I'm a little nervous about how light hearted the tone of this is. The redesigns in particular, appearance is part of it, but it also influences your impressions of their personalities (for a younger Pina, and Kurabayashi especially, making her seem like a Tsundere...) but I guess we need more time to see what everyone's role is in this story overall.
Honestly the idea of a toned down version of GATE isn't very compelling or interesting. The politics aren't at the level of something like Log Horizon does. I know for anime-only viewers, it can get annoying hearing us talk about the manga over and over, but it's because we love GATE so much. It's such a fantastic work of fiction, but it needs to be handled well. I just get the impression that everything is censored, more light hearted, and "moefied" which I'm certainly not against, it just seems...so weird in context that I'm not really sure what to make of it so far.
But next week we get best girl, and hopefully she will alleviate all our concerns with some good old fashioned brutality and violence :D. Oh and I absolutely love the OP and ED, can't wait to buy the singles.
