Character Design?, The manga versus the anime Options

[Itena]

At first, I was extremely taken aback at the difference of Hikaru's character design (the hair really hit me. I tend to look at hair first since I live with a hairdresser of 25 years experience, otherwise known as my mother ) when I read the manga for the first time (no I'm still not done the manga, I need to buy the 2nd volume). Personally, I prefer the manga Hikaru, most people would, I think. But you know, buy the time I bought the manga; I had already been attached to the anime Hikaru. The manga's design was beautiful, and it was the original, but it almost seemed foreign to me. Like some kind of fanart. o_O;

What do you guys think?

Utawarerumono, I've heard that name a few times. Even if it does have some flaws in the plot; I think I might just see it anyway.

To be honest, I'm really just gonna go and find it online at some streaming site; oh I am such a naughty girl. ;P

...We're averting from the actual topic here, aren't we? Again. lol
