Special A - Episode 05

[fuyumaiden]

Wow...this episode of Special A has me feeling really...stunned I guess would be the word. I'm not sure if it's good or bad, I'm just...shocked.

SA came out really late again. Well, sort of late. It's about the right time for Zero Raws to release their version (which is the one I end up keeping for some AMV possibilities) but usually something else

I haven't watched the fansubbed version of last week's episode actually. I don't think I will. Actually, I probably won't touch that episode again until SA is licensed and released on DVD in America (assuming it would be). Actually, even then...

But this week was better~! Still not exciting, but better. Kei and Akira made it incredibly entertaining.

Yeah, the legs are actually the only thing that made me feel a little weird. Well, the suddenness of the whole thing left me feeling shocked, but the legs looked way too weird. It's like they went further from the original designs in that case. So weird.

Heh, it's funny because the opening and eyecatches still have the old design. Watching the anime is going to be weird from now on if they keep this up.

No, it does look weird. Not like bad weird, but just not like Hikari. I blame her shocked expression and the new character designs (but even for the new designs it looks weird).

I wonder if they really will do Yahiro right. Oh well, only time will tell. Less than a week to find out. I'm praying they don't mess anything else up, because if they do I might be forced to finally give up...or not. I don't know, even if they screw up, it's still got to be bashed.

xD Just pretend that episode never happened and just settle for the manga chapter. We don't have to relive the experience. *shudder*

Hmm, don't you think that they're trying to imitate Maki Minami's art style? That's what most animators would do if they're adapting the story from a manga, right? Hmm...but it certainly does look too weird. I have to say I like the previous style more. :/

Right? It's like she had a total face change.

They better if they want to keep most of the viewers who have read the manga and is watching the anime for the manga. -.-;

I feel like demanding a DVD extra with the scene where Hikari busts in like I did with the "Alternate Meeting" of Amu and Ikuto for Shugo Chara!. Though, considering I didn't get it for Shugo Char! I won't get it for SA either.

Yeah, that's what I thought. Kei looks more like Kei (except you know, without blonde hair). So I kind of approve of them changing him a little, but it's sort of messing everyone else up because they're getting it wrong.

Well, they seem to be slowly learning their lessons and making changes. People complained about the character designs, so they changed them. Now people are complaining about them changing the aweome parts...so they should hopefully do better now.
