Weirdly, I found it a little fast pace… but that is alright. Also, it was such an obvious choice who Tiaga’s voice would be. Why is she always the one for this archtype?

Where have you been living emilio?
Can you not see the arisa resemblence?
Or the tsuntsun and deredereness?

Also i would disagree to this week looking “well made”, if anything i would think that the artwork dropped noticably.

Wishlist: I think they could have force fed us this entire episode in about 14 min, leaving just enough time to do a:
“Yasuko-Mirano-chan Speriaru!”

that would have been great.

There’s a reason they keep coming out with new shows instead of showing the same DBZ or same Gundam series ad-infinitum; the viewers want something new and fresh, or a new twist on an old formula… not the exact same goddamn show over and over again. And as I also noted earlier, the problem here is that they may lose the novel readers… and also lose the anime viewers who go onto the novels and then find out she’s not Louise, and then who go on to abandon the whole thing.

There’s a reason certain anime adaptations succeeded spectacularly, which is why they’ve started mining light novels more and more. Shakugan no Shana at least didn’t completely abandon the characters and character development which made the novels popular; Haruhi screwed around with the timeline and drew elements from more than one novel, but was recognizably an adaptation of the existing work, rather than a complete reinterpretation which abandoned the characterization but retained the names.
