Perhaps this is what the Japanese think Americans look like lol? Whatever they got wrong in the character desgins, they got right in the setting. I must say they got a lot right about New York City. It feels very much like they are in New York City, the animators did their homework. One complaint tho. Too clearn . Manhattan is a dirty, dirty place.
Also Roosevelt Island has no school on it. It doesnāt look all pretty either . No grass there. I think thereās only like apartment buildings and crap there. But I assume this wasnāt meant to be realistic, itās an anime-only school . Not based on anything in real life.
Iāve watched the āsingingā in both the Japanese and English versions, and they were both quite bad. But that did give a bit of realism to it. How often are a group of 16 year old girls going to randomly break out in song and all be good at singing?
Also, very nice visual. It makes you wonder if thatās what Gonzo really thinks we Americans look likeā¦lol

Anyway I started re-watching this series this mourning. Itās just as good as I remember it. Also Iām picking up on some of the more important things I missed on my first watch. Sadly itās not as thrilling as it was the first time, since I know what happens.
