joe randel's art dump

Okay, so I’ve finished watching the whole series and I’d have to say that I did enjoy it.  I don’t think it’s the best anime out there (that title belongs to FLCL) but it’s a good watch.

It did take a while for things to build up but after getting to the end I thought it all wrapped up nicely.  I didn’t feel like it was dragging on and I wasn’t praying for the end to come quicker as I watched which is good (unlike Half LIfe 2 where I couldn’t wait for it to end).  The show can be predictable in parts but it never really bothered me, probably because I was busy watching for bum shots ^_^  Maybe I’ll take a bunch of screen caps of the “fan service” for a future post so people can see what I mean (it’ll have to be tomorrow’s post as my lap top is dying).  And please don’t go thinking this is a smutty show (I watched it at work after all) but there are scenes where the girls are talking about things in the bath/shower area or we see them semi getting changed or they animators threw in a sexy body angle for the hell of it.  Meh… it keeps things going and I’m not complaining. ^_^

After the show was done I did go on a hunt for figures just to see what they have.  There are some poseable ones out and I think they come with the Sonic Diver mech suit too.  But I’ll pass as I can see myself dropping money on one, but they’re nice to look at.  I also went on a search for more art from the main designer too, plus some naughty dojin (which I found two of with nice pencil art ^_^).

On a side note, my favorite character in the show is Nanae Fujieda, she collects the Sonic Diver data on the ship.  She’s mousey, shy, cute and has big bewbs ^_^

So yeah, at the end, I guess I could say I liked it. ^_^
