Approx. 9 min.

Notes: Sometimes the speech back and forth is a bit too close together but by the time I realized, it was too late. -_-; And some levels are off, but again, by the time I noticed, it was too late. But thanks so much to Nikedrummer33 for helping with SFX! Thank you so much to my cast!

Sweet XD.

Yeah, I'm glad the SFX help worked out XD.

I thought it was a good episode, you mentioned the things I noticed, so, there's really no point in mentioning them. It'd be like beating a dead horse, and that's just no fun =P.

I was upset it was only 9 minutes, but what ya gonna do? The ending seemed a little abrupt to me, like after he was like "I know how to keep you quiet" I was waiting for something else to happen, or a scream or something. But the fact that you ended it there only makes me even more curious, DAMN YOU XD.

It was nice to see a flash back and a quick peek into their memory, overall this is a nice addition to this series. And I can not wait for the next one. XD.

Too short! I was enjoying the episode and it ended...

Mippa and Morningstarfairy - Is it good that I'm not surprised at how well you are doing these characters?

Grim - I'm so sorry to see you leave this production. Your calm, confident demeanor reflects Fai's kindness and concern so well.

Mirielle - Consistently evil. Yes! You make a nice counterpoint to Fai.

Sayaka - Rupi may be the on-earth overt evil, but you really drill the torture and scorn home against the girls. I was getting annoyed just listening to the words come out of your mouth. Almost made me want to take their side against you.

Magic Kaito - Your kind, motherly tone is very convincing.

The only thing that bothered me was the lack of differentiation for the flashback. For a moment, I thought that Fai's touch had restored the girls to their old selves and they had forgotten about being in school.

I admit, I struggled with the flashback a little. I wanted to have a reverb effect but just didn't think it sounded very good. I then thought the music would be sufficient, but I was still skeptical. I don't do flashbacks often enough. Oh well, live and learn.

Thanks for the comments, guys! =D

Well, I'll be honest. I had to go and listen to episodes 1 & 2 first, because I'd forgotten to keep my eye out for this. Overall, I loved it.

Kyrin: Mippa - No surprises here. I love the way you made her sound "bad ass"-ish.

Kat: Morningstarfairy - ;.; So freaking adorable. There were times when I felt you slightly exaggerated your lines a bit... But nothing too major that I need to point anything out.

Fai: Grim - Your voice made me think, "Man, if this were an anime, he'd be so smexxy." Right on.

Teacher: Sayaka - Not sure if it was supposed to be that way or not (considering this is an original story), but I think you sounded a little flat, like you were reading a script instead of acting out a character. I did feel the threat coming from her voice, however.

Spirit: Mochan - I didn't even recognize you here. XD;;

Rupi: Mirielle - Oh god. My absolute favorite type of role to hear you acting as. Good job.

Alice: Magic Kaito - Uhm... I don't think I noticed you ;-; If someone can point out to me where you were, I'll come back and critique you for real.

Kei: Russ - I loved this. You sounded very commanding, like you had the most authority there. Good job.

Mixing - Very nicely done. I didn't notice anything out of place, aside from the flashback ordeal that's already been mentioned.

Sorry if I wasn't much help. Reviewing original stories is actually quite hard, since I don't know how you wanted it to be.

Everyone is still in top form as always! Grim--loving the new mic, you sound fantastic!

Thanks to everyone for the generous compliments...it never goes unnoticed or unappreciated!

I am just astounded by your productivity, Mo-chan! It really gives me an ideal to strive to!

I was the one fighting with Russ XD;

And... I actually think most of what I wanted to say has been said. I did notice the level problems, and the flashback might have been hard for me to understand if I hadn't been reading about it.

But yeah, I agree a lot with the critiques so far and I can't think of much else to add other than "Wow, Kaito was BAD". I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes in this project! ^^

[Sayaka]

The cast (aside from me ...Nitique was right. Sayaka sounds like a monotone book reader here >_<) continues to be amazing. Grimmy, I am so going to miss you as Fai. You were spectacular! And Mirielle - God do I love you as Rupi...so sweet and deadly.

Mochan, you already are aware of the leveling issue, so I won't repeat. That was the only thing I could single out. Overall, you did great wih the mixing!

[Mochan]

Thanks so much for your comments everyone! I'll be sure to work harder on the next one, for sure. =D

[mippa]

I thought Grim was staying on as Fai?
