Anthylosaur and Miptsurudactyl/Ptsuwabukidactyl are great.

I'm not sure about Wakaba, though. I can't really picture anything that fits her...Maybe a pachycephalosaurus, as their most prominent physical features are their heads?





I'm in agreement about the Saionji/Touga thing...Unless someone can sway me. There are a lot of great ideas posted on other threads about other things, so I guess we'll just see how this one plays out!

Hmmm I was thinking, in that water fountain slapping scene, of Anthy as Chris Pratt and the girl posse as the raptorspleasedontkillme

Nanami, Keiko, Aiko, and Yuuko are all allosauruses with Nanami being the alpha and most powerful. They are predators which occasionally engage in pack hunter behavior, but are just as likely to turn on each other.

Do flying and sea reptiles count?

Keiko is an oviraptor. She's went for Touga like oviraptor stole other dinosaurs' eggs.

Utena is an ornithomimus if we just go by her athletic ability. They could run up to forty miles per hour.

Anthy is an igaunodon. She likes plants even more than most dinosaurs and on the rare occasions she attacks she has huge claws like thumbs for defense.

Wakaba is an archaeopteryx. She has the potential to be flashy but sexual dimorphism means her feathers wouldn't be as brightly variegated. (Yeah, I know nobody knows what color their feathers were but most females of any species aren't as beautiful.)

Miki and Kozue are parasaurolophuses. Parasaurolophus's crest might have held part of a larger and smarter brain or it might have been hollow and used for one of the most distinctive mating calls among dinosaurs. Even after a male fought another male for a mate's attention she might tease him for weeks before mating and this certainly describes Kozue.

Tokiko is maiasaura or the good mother lizard.

Akio is elasmosaurus because he attacks his victims by surprise. He can wait in the murky water or use his long neck to grab an unsuspecting pterodactyl midair. Though in the end he probably falls victim to sharks as human Akio is a victim of his own coffin.

I can see that too.

Mikage could be a Troodon: small, slender, nocturnal, had some of the largest known brains of any dinosaur group, relative to their body mass.

The raptor thing was based more on comedy than an actual scientific parallel.

Do birds count as dinosaurs for the purposes of this exercise?  Because I'm totally seeing Juri as a whippoorwill and Shiori as a mockingbird.

Since modern birds are essentially the remnants of dinosaurs, seems fine by me.

Also, poor T-rex... "I have a big head and little arms! Hrrrrrng!"

GREAT suggestions so far, btw!

It's been a while, Akio! Who knew you were such a dab hand at Photoshop?

Anthy is a Tortoise. Seemingly slow and useless. Retreats into shell when threatened. Wins by outliving everyone.

Akio, I laughed too much at that. It's more difficult than I expected to come up with a dinosaur cast...

Saionji is a utahraptor.  He has a terrible temper and is more likely to attack someone rather than just bluff. T-Rex and Spinosaurus have mean reputations but utahraptor was proven to be the fiercest dinosaur.

Shiori is a dilophosaurus. These dinos were almost nothing like their Jurassic Park version. Dilophosaurus could not spit venom and did not have a frill but it had a small crest on its snout to seduce others. They also preferred bluffing over fighting. Shiori's also kind of a shrinking violet unless she wants something from Ruka/Juri.

Juri is a gigantoraptor.  Although technically not a raptor, it was very graceful and has a couple of secrets just like Juri. She is secretly in love with Shiori and gigantoraptor's diet and appearance is still a complete mystery. We don't if it it was an herbivore or an omnivore or if it had feathers. Both are enigmas.
