ARIA Drama CD II (Comic Blade)

This is the Comic Blade Drama CD series version with a different set of cast than the TV animation. Here are the differences:

Comic Blade Audio DramaTV Animation
Akari Mizuhashi Kaori Hazuki Erino
Aika Hayashibara Megumi Saitou Chiwa
Alice Saitou Ayaka Hirohashi Ryou
Alicia Inoue Kikuko Oohara Sayaka
Akira Mitsuishi Kotono Minagawa Junko
Atena ? Kawakami Tomoko
AkatsukiKusao Takeshi Nojima Hirofumi

Tracks 1 through 4 correspond to manga chapters 11, 13, 14, and 15, all in volume 3 of the manga. They're basically the same stories (and same titles). Unlike in the first volume where much effort went into character introductions, these stories flow much better and therefore much more enjoyable to listen to. Unfortunately, I've gotten attached to the TV animation casting, so the different voices tend to have a small negative effect on the experience.

I didn't like the first volume of the Comic Blade version of the drama CD all that much, but this one is actually pretty good.
