Wow! After seeing the first 4 episodes in the naime club, all I have to say is that the OP and ED are seriously the most catchy theme songs I ever heard in a long time (which drives me crazy because I'm starting to forget them; how ironic :lol: ).

In addition to them, I found the premise of the "underground" fashion industry to be very fascinating. Not to mention all the main characters that's presented are pretty realistic and likable (yeah, even that cross-dresser :roll: ). I basically fell in love with the way Madhouse animated this series. The ability to go from calm, realistic moments to ridiculously bizzare moments at such subtleness is such a damn good feat (they probably got experience from working on Daichi's Jubei-chan series since it's basically a similar concept).

Good stuff. I'll definetely keep watching this (and probably check out the manga). :D

Haven't seen/read any of it yet, but considering how much I love Nana (same author), I'll definitely check it out.

What I wanna know is HOW the hell did Franz Ferdinanz (sp?) got to do Paradise Kiss' ending? It's a big hit in my state, it's always on the radio... oO; And all of my friend's who are the BIG otaku and thus hate anything American/British/Whatever (*coughmoronscough*) actually enjoy it too. XD

But yes!! Apparently it's only a 12 episode series, so I'm interested to see how it'll wrap up.

After seeing the latest episode, I am starting to wonder where the series is going.

I already read through the manga several years ago, but the anime is a good adaptation so far. The color scheme they use is pretty interesting and the characters are still basically the same. It's definately a good manga adaptation.

Just watched episode 9.

OMG! EPISODE 10!

I am speechless at the ending. Good ol' cross-dressing. You never see it coming in anime.

Finally!

A series where the ideal man is a flamboyant bisexual playboy. The main heroine is pretty enough to be a model and not smart enough to do well in school, who pretty much ignores her strong dependable same aged friend in favor of the playboy who toys with her. The high school drop out that can't get a job because she's a minor, yet strangely you don't find yourself wanting her to finish school.

Actually, this series is a lot of fun, I'm curious to see what wrinkles get thrown into it next.
