わいわいわいwwww!
わくわくしますよ!
だって...I saw what I've been looking for fooor soo long! :'D

I almost bled my nose when I saw this picture..lawl xD
I wanted to picture soo bad..so I had to look for it somewhere...maan~ my eyes were soo tired and I'm soo tired too...I have been deprived of sleep for the past days because of Skip Beat. I think about it too much. xD
I was soo happy when I finally found this:



This is the one I found on ANN (that I almost bled my nose on when I saw...)

And it wasn't because of Shou or Ren...it was because I was soo amazed! :'3
The art was very nice...it's not bad and it wasn't VERY awesome but it's still really nice that I'd bang my head on the wall if I wasn't tired right now..xD (I'd prolly even jump and run around my room because of excitement lawl)

Oh yea...I'm sorry I couldn't find Ren's bigger pic. D:
There weren't any...only this small one. D:
I'll be sure to look for it though! :'o You can have my word for it! ^0^

Somehow, I really didn't think he'd be this blond. More like... Dark blond/brownish. I definitely need to get used to this. >_>

Same here. :'o
I guess it's ok though...at least it didn't turn out like VK, right? xD

At least they got the hair colors right. This is awesome compared to the Special A anime designs.

I also agree. :'/
I dun like how Tadashi and Kei turned out. D: Bah.

Yeah Kei looks totally different and Tadashi is no where near being as adorable as he is in the manga.

They DO look good! Nice!

Although I agree--Kyoko's design is a little meh. Boys looks surprisingly good, though--and they didn't have manga designs that lent well to anime. But there they are, and they are lovely!

I still smell the manga in them though. :'3
Except on Kyoko. D:
But it's fine. :'D
At least she doesn't look as awful as Special A's or VK's main heroines. xD
Plus, we'll love her coz of her incurable CRAZINESS. xD Haha

Yup, he does.
I agree, Ren and Kyoko could be better. But at least their designs not as awful as the other shoujo mangas that were adapted to anime. (ie VK and S.A) //well, hopefully they don't make it awful...coz someone will die if that happens. Dx// lawl xD

Thank you very much for sharing the pics.

I have to say that the arts looks pretty, but Shou and Kyouko look a bit weird (I don't totally dislike it, but Kyouko isn't as pretty as she is in the manga, and Shou looks handsome, but I don't know....)
[info]wija_chan wrote:
Aug. 15th, 2008 12:02 am (UTC)
Right? D:
I love LOVE Kyoko in the manga soo much~ @w@
I'm prolly one of her BIGGEST fangirls xD
But I guess she's not that bad here. :'3
If Marina-san does an awesome way of voicing her, I might let my disappointment with Kyoko's design go a little bit.
Lawl xD
Maybe they'll make it up with her demons? xD

The thing with Kyoko is that she doesn't have the usual determined look ^_^;
Ren and Sho look pretty good though

An optimistic way of thinking? xD

XD I do tend to be optimistic before animes come out but usually I can stand whatever horrible art styles as long as they keep the characters' personalities.

Yea, kinda like VK. :'3
I was like that too...but then again..I dun love VK as much as I love SkiBi. SkiBi is on another level...too high for VK to reach. x'3

Just looking at the photo, I feel like they've changed Shou's personality (and, to some extent, Ren). A bit like in Fruits Basket, where they got rid of all the dark parts of Shigure's character, you know?

Somehow, I predict that we're going to be seeing a lot more Shou/Kyoko fanwork... I mean, if I didn't know better, from just looking at the pictures I'd guess that was the main pairing.

If you said it that way...
I might just go to Japan and attack the company who did the animation!
HAL FILM MAKER! 待ちなさい!!
Anyways...-sigh- I hope not. D:
I'm a huge fan of KyokoRen after all. T.T
Not that I have anything against Shou. :'o

It'd be gay if they took away the dark parts too! Dx
It wouldn't be fun anymore! Aacck! Mou!

Well, that's all worst-case scenario. Maybe they'll blow us all away with an amazing anime... *fingers crossed*

"Somehow, I predict that we're going to be seeing a lot more Shou/Kyoko fanwork... I mean, if I didn't know better, from just looking at the pictures I'd guess that was the main pairing."

I agree. From the smaller version of the picture, it appears that Shou's picture is bigger than Ren's...yet, Ren is the male lead, whereas Shou is just a recurring character. I hope they don't wind up slaughtering the anime along with the characters. D:
[info]adaliseranis wrote:

I noticed that too. It made me think of how, in the earlier volumes, Kyoko had pictures of both of them up on her wall, and the size of the photos was proportionate to her hate.

But... I don't suppose you know how long of an anime they're planning? Ouran and Fruits Basket were both 24 episodes, and covered up to volume 7/8. In Skip Beat, that would mean the anime would end right after the thing with Shou's music video... stopping there would make it seem like they'd come full circle, sorta, so Shou would be more important than he is in the manga...

Or maybe I'm just trying to rationalize this in a way that isn't going to destroy a beautiful series.
[info]paralyzant wrote:

Well I've only heard the release date, but my best guess is that they're aiming for 24-26 episodes, like all typical shoujo series. But you have a point...I think, in Skip Beat!'s case, they may have to combine/skip chapters. I would think they'd want to at least cover the Vie Ghoul arc and then make that the ending, because if they did only cover up to volume 7/8, it would seem like the main pairing was ShouxKyoko. (Plus, it'd be like Kyoko's career went nowhere, considering the Dark Moon arc doesn't begin until volume 10) I dunno, I think condensing 17 (well...that's only assuming if they go up to there, and if they're only planning 26 episodes and not 2 seasons) volumes into 26 episodes may make the series appeared rushed. But we'll see.

I really can't imagine them going through one volume per episode. That would be way too rushed, especially for something like Skip Beat, which has fairly action-dense chapters.

The problem I see with them putting Dark Moon into the anime is that Dark Moon leads pretty seamlessly to Kuu, which just makes the whole thing so much longer and more complicated. If they're looking for 24-26 episodes that has a definite conclusion (even if it's understood that Kyoko's career will continue to grow afterwards), that seems both too long, and lacking a strong ending. Plus, I think they'd have to seriously butcher the Dark Moon arc (especially since while, yes, Ren is pretty well established as the male lead there, Shou has a comeback as a nice guy).

Plus, if Shou says "I lose, Kyoko-sama is amazing," and Ren says, "Kyoko-chan, you're amazing (and I love you)" at the end of the PV arc, then the series is nicely tied up. *shrugs* But you're right, we'll have to wait and see.
[info]paralyzant wrote:

Hmm...well, if they do alter the PV arc a bit I guess they could tie things up decently. Though, I really am hoping Skip Beat'll be at least 2 seasons long, since it's very...complicated. Even in earlier volumes there are already hints/mysterious emerging...so, yeah. I'm really excited how they're planning on making this into a decent anime, considering how much effort it's going to take and all.

PS: Imagining Shou groveling and saying those words is a very amusing picture.
[info]adaliseranis wrote:

Yeah... things like 'Corn', and Kyoko's mother... I agree that it would be great if the series was two seasons long (and not just so there was more of it). Any shorter and they'd have to start cutting important things out, and that would just be sad.

Somehow, I feel like Shou would stop and pose in the middle of groveling...

I don't really like it ..
It just like with the Anime of Vampire Knight..
They look just great in the Manga but in the Anime they look weird..

Re: Meehhh
You have to admit though.
Skip Beat's anime designs aren't awful like VK's. D:

VK's animation was BAD. Just awful I dun even wanna talk about it. ~_~

I don't know, I'm pretty disappointed.
Ren doesn't look that good, Kyoko is just all wrong, and the only thing I like about Shou is the fact they got his smirk right. (His hair could just be a little bit darker, too. It's too bright.)

I still plan on watching the anime though, because even if the designs aren't what I'm expecting, it may turn out decent. (Hopefully not another let down like Special A. All the characters turned out wrong for me, especially Yahiro, Kei & Hikari.)

To me, add Tadashi in. o_O
I didn't like how he looked in the anime. (also Jun actually..o_o)

Aah~ it's the matter of opinions. I'm not very disappointed with Ren's...I'm fine. He still looks cool to me. xD
