First of all, I figured out why Kuwashima-san's voice works so unexpectedly well as Kagura. It was my misunderstanding. I didn't really understand the character at all before. I guess I was so busy following all the other characters in the manga, I never realized what kind of person Kagura is. Now that I do, I think Kuwashima-san is the perfect choice for the role.

I mentioned before that Tanaka-san didn't seem to feel right as Yomi. I have a theory on that as well. After a while, I realized that she does work very well as Yomi. My early impressions appear to be due to Tanaka-san being upset at something. I maybe digging too deep here, but I believe she wanted a different role. At first, I thought it was Kaorin, but after some more thought, I believe she wanted to do Sakaki-san. Sakaki-san is the ideal person Tanaka-san wants to be in real life! From what Tanaka-san said about herself in Club Rie Rie CDs, I have no doubt about this. Fortunately, she gets into her Yomi character and so everything is good :)

Kaneda-san (Chiyo) still sounds a bit unnatural. The thing is, when she speaks normally, she already sounds insanely cute, so she should actually have spoken almost naturally. Unfortunately, she tries to be even cuter as Chiyo. You know what they say. Too much of anything can be bad.

Image1: There's slight ghosting/reflection. It was easy to see when using a display with true linear gamma curve like LCD, but very hard to see with CRT. The green line at the bottom was in the capture, but I think I just captured at the wrong time. I could not reproduce it.
