There really should be a true OP sequence. The song deserves it.

I think I'm finally used to the character designs. And even though diehard fans of the franchise may be disappointed with how much drama this sequel has, I kind of like it. If it were poorly done, I'd complain, but so far, it's been enjoyable.

Sometimes, a little change is good.

Well, it was better animated than episode 2. Which really assulted me with it's lack of animation. And I did enjoy the drama, even if they are putting poor Akari through the ringer....(But hey, Drama makes for good TV. And Anime fans like Drama...)
