People look at me funny when I say I actually *liked* Gluhen, but compared to Kapital, Gluhen rocks. Okay, so the new character designs can be a little off putting (I hated them at first, but now I actually like them a lot. I don't like the design more than the original, but I do like it - and Gluhen style Yohji/Aya? Mmm. They did REALLY screw up Schwarz's design though...)
At least they spent more on the animation. And, as always, if you stick to the sub it takes away a lot of the over-the-top melodramatic quality (I've watched it both ways.)
Plus, overall, the storyline makes more sense, and the ending...so deliciously angsty, and so very easy to read yaoi into.
I hate it when you want to write and it won't come out...
I started reading the translations for the CD dramas for the first time yesterday (well, I'd read the Crashers ones before) and so I thought I'd tell you that they're really entertaining, too. ^^
I'm enjoying Gluhen so far -- the animation is so much better it's like night and day. I'm wondering if the Koua school is where a lot of people got their ideas for Rosenkreuz... Pretty creepy stuff.

Anyway, head to Gluhen (the "second season").
