Okay, we have shota shorts now. Just about the only bishounen trope this series was missing. Nice.

I thought it was the Silver clan that Yashiro is the king of?

Hmm. Maybe I outta watch K, now. I have absolutely no idea what this anime is about and know nothing about its characters. Guess I'm in for a real treat, huh?

I might have to rewatch the movie again to reflect some of the events but I hope they can wrap up this season without question marks. The character designs in that visual looks decent.

The term used is "白銀" which is apparently pronounced "hakugin" and AFAICT is used to refer more directly to metallic/elemental silver (vs "銀", pronounced "gin" which also means silver but seems to be used less often to describe the metal and more often used to refer to money). The first character of "hakugin" is "白", which on its own means "white" and is pronounced "shiro". The overlap with the character's name may be influencing ANN's translation...

A news article about Kugimiya Rie joining the cast whilst the site's banner promoting Rakuen Tsuihō (in which she voiced the female lead). Coincidence? Razz

Given that he's meant to balance out the GOLD King and he's always been referred to as the Silver King in the official translations (the Japanese DVDs have English subs already, so they know what word they want), ANN needs to adopt that title.

Shocked Well that just made me happy.

I'm excited to see more members of the Green clan. Since the movie opened up some intriguing possibilities, I'm hoping season 2 can fully develop them and conclude with a satisfying ending, if that is indeed where the creators want to end it. spoiler[I'm not gonna lie... I still want Mikoto back, even as I adore sweet Anna. *sniffle*]
