Words fail me. The loveliness of Kotori is truly beyond my literary ability to describe. In fact, as I watch the debut for the 5th time, I'm beginning to wonder if her immeasurable charm can be expressed in any language known to mankind. Shirakawa Kotori TOTALLY stole the show. Her presence was so intoxicating that Nemu was not missed in this debut (which is HUGE coming from a big Nemu fan) Looking at how Ep 01 is structured/played out, I believe Nemu would not be take centrestage in D.C.S.S. which would be a shame since Nemu is the only girl in Junichi's life who can rival Kotori (given their hard-fought/tragic love in series 1). Junichi's emotional baggages from "2 years ago" (which ep 1 was really fuzzy on) would also add an interesting dimension to existing complications if Nemu were to return. Of course, if she doesn't (as predicted), there's a whole new cast (special mention to Aishia) who would inject fresh drama and new complexities. I'll like to say that I have already taken a liking to Alice and Tamaki (excellent character designs) and am looking forward to see their characters unraveled.

Truly, this is H-game-turned-anime at its best. Can't wait for more Kotori goodness.
