The art is “teh pretty." Seriously. The animation is an experience in and of itself. Even if you hate the story, which I don’t see why you would, you’ll be in awe of the sheer funky, avant-garde greatness of what Studio Gonzo does in this anime. Please ignore the awkward and embarrassing CGI mecha scene in the middle. We all pretend it just didn’t happen.

This was a very fun amoral little series. It was a bit different than I thought it would be. Actually it was exactly what I expected it to be, only more awesome. I remember getting a flyer for it at Tokyo’s yearly new anime fair. I shrugged and thought it was another “girls running around in skimpy clothes with guns for guys who like that sort of thing” story. A few years later a friend made me watch the first episode because it was “the best thing ever." I don’t know if I would call it the best thing ever (Monster already has that place in my heart) but it was certainly entertaining!
