I agree, funny thing as I mentioned earlier, I like the second manga better than the first, though I loved the first manga as well, Hokuto and Kiria were great charcters and I loved the story in the first manga, but I am really intriguted in the main story in the second manga and to see what happens with the Fairy Tale storyline, and also the Fong family, they are like the VizarRAB of the story, though not nearly as cool.
I like the second manga better than first, while the I perfer season one of the anime over season two, go figure. Though one obvious reason is Kokoa, the way I feel about her manga and anime counterparts are night and day. Like all of the characters, I love her in the manga, she slowly become one of my favorites, (hopefully she shows up soon when our heros need help the most against those Fairy Tale goons), but in the anime she is such a brat, I can't stand her.
If VIZ ever dubs the anime, you know who should voice Tsukune, Spike Spencer. I could totally picture him providing the voice of that character. The thought of Hanataro being a chick magnet is too funny. I have always Johnny Yong Bosch voicing Saizou. So right than in episode 1, Hanataro standing up and confronting Ichigo.
