MariMite OVA 3: Cool Brisk Breeze

While I'm waiting for the subs, I have relied on Erica's translations of the novel (parts 1, 2, 3). It seems that the anime has to de-emphasized Yumi's role in escaping from her captors while the novel makes it very clear that the captive eventually starts to order her kidnappers around and even causing them to become besotted with her. And a warm welcome back for Tsutako who furnishes photographic evidence of Kanako's stalking though that was reduced from twelve to three - the former would have waaaay scarier; overall, Kanako somehow seems generally less scary in the anime, probably because there weren't any sparkles in the initial scene with Yumi. The impact is also lessened as we're not privy to Yumi's thoughts - which are some of the best parts of the novels - as she is significantly disorientated with the idea that anyone would admire her. Oh, and no pouting from Sachiko - just a closeup of a very very sharp nose.

Quite interestingly, Kanako is voiced by Ami Koshimizu who has played a wide variety of roles including Code GEASS's Kallen Stadtfeld, Mai Otome's Nina Wang and School Rumble's Tenma Tsukamoto. She might have had other yuri-type series voice roles as Natsuko in Futari wa Pretty Cure and Mirano Entolasia in the Murder Princess OVA but I haven't seen those so would appreciate input on that. And Touko just had to be played by Rie Kugimiya, she of snarky character voice roles fame e.g. Shana in Shakugan no Shana, Louise in Zero no Tsukaima, Alisa Bannings in Lyrical Nanoha etc etc. LOL

WE LOVE SEI-SAMA.
That is all.
