I've looked through the enitre renewed anime sit. Let me say this: the illustrations are much better now than they led on to be earlier. I like Ryu the most...ah, but maybe I like Akira's new illustration even better~! Lastly, I like the screencap that shows Hikari's reaction to Kei calling her "Number 2."

awesome!! can't wait to see it!

oh wow, it's so funny because one night after finishing reading some special A i was like it'd be amazing if they made an anime, and the VERY next day i found out about the anime, is that irony or what, but yes oh my god, they should definetly make a shinshi doumei cross anime next, hopefully they don't suck up her drawings like they did with FMWS and KKJ but i would definetly be excited for that, it's my ALL TIME favourite manga, and special A and vampire knight are tied for #2



haha i know it was so weird to see him without blonde hair and megumi and tadashi too, i always thought of megumi with blonde hair not brown, and tadashi with black hair not brown.. but oh well, i actually kind of like the way they look other than hikari and the hair colours but yeah i don't know the exact date but it's spring 2008 sometime

Another magazine featured the S.A anime in it (forgot the name of the magazine). Someone scanned it for us (I don't know who that was either) Whoever did scan this, I want to thank them!!

Kei's hair is blonde in the manga. I don't understand why they changed it to this ugly brown colour when it's a completely different colour on the manga volume covers. :/ So much for accuracy, huh?

omg... agreed on that... This anime feels like its going to be REALLY crappy...ugh. It's gunna kill the manga - which is awesome. ;___;

i really like the series, but like everyone else, i thnk they look weird
kei isn't blonde...which makes me kinda sad
and i feel like they all have the same hair color...some shade of brown, but either way i'm happy that there's going to be an anime

OMG I CANT WAIT TO WATCH THE ANIME! But I wish Kei had blonde hair... And I have volume 3 of the manga and the twins have a lighter hair color and Ryu's hair is not supposed to be black (refering to the volume 3 cover) Akira looks okay though, I guess.

Volume cover? Wtf?

Don't even get STARTED on that. If they went by volume covers, then Hikari would have grey hair, and Tadashi and Akira would be blond.

Kei is blond though, and you can tell from the way his hair is shaded in the manga. I always did picture Tadashi black haired, but some authors shade dark-brown hair black.

Ryu has reddish hair. Megumi and Jun have -BROWN- NOT blonde hair. Lighy brown btw. They don't have the highlights blonde hair has.

End of story. :3

Because I'm a big fan of S.A anyway, I'll probably watch the anime throughout its run. There is one little think that will catch my attention everytime though: their skinny, long legs^^. They are more built in the manga, so seeing the over-skinny character designs will throw me off a bit.

So, with full of doubt, I watched the first episode of S.A ... and well, I must say, it wasn't too bad. Though Kei's eyes are a bit... wierd? I like the voice casts for the characters, as they didn't differ too much from what I had imagined. Animation wasn't half bad either... I just hope it doesn't get any worse

Im enjoying the series.

As for Kei's hair, its not blonde exactly. Its more of a dirty blonde, so I can see where they may have gotten the color from. As for manga colored images? Mangakas have long been playing around with Hair colors in them,

Anyway, overall I love it. Kei's eyes ARE a bit weird, and Akira is NOTHING like I pictured her to be (I took her obsession with Hikari to be more of a serious thing then the fluff they are drawing, and I imagined her voice to be much lower and more sophisticated.)

But other than that, Jealous Kei is KAWAIIIIIIII!!!!!!

okay, so at 1st I was a little ~~~ from the animation, but now I don't mind it at all...I actually really like the anime, it's so hilarious! I'm really loving this anime so much! Now I really like that I get to see some expressions from Kei, because in the manga his hair covers his eyes. But I like his eyes in the anime
@ Aarana : I also think that Kei looks sooo cute when he's jealous!!

what the hell happened to Hikaru?! her face is.....squarish and her chin is pointy che i was hoping that the art would at least be close O~O if not the color! kei's hair is brown and his eyes are ALL wrong and weird i havent even seen it yet and im alreadly dissapointed ~_~ though i have no complaits about Akira she looks cool ^o^ Gonzo acutslly did something right! ill think ill just stick to the manga when it comes out in america, Dub has always scared me ~_~ (though sub is awesome)Too many anime/manga series have been ruined by gay american voices @_@ when i saw Naruto i was like WTF?! he sounds like a gay little girl on crack with his "Believe it!" (BTW where did they even get that catchphrase?! ) but thats just my opinion some ppl acutally prefer dub O~O

thats one reason why manga is better than anime. %99. anime teams are too arrogant. im sure they are going to change character personalities.
