Anybody has seen that series? is it any good? I was thinking in getting it, and I think this is the best place to ask for more consistent (and different) opinions about it. Thanks.

It's like FLCL but with a lot more fanservice. If you liked that series then you should get this.

Pretty much, a lot of anime puns and fun stuff and some Gainax jokes.

it has that twist that makes you come back for more. what makes me come back is the comedy and the gratitious tits and ass of Mune Mune. Mune Mune is very weird but a very decent supporting character. go find it today and you will be glad that you did.

It's a very good series, some episodes weaker than others, but overall quite interesting, and by the end, something you don't see coming at all : a scenario !

(But then, I didn't like FLCL).

It's really good a few episodes, then sucks for a few episodes, then really rocks for the love sim episode.

A lot of the jokes are hard to get unless you know what they're parodying though.

I'd reccommend the love sim episode. But it'd probably be boring because you won't get what they're trying to do.

I don't agree with the FLCL comparison, but I can agree that a couple of the episodes are forgettable.

And I like the ridiculous seesaw between blatant tomfoolery and the drama.

The Hollywood episode is a keeper, too...

The RPG and dinosaur episodes were the weakest, but the Love Sim one and the Hollywood one were gold... Plus the thing with Abe no Seimei at Heiankyô.

My own favourite was the hard boil episode... Aaah, I have to watch this again, it's really a good series. Plus the drama is really good and surprising.

Yes, it's him.
He is an old tokusatsu hero, but he is far less interesting than its parody by Nagai (one of the rare interesting works he ever did, in my opinion) Kekkô Kamen. (ATTENTION : may not be totally work safe. Depending on where you work. Maybe it might not be a problem if you run a bunny girl business gone hideously wrong).
Just by looking at the pictures, will you be able to tell the difference between the original and the parody ?
Hint : Kekkô Kamen actually fights in this "clothes".
Hint 2 : Shermie's famous throw is a reference to Kekkô Kamen. Except Shermie has a panty.

Uuuugh... No, I don't know much about Gekko Kamen. Too many clothes.

I ask for Abenobashi and I end with Kekko Kamen links? that's why I love this board.

Thanks for the opinions, I'll try to get my hands on it, since seems to be worth it! It's just tht after Re: Cutie Honey I wanted more of the same character designer.
