Dear guests, I know you view this topic. Don't be shy and register, so I can discuss XenoMas with you!

That's pretty awesome. If I had access to Twitter, I'd go check that out.
Yeah, guys. It gets boring with just Liza and I. Even if you have terrible things to say, come share your opinions~!
DeviantProtagonist:
Ha. :P If it's to some consolation, I'm reluctant to give this a try due to how deviating it is to the source material. That, and the lack of Asami Imai as Chihaya is straight up heresy.
HERESY~! D:<
Cael K.:
I never understood why people don't like Xenoglossia just because it's a mecha show and not an idol show. By the same logic, all those Sword World replays with Im@s characters in them should be horrible - idols are about performing on stage, not swinging swords and slinging spells, but people still love 'em.
Voice actors I can kinda see, but people got over Yukiho undergoing throat replacement, they can get through this too. Just because the voice actors are different doesn't mean Yukari Tamura is automatically bad at the role. Mucking around with character designs I can see more, as long as it's nothing inane like some girl's age being different. Looking at Iori takes a little getting used to, I'll admit, but it's not a cardinal sin or anything.
On the other hand, if people are dissing it because it's a bad mecha show or because their personalities are totally off, that I can understand.

First of all, that Kermit.
Second of all, yes, I completely agree that it is nothing like the original iM@S. That can definitely turn people away. I myself was reluctant to watch it for a while because it was so different.

I never really thought about that.
But I think that part of it is that, yes--their personalities ARE completely different. For the most part.
Azusa is serious for once, Chihaya is a psycho yandere, Yukiho is a narcoleptic, Makoto is just a B*TCH, Iori is a tomboy, Yayoi is LIKE SEVENTEEN...
Yeah.
That's why I had to watch it like a totally different show.
DeviantProtagonist:
Simply because they can, Cael. Whatever Sword World may be, people having a distaste for Xenoglossia doesn't necessarily guarantee their knowledge of that, much less a fondness. Either way, it goes to each their own.
In regards to voicing, surely you're meant to take that in jest. To that end I've also not condemned whoever came as replacements. In fairness, though, I can't see change in 2nd Vision as well as you could. It's been ingrained that much as I feel the seiyuu's reflect their characters to far more than a voicing degree.
Having said that, would it make you feel better had I also mentioned to despising how the characterizations are handled, in specific regards to deviation? :P
