HYAKKOOOOO

So finally, the animu is out~! 8D It was a rather amusing episode. They added in a couple of scenes but those worked out pretty well because I was still loling. I was a bit surprised that they actually went and have them get lost for the whole episode. The first chapter of the manga was the same thing but it was only like 28 pages D': But whatever, I'm not complaining lol It's not a split your gut laughing first episode, but it was still amusing p:

Hyakko - OP @ Yahoo! Video

I liked the OP over the ED, which was sung by Hirano Aya. I dunno, maybe it's the overall mood of the OP? I don't really think the ED sequence matches with the song either, so maybe that's why I don't like the ED as much. I also noticed that they pretty much used clips from the whole episode for the OP. I guess they're taking the same approach as some other anime because they're too lazy to make an actual OP sequence? Or maybe they'll have an actual OP sequence some time soon? I dunno lol But I'd love to see some fresh animation sequences for both OP and ED :'D



As far as the cast goes, I'm really happy with it. Each seiyuu did an awesome job capturing their characters. I was surprised with how well Hirano Aya performed Ayumi. I don't recall her doing a quiet and timid role like Ayu before. But to say the least, I was impressed. I was also surprised with Suzumu who is played by Ochiai Yurika. To be honest, I never found Suzumu an interesting character. I mean, she's got her points and she's rather cute, but she never really stood out for me lol However, tossing in Ochiai's voice in made me go, "Oh, holy shit *____* moe~" lol Orisaka Fumiko, casted as Torako, and Neya Machiko, casted as Tatsuki, did a wonderful job with their characters too. Torako and Tatsuki are my two favorite characters out of the main cast so no complaints there lol





They also managed to give the secondary cast some screen time. I totally can't wait until their actual appearance :DDD Can't wait for the homo parts LOLOL

On a side note, I could totally use Ayu-chan's huge monologue as some practice for AX Idol next year. I dunno if I'll actually audition though *nervous* I'm no good in front of large crowds >_<;;; I'd probably die of a heart attack ROFL Like even when I was recording lines with a few friends, I was still embarassed Dx Yeee, my art teacher says I should try out for the next play, since he's the drama teacher too. Says that after acting in a play, I'd stop being so nervous acting in front of crowds :'D;;
