*squeals and bounces around happily* Wai wai! Already something to look forward to for this fall!

...Okay, now that my bouncing is over, I have to say that I'm really hoping they do a good job with the anime to this series because I love it a lot. So many cool characters....

The character sketches look a bit odd to me, but I think that's the style differences you're almost bound to get when transfering between the two mediums. They're close, and I'm sure they'll look better in color and moving, but...it'll take some getting used to. Train's hair seems a lot spikier or something.

I have watched the first episode. It is a little different from the manga it looks like it is. We have seen the three main characters those far but Train is still the Black Cat. I am glad they did it this way though. Who has seen it?

 

And then there is a game.

I must say I still like the show. It is pretty good. Can't wait to check out the game.
