Thirty seconds into the first episode of the Paradise Kiss anime: Did I accidentally lick a hallucinogenic toad or something and not notice?
Seven minutes into the episode: Did Yukari accidentally lick a toad and not notice?
End of episode: Someone has been licking toads, anyway.
The tone of the insanity seems kind of off somehow; it reminds of the weird feel of the Get Backers anime, a bit, and I only made it through a single episode of that. Arashi seems way too muted, and I was disappointed the Arashi/Miwako half-naked mackin' from Yukari's first encounter with them was cut. On the other hand, I like the freaky dancing in the closing credits, and my love for the manga knows NO BOUNDS; maybe I can get used to this. If they cut down a little bit on the use of daisies and strange animals for scene transitions.
