...I'm... twitching with rage. The original logo at least bothered to have some elegance. THIS... is what they come up with??? IT'S LIKE SOMEONE SNEEZED LETTERS ALL OVER THE PICTURE!!!

...thank God they didn't dub it, as far as I know. They nearly take a whole YEAR to do what fansubbers have already been able to do for quite some time, and THIS is what they do to it???
...Mizuho... deserves better than THIS. Good GOD.

That's pretty bad.  Worse than what they did with ARIA.

Y'THINK?

Y'know what, Media Blasters? You've made me upset.

And when I get upset, Mizuho starts to cry.
And when Mizuho cries, PEOPLE DIE!!!!
(Not really. This is not a legitimate threat towards Media Blasters. Please for the love of God don't sue me.)

eww~

Otaboku isn't dada.
They have poor taste of when to use what style.

That made me crush a soda can.

As if the logo wasn't enough, more nerdRAAAAGE to the subtitles. "Crossplay Capers"? "Drag Dilemma"!?

Yeah, that's pretty bad. It's so sad, the kind of treatment some titles get in the US market.

Coincidentally, this is the original logo:

Not the most elegant thing in the world, but at least it had a nice structure to it.

Damn right I'm angry about this. XP

Dude. I could design a better logo. That's sayin' something.

At least the original feels like someone was trying.

I just noticed the feminine sign (O & T) and the male stickman (O & K) in the english logo. -.-; Fun but still could have been designed better. But it looks more unintended and thrown together.

If they took off the english words, it would look a whole lot better. And the english titles as well. Volume numbers are enough; titles just confuse things. People tend to enter the book as one or the other and it makes something difficult to look up; especially if its entered with the english title.
