 * I realised it's AU, I was just kind of joking around. I guess it didn't sound like that. Sorry about that. [edit: I accidentally ended up with this part bold and I can't seem to get it to just be normal text. sorry]

Yeah, I saw a lot of people complaining about "filler". I think a lot of the edits to make it more family-friendly were probably due to the station it was being aired on more than the company making it.

I agree completely about he season 1 setting up the world and season 2 being a more middle part to the story. I guess any television verion of a book won't be perfect. I like how it added some things but it left out some important points too.

Yeah, Tet being a boy seemed to be a big point. I saw the trans comments. We don't know her mindset at all (not even a small portion of the LN was from her POV) so we can't assume she's trans. Also, a lot of other people insisted she was a trap. Male with a female character isn't a trap...if it was a boy character that gets mistaken for a girl, then that's a trap. They also keep calling her "he" (which annoys me to no end, especially since she refers to herself as a girl). My mind is Tet in real life = he, Tet in that world = she. Anyway, they did totally leave out the part about the Minor Apparance Reset potions in the anime...no clue why. It pretty much leaves out the fact that Tet could choose to be a boy but decided to stick with the body she had (though that doesn't mean she's trans and wanted to be a girl in the other world, it just means she wanted to stay the way she was for whatever reason).

One think I wonder about is if they're changing to match their avatars, what does that mean for them if they get back home? If their personalities are changing... I'm sure Tet is a lot more girly than she was a year before (my guess is that they put in her fixing her nails in episode 22 to show she's being girly...and it's when she's serious and not in 'idol' mode). What would that do to her if she went home and happened to be a boy again if her personality was now more female? What about people playing other races? I have a feeling that Nyanta's 'nya's might be automatic now since that's the way cat people talk... if he went home he might be randomly nya-ing in conversations. Sorry for the tangent, I'm just wondering about the psychological implications. (Also, based on the anime, I think that Tet started out teasing Nao but might actually fall for him since she goes overboard on some of the stuff and keeps doing it even when he doesn't react... I don't know... maybe I'm delusional.)

They do sort of indicate the Lander's world is changing with how Maihama has become a lot more like Akiba but yeah, they really didn't explain Mizufa way of thinking other than that she wanted war and was willing to use people to do it.

I like the twins looking more their age than like little kids. Yeah, it might be more maturity than actually looking older.

Well their was a shipping thing on the link you gave an there were different prices based on the method of shipment. I think there was like a 1-3 day delivery or something that was almost $40. I can't remember exactly but there were a lot of different options and some were expensive. I compared the price of the soundtrack vol. 2 there with shipping with amazon.ca and it ended up to be a couple of dollars less overall but CDs had much lower shipping rates than the book did.

I like the pre-Catastrophe lives post you did on tumblr. I kept seeing that Naotsugu had a dog on the japanese sites but that's the first time I've seen it listed on something in English. I totally forgot reading that he had a dog (I wonder what happened to it when the Catastrope happened)...anyway, I need to go back and add it into my little Naotsugu story. I've also notice in the japanese stuff I've read through google translate (though I can't remember where I read it exactly) it seems to say that Tet reminds Nao of the DTP...not sure if she reminds him of someone who was in it or if it's more that she's just the type of person who would have fit in well with the group. I haven't seen that mentioned on any English sites either.

Sorry it this is a little disjointed I wrote it over the course of an hour since I got interrupted a few times.
