Notice how in the very first scenes with Chloe, Serena sounded so different, as if it was a different VA (but yes it was still Mayuki Mikaguchi) but her voice suddenly shifted to her original voice as she was talking to Ash (even Japanese fans noticed the changes on the tone of the voice). It definitely show how excited she was to see Ash again at that time. She's more lady-like now compared to her old self but also couldn't help but feel excited to see Ash again that she kinda dropped the matured tone of voice. She's still seem to be working her way to become the person she wanted to be. By no means this is any indication that her voice will affect her attitude towards Ash a but it was a nice little detail that shows she's still working her way to her own growth.I'm really curious on this comment. Why do you feel that she has to work on her maturity because her voice shifted when she saw Ash? Ash's voice also shifted. Both voices seemed to convey excitement.
Well, I'm not asking for them to be married and have kids as well at the end of JN (but hey, if that happens, I'll praise the writers for doing so lol). I'll be more than satisfied if there's a slight romantic implications that will show that Ash and Serena have clear future together. Heck, just give me a tomato Serena again, and I'm still going to be satisfied.Haha, I may be one of the only ones that doesn't necessarily need to see characters get married with kids. I just like different variations of innocent romantic fluff. I don't see Ash ever aging after all.
This is exactly what got me worried after JN105. Don't get me wrong, I do like and appreciate that the thing that the writers wanted to bring up during Ash and Serena's brief reunion are their current goals, and I understand that they don't feel like touching the kiss yet (or any romantic implications between the two) but at some point in the anime, they will have to address it. Going back to our early discussion, Serena's return definitely raises some concern in terms of what the writers will do with the romantic sub-plot that lead to what Amourshipping is now. How will they address the kiss and how will they work their way out of it. So far, we can only wait and see and if Serena will still reappear for at least one or two more episodes. Honestly, the wait is killing me lmao.If the romantic "baggage" (the mention of the kiss, their childhood encounter, the more charming lady thing , among other things mentioned to Goh/Koharu) was partly the reason they wanted to avoid having them talking to each other for an extended time, it be interesting to see how they try to manuver around it across an entire episode when they aren't seperated. It's probably easier to do than I think.
