Well, the first thing I should say is that that ‘virtual’ sex scene was quite unexpected. Perhaps it was used to emphasise a point, but I really see no point of it being in there anyway. This entire episode bored me severely somehow. I’m glad this will only be 4 episodes long, as it should be pretyt straight to the point. As of now, it still doesn’t seem like much has happened. I guess the show should end when vengeance is exacted. The little girl will probably get involved as well, with a whole bunch of other stuff yadda yadda yaddah~ Oh and another thing, for an OAV, the quality is pretty crap, especialy the CG, which is absolute shit! (I think I may have said otherwise in my first post, but oh well!)

Impressions:

Now this is the type of mecha series I like, and this time, mecha makes up a large part of the show. Unlike Code Geass or Innocent Venus, this show gives me the familiar ‘real’ mecha feeling, like Gundam Seed and RahXephon etc. I actually got this feeling from Voices of a Different Star as well, but let’s not get into that. if you haven’t seen this yet, and you like mecha or science fiction, then I highly recommend you do. Right now. This is an OAV series, as you should already know, with 4 episodes in total. The second episode will be released on the 8th of December, which is just next week. The third episode will be released some time in February, and the last episode will be some time away. Each episode is slightly longer than your average anime episode, but only by about 4 minutes. The CG isn’t that good, though I adore the music, especially the OP by KOTOKO. The ED is sung by Mami Kawada, and those two artists both did the Ops for Shakugan Shana! Why does that matter? Well, it doesn’t. Anyway, being an OAV, the quality should be higher than an average anime show, and indeed it is, but once again, not by much. Character design – average (and there’s this one woman who is exceptionally ugly >.>).
