Zalis116, then for those brief moments he's a girl, I'm fine with a female seiyuu and those instances alone. If his female seiyuu ever reads this, I felt that you're voice was horrible and that it should've been a guy to do Rito's boy self.

Mikan is still in elementary school (so at most 12 years old), so the studio probably wanted to avoid running afoul of current laws. |

I just caught up with this and I have to agree that putting Momo and Yami in focus improved things.
As far as Rito is concerned, I had absolutely no expectation that he would grow at all as a character so I wasn't disappointed. There was a tiny glimmer of hope here and there as Momo pressed her case for building a harem and that all the girls would be happy with it but they just couldn't give up the scared-boy-virgin thing. At the end of the prior season (Trouble) it ended with Rito trying (again) to confess to Haruna (as far as those kinds of gags go it wasn't bad) but for some reason that was completely forgotten in this season. It had a mention but Rito makes no attempt to follow up. What is kind of interesting is that here and there some girl indulges in a revealed fantasy where Rito actually acts like a self-actualized character rather than someone being afflicted. But it is only a fantasy within a fantasy that this happens. This reveals that the writers/animators/creative chain are capable of executing this sort of character but choose not to. It must just be out of their comfort zone and that's that.
Nit: I believe KnJ was licensed but the license holder chickened out. |

The KnJ manga was licensed by Seven Seas, but then they went back on it. A quick google image search...and I can see why.

I watched this, despite dropping the original TLR on fansubs back in the day after one episode, for a few reasons (the Darkness simulcast was the first and only time the franchise has been available in the UK, but my cousin wanted to see it and I was morbidly curious as to just how far the fanservice was going to go and just how bad the subs were going to get). Mikan had always been my favourite from images of the first series, but I didn't appreciate how young she actually was until she showed up in Darkness wearing a randoseru. |
