| I have been reading this manga since last month while waiting for the revelation of the full main cast and what appropriate timing that the cast has been revealed now that I've just recently finished reading the manga! It's now one of my favorites! <3 I've got no complaints with the seiyuu choices. While I was reading this manga, I have been imagining Zack would have the same voice as Naofumi (Kaito Ishikawa -> Shield Hero lol) while I imagined Charce would be voiced by Takahiro Sakurai. Nope, lol. As for the rest of the girls, I couldn't think of the most suitable voices for them, but never expected Saori Hayami would be voicing Yun-Hua. That's great! I'm really excited to see Aries Rem <3 and Quitterie animated! I'm not really familiar with any of the people from the production staff. ^^' This is Studio Lerche and I liked some of their previous works such as Gakkougurashi!, Asobi Asobase, and Assassination Classroom. Hopefully they would bring justice to the anime adaptation of this manga most importantly because the story has concluded. Tbh, me too! I'm excited for this show the most. If you're looking forward to see some romance sub-plots in this series... |
| OMG! TOMOYO! AND AS THE BEST GIRL QUITTERIE, TOO! NOW I JUST HAVE TO SEE IT! Only found it through her tweet just now! <3 |

deg said: this is tagged as action, sci-fi and space my kind of show and the manga is finished so this is gonna be a complete adaptation too no doubt I think many fans will think "Seriously, what's so good about it?", "Was it really worth all the accolades/ praises?", "It's so bo~ring." etc. etc. watching the first half of the adpatation. ;) |

I was referring to the general sentiment of the MALers nowadays. And I am positive that is how a good number of them will response in the forums or through those preliminary reviews. You know, we cannot have world building/character introduction/setting up chemistries in today's world. There is no patience in viewers these days whatsoever. That being said, ofc there are those who will enjoy it from the get go but the number will be few. Personally, I found the earlier chapters quite enjoyable. |
