Well, I was hoping that Akari would not be regaining her baby fat post-Arietta. Alas the screencap above suggests that HAL Film Maker has reverted more towards to the character designs used in The Animation and The Natural TV series.
Nonetheless I am very much looking forward to this series. Scenery porn (TM - Sean Gaffney) and yuri innuendo FTW.
I like how this post is yuri-tagged XD I prefer Akari with baby fat since she (and don’t take this the wrong way) looks younger. :)
Resisting…the…urge…to make…snarky comments in Stripey’s direction…
Actually, while I liked the character designs from the Aria OVA, I think the regular ones from the first two seasons are fine too. :)
Hooray for more ARIA. While I loved the OAV, having gotten used to the style used during the previous two seasons, I have no problem to it reverting.
But, for Haruhi’s sake, they better fix the strange way they drew the back of Akari’s hair during the second season; it looked unnatural.
We’ll see how this goes. Stripey, present for you in the other thread.
Yuri? You’ve got it all wrong! Aika is straight for Al-kun and Akari is into cat beastiality!
