the OP, lol
4. Onsen episode, added for reinforcement of #2

The short irony is still there, working, and its funny. Ready for more, and that’s satisfying.

note: did they up Mako’s girlish looks or what?

Cheeyas!

Glad to know that it doesn’t disappoint! There seems to be quite a few more fanservice than the last one. I still need a little bit of getting used to with regard to the more blonde hair of Chiaki and Fujioka, but otherwise it’s all good to me. More silly Minami antics await! ^^

Can’t wait to see their version of Hosaka and Minami brothers! xD

Damn you, Totali! Now you make me want to watch this series even more, but my school is starting tomorrow =(. Oh well, at least, I’m glad that it’s gonna be good since you confirm it. Can’t wait for the sub.

BTW, have you watch True Tear? I just have a hunch that True Tear is gonna be a good series. I just wonder how do you like it?
