The Wallflower & Excel Saga: Anime

So today Tobi and I started watching The Wallflower anime by Nabeshin. The voice actors all seem unfitting for the characters they play, as either too childish or too adult. The animation itself is fine, and the plot moves at a consistent pace. It gives off a vibe of Excel Saga in that the main character Sunako oddly resembles a bit of Excel in dialogue and maybe even action. At the same time, the animation made some of the actions of the characters a bit awkward and almost too over the top. It feels like it should stay a manga instead of a Kodocha-like anime. Since we're only two or three episodes in, it isn't right for me to judge it fully because it isn't finished but, the first impression is that I might not like the series over all.

Before The Wallflower, we finished watching the last four episodes of Excel Saga. I really wanted to know what happened to Lord Ilpalazzo and Excel after they finished falling down the escape chute/punishment hole. I was really sad to see the series end, but at the same time I am really happy to have finished listening to it. There was a shift in voice actors for Excel between the first thirteen episodes and the last thirteen. The last few episodes of the second season showed a slow and growing obvious shift in the voice actress's abilities to mimic the one from season one. She didn't stay consistent in voice, but still put a lot of emotion and power into the character. It was rather convincing to hear Excel wavering in mindset and character as she not only questioned herself and her existence, while coping with the changes of Lord Ilpalazzo as well. Also, to anyone interested in watching the series please note the 25th episode is the final episode of the storyline. The 26th episode is super special and the animators went all out to make an episode unshowable on television. So if you get the chance to watch the series, please wait until after the 25th episode to watch the final and unrelated episode. It is totally worth it in my opinion.

 I don't want to spoil the plot of any of the episodes, so I'm avoiding talking about specifics. The reason for that is because in Excel Saga, all of the episodes generally change in both plot and substance and parody. To single out any episodes would ruin it for any potential viewers I feel. I'm not sure how I can improve this post, so all and any feedback would be appreciated.
