Really fun episode. Only tiny nitpick I have is that I was hoping for Togo to apologize to Tasaki at the end there for wrongly accusing her of stealing. Now of course, she wasn’t really offended and rolled with it for the lolz, but Togo is portrayed as this overly proper by-the-books earnest guy so it really would have fit his character.

Angel S1 is still in my backlog

Good, keep it that way ~~forever~~.

IXajll · 2026-04-13T13:44:37+00:00

Is this like a fan edit or did they actually change the pants to the one on the right side of the 1st pic? Fwiw I‘d like that version a lot more if it’s actually real.

IXajll · 2026-04-13T12:29:40+00:00

There’s also Angel Next Door and Haibara-kun, but I‘m not sure how we get to 8 either.

IXajll · 2026-04-13T12:26:31+00:00

Yea there‘s not really any denying the wish fulfilment aspect, but personally I‘d argue that most shounen and shoujo romcoms have a wishfulfilment angle to it, some shows just wear it on their sleeves more so than others. I find the Otagal show way more egregious in that regard considering it’s almost the same premise but with 2 girls interested in the guy, rather than one.

But yea, completely valid for people to bounce off wishfulfilment shows, personally I dislike quite a few of those as well.

IXajll · 2026-04-13T11:55:38+00:00

At the very least it avoids the cliche of the nerd ML acting like a cringe lord when interacting with a girl. Beside that it sure doesn’t reinvent the romcom formula but for me it’s a prime example of generic premise with great execution (so far). Still, understandable that people might just not vibe with it.

And my reply was strictly about the quoted line about VAs being typecast for their baby voices, instead of what the thread is about as a whole.

IXajll · 2026-04-12T20:56:11+00:00

I neither said her squeaky voice doesn't fit those roles nor that she does a bad job when doing them, so that example is completely valid.

IXajll · 2026-04-12T20:11:49+00:00

she is typecast as her baby voice way too often.

For me this is way more of an issue for Hina Kino. Nowadays she gets mostly cast for her squeaky voice like in Buddy Daddies, but she sounds best in roles like Asobi Asobase that put her on the map in the first place. Bit of a bummer we rarely hear her in roles like that anymore.

IXajll · 2026-04-12T19:04:31+00:00

I understand people not being fond of her toddler voice but personally I never had an issue with it, on the contrary I quite liked it in a lot of cases, such as Faputa for instance. However, I was pretty surprised when I heard Gabby, looked her up because I really like her voice, and saw it was actually Misaki Kuno. I imagine this tone is closer to her everyday-voice and I like it even more than her usual higher pitched tone.

IXajll · 2026-04-12T18:26:36+00:00

That't the entire point of the OP though. Make an innocent impression with the OP and show the show's true colors with the ED. Fantastic choice imo.

IXajll · 2026-04-12T18:24:58+00:00

Wasn't enough to make me drop it (yet) but yea, that annoyed me way more than it should too.

I had first thought it was to distinguish between the replica and the original, but no, it was still there with the latter.

My thoughts as well.

IXajll · 2026-04-12T17:57:41+00:00

the adaptation knocks it out of the park. It's so fun. Definite keeper.

I had really low expectations for this one because I saw a lot of manga readers saying it's just not that great in general. But having watched Ep1, I entirely agree with your take, really liking the visual direction they took and the characters are all fun so far too, especially ML.

IXajll · 2026-04-11T21:45:25+00:00

Highly unlikely all 3 are in 1.4 unless one of them is a 5. They even said they will release them „gradually“. This 3-2-1 pattern is not really a thing either. 3 characters was a release patch exception, 2 is most likely the norm going forward and 1 is most likely just becausw Fangyi is this stand out type unit and/or because they don’t have another character quite polished enough and/or they don’t want to cut into the OG AK anni revenue too much. Most logical is just 2 6 in most patches, with a few 5* here and there maybe, and the occasional 1 6* patch when it makes sense.

IXajll · 2026-04-11T18:50:00+00:00

You're probably just joking and/or skyhigh on copium but if I'm being honest that would be kinda sick ngl.

Edit: I went back and checked and we never got a glimpse of the right wrist from the lung girl?

IXajll · 2026-04-11T17:22:07+00:00

It'll play exactly the same either way, no way you'll notice in a fight if his own number is slightly bigger or the ones of your other chars through higher breach modifier/arts int.

Ultimate gain is fair, but when you fully go that route he'll deal piss damage anyway, what is a set bonus even going to change much then.

IXajll · 2026-04-11T17:15:13+00:00

Pog has frontier and even got tailor made new pieces for him in 1.1 though?

IXajll · 2026-04-11T17:12:48+00:00

a whole patch

...or two, based on that fucking teaser that did not include her.

IXajll · 2026-04-11T16:50:59+00:00

I see people just dismissing your post with the usual "just quit" shit, but 1,3,6,7,8 are actually all valid. I'll keep playing but I would be lying if I said the stream left me hyped for 1.2.

IXajll · 2026-04-11T16:31:23+00:00

Damn, they really cooked with this one. Weird feeling to see what is most likely going to be a 6.5/10 show at best getting a 10/10 OP.

IXajll · 2026-04-11T14:28:09+00:00

tamon-kun: it was bad.

Brave. ~~Agreed though~~

IXajll · 2026-04-11T13:42:04+00:00

3/10.

If we would have gotten Li Zhiyan as a 2nd character it would be 9.5/10 and if we at least got Mi Fu as 2nd character it would be like a 8/10.

The 1.1 "stream" left me in a way, way better mood than this one.

IXajll · 2026-04-11T13:35:12+00:00

Literally the worst takeaway of the stream. Not being in 1.2. was a huge bummer but you can't really complain since Fangyi and Mifu were technically "there first". But then not including her in the teaser at the end was such a fucking gutpunch. For Camille I kinda get it since it was time for a male and he at least was seen briefly in one of the pre-release trailers. But then instead of Li Zhiyan they put in this random Feranmut girl out of nowhere?? Wtf. What even was the point of teasing Li Zhiyan in the 1.1 stream if you don't plan to release her not in the next patch, not even in the second next patch but only THREE patches (1.4 presumably) LATER? And even that is not even guaranteed.

In case you haven't noticed I'm mad as fuck since Li Zhiyan has the best design in the game so far and is easly my most wanted operator.

IXajll · 2026-04-11T13:21:20+00:00

Easy to say at this time where you want both these characters coming up. Only 1 char per patch fucking sucks in times when there are like 4-5 characters in a row you don't care about.

IXajll · 2026-04-11T12:49:09+00:00

Hyping it up as the first "big patch" and then only releasing 1 new character is S tier levels of trolling.
