First Look: Kaichou wa Maid-sama Anime
[Last update: 01/23/10 – ADDED PV]
[Article: ANN]
The October issue of Hakusensha’s Monthly LaLa magazine will announce on Monday that a television anime adaptation of Hiro Fujiwara’s Kaichou wa Maid-sama! shōjo manga has been green-lit. The romantic comedy centers on the student council head named Misaki Ayuzawa who despises the mostly male, slovenly population at her school, which was once an all-boys school. However, Misaki’s most handsome schoolmate just discovered her secret — that she works afterschool at a maid café. Tokyopop is publishing the second volume of the manga this month under the Maid Sama! title.

.: UPDATES (pre-show impression may change now) :.
Animation Production – J.C. Staff
Unfortunately, it isn’t BONES… but we have JC Staff to animate it. JC Staff is behind some popular anime like Shakugan no Shana, ToraDora!, Hayate no Gotoku (lol @ all the Rie Kugimiya-ness xD) and besides those, they are also under Nodame Cantabile, Honey & Clover, and many more.
Well, JC Staff could be a hit or a miss, but that won’t stop my anticipation for this one ^^. They better rock this one! *happily waits for Spring 2010* 😀

Director: Hiroaki Sakurai
Series Composition: Mamiko Ikeda

First Look on the Chara Design:
The official website revealed how would the anime counterparts of Misaki and Usui on the upcoming Spring 2010 anime adaptation of shoujo manga Kaichou wa Maid-sama! JC Staff is the one that will be behind it and now we’re getting a glimpse. Uhmm… it’s horrible tbh. but it’s pretty much expected since shoujo manga character designs is quite hard to be adapted into anime. Blergh, still looks horrendous. Hope they’ll fix it before the PV comes out.

Official Seiyuu:
Sad news… they are not carrying over the Drama CD seiyuus, instead we have a new bunch (no more Rie Tanaka and TomoSugi T^T) but I think it’s still interesting, because we’ll be having new-er names and it’s fun when both leads already worked together before… OIC THE SEIKEN NO BLACKSMITH-NESS
Ayumi Fujimura (Cecily) – Misaki
Nobuhiko Okamoto (Luke) – Usui
Hiromi Igarashi – Aoi
Aki Toyosaki – Satsuki
Kana Asumi – Honoka
Kana Ueda – Subaru
Mariya Ise – Erika

Lulz. DRAMA CD VOICES DO NOT WANT (sorta).
I didn’t like Misaki’s voice in the drama CD, and while Usui was fine, he was too…Kyon for me. :’D (Dammit, why does Sugita have to have one voice.)
Totally in for Nakamura Yuuichi voicing Ikkun (for the lulz) or Usui though. 😀

Kaichou wa Maid-sama isn’t hard to animate, so I think J.C staff should do fine. If they follow the manga, it should turn out to be one fine shoujo anime. Probally not as good as Ouran, but that’s because BONES actually made some good changes to it and had a nice budget for a shoujo. The director and Series Composition-person looks experienced, nothing should go terribly wrong. The director was part of the 3-directors that did Kodocha, so I’m hoping the comedy would be done well.
The drama CD cast is okay. Although Mamoru makes a better Usui, just because…erm…he’s actually hawt in real life too? xD

JC Staff would be really cool! Now I wonder if they will really carry over the Drama CD cast. LOL if Rie Kugimiya will do Misaki instead and add to the legions of Kugyu JC Staff tsundere roles xDD;. Hope not~ *crosses fingers*
