It seems a lot of people have been talking about Aya’s new haircut. I really have to agree with those (I don’t know who you are) that don’t really like it. Sure, some people may attribute it to me, in general, preferring longer hair to shorter hair, but that’s not the case here. Even I can admit that short hair can be really cute when done well
I really just don’t think it’s well done with her, though. I mean, it’s the kind of haircut I would expect from a male j-rocker (which isn’t so bad, seeing as they look kinda feminine…) I think blondish hair on Asian girls always looks wrong, anyway… You can see a good comparison of her old haircut and new one on Jappy Dolls.

I happen to like it. I think it fits her upbeat personality more, and I like the way she styles her hair.

Looks awesome. Short hair > Long hair pretty much always. I was never a big fan of her, but she’s definitely cuter now.

Blissno: She’s the VA for Haruhi (melancholy), Chiko (phantom thief), Konata, some girl from Zettai Karen Children and some others.
MegaVolt: WRONG, long hair >>> short hair most of the time
Nothing says classic beauty like long hair. Seriously, I think short hair matches Aya, but…
Asuka: I think it matches her personality, too, but it just looks odd. I think short hair fits her, but not this exact style. It looks a little odd…

I don’t like it. Not at all. She looks just like another random conformist buero droid now. Short hair might give her a “fresh” look but it’ll get old pretty soon and there’s only so much you can do with short hair. With long hair you can do anything including cutting it short. I’m surprised that so many people seem to be in favour of it. What happened to all the nay-sayers? Am I a species at the brink of extinction? I believe I myself look better with longer hair too but people disagree on that as well. So sad.
I mean, look at these pictures and tell me that she doesn’t look better with longer hair:

I’m with you Kurisu! Long, slightly dyed hair + glasses = win.
