Thoughts?
Luna: I'm not familiar with the original material but it's clearly bishounen. And they hired some bishounen big guns seiyuus of Saiyuki and Gundam SEED. Plus, Marina Inoue. I'm all for it as long as it's not over saturated in too much drama. I can't say much for the director though. Another J.C Staff title for spring. Let's see how this turns out.
