So, who here's seen the first ep yet? I only just got around to watching it, but it was actually far better than I had expected, given the fact that I really didn't like their redesign of Taiga.

Taiga seems to be just another tsundere clone, acting like a combination of both Shana and Louise, but hopefully they can shake off that image throughout the duration of the show, because when I read the light novel and manga I really didn't see too many similarities between them.

Anyway, solid VAs, nice animation and a overall likeable cast, unless anything shockingly bad happens, I'll probably continue following this show.

Your thoughts?

Since you seem to like it, there's a good chance that I'll probably check it out. You did get me to watch Hidamari Sketch after all. So, what kind of show is this? :O

Ok, scratch my last question, I guess. I just finished the first episode and I have to say I quite enjoyed it and I wish there was more for me to watch right now. :P I have a feeling I'll end up following this one to the end, unless it just takes a sudden turn southward.

The people subbing it really need to work on that grain, though. :?

I enjoyed the first ep, and gg is subbing it. So I'll be following this but I have a feeling that I'll lag behind coz of the other shows.

I watched the first ep without knowing who the producers and voice actors were. So, I was very surprised when i saw characters' design and heard their voices. And since I enjoyed it, I'll probably continue watching the show...

Taiga makes me laugh. She is just like Louise from Zero no Tsukaima. In fact Rie Kugimiya did hers and Louise's voice in the 2nd and 3rd seasons. I knew I heard that voice somewhere before.

I'm liking this anime alot so far. I can tell their relationship is gonna be love/hate. Reminds me alot of the series: Lovely Complex, It's the same in all aspects except for the reason of their demeanor.

Spoiler :
Instead of height this time its the face.
"The people cannot be [...] always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to [...] the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to public liberty. What country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned [...] that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants."-Thomas Jefferson

the girl who plays taiga always seems to be put into the exact same role of the loli tsunadre character. i wonder if she's getting sick of it by now, anyway, i do enjoy this type of series so even if it's not really original i'll still end up watching it.

Hehe, Kugimiya Rie is the queen of tsundere. :D
Although currently she actually has a non-tsundere role in Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka. :o
