I watched it to see it through to the end but for the most part was quite bored! It doesn't offer any new plot points either - the voice acting's fantastic and the soundtrack's pretty good but I'd choose the manga over the anime every time. @Sasa: If you didn’t like the visuals of the anime, I can’t really recommend the rest of it.

Lots of still scenes, re-used cels, ugh. Or is there another adaption of this series? I think not. Anyways, I loved the manga, which is Kei Toume's best series so far in my book. Beautifully drawn, thoughtful with strong characters - I wonder if the anime conveys this. So maybe I should pick up the anime again?

Cool! @Hashihime: I agree that the voice acting was superb. It means a lot when someone such as yourself, who actually knows stuff about such things, agrees. :) Sadly I still think the OAV was underwhelming compared with the manga. @Maglor: Thanks! I still love that end theme. The manga ending carried on after the final scene, which probably dispells any 'what happened next?' speculation. It feels more complete that way, at least. @Cititzengeek: the manga's a slow burner. Continue by all means (I still think it's better than the OAV) but it does require quite a bit of patience! @Snog: er, ok. Congrats on discovering the 'strikethough' tag though. @Hige: That pic was chosen for visual prettiness. The series is as different from FLCL as night is to day. Sorry. :( Other people have actually seen/read this? Cool!

I watched it to see it through to the end but for the most part was quite bored! It doesn't offer any new plot points either - the voice acting's fantastic and the soundtrack's pretty good but I'd choose the manga over the anime every time. @Sasa: If you didn’t like the visuals of the anime, I can’t really recommend the rest of it.

Beautifully drawn, thoughtful with strong characters - I wonder if the anime conveys this. So maybe I should pick up the anime again?

Cool! @Hashihime: I agree that the voice acting was superb. It means a lot when someone such as yourself, who actually knows stuff about such things, agrees. :) Sadly I still think the OAV was underwhelming compared with the manga. @Maglor: Thanks! I still love that end theme. The manga ending carried on after the final scene, which probably dispells any 'what happened next?' speculation. It feels more complete that way, at least. @Cititzengeek: the manga's a slow burner. Continue by all means (I still think it's better than the OAV) but it does require quite a bit of patience! @Snog: er, ok. Congrats on discovering the 'strikethough' tag though. @Hige: That pic was chosen for visual prettiness. The series is as different from FLCL as night is to day. Sorry. :( Other people have actually seen/read this? Cool!
