The animation while at times is rather still is done that way to maintain the bulk of detail that is still in Urushihara’s style of character design, however when there is motion it’s presented rather well and action occurs it’s viewed very heavily in as much detail as the animators can provide. Although Urushihara was involved in the directing for this it was also co-directed by Kinji Yoshimoto (Queen’s Blade, Another Lady Innocent, Legend of Lemnear) so both these two have a pedigree of working in products heavy in fan service so this is no stranger to that concept.


What I can say about Satoshi Urushihara is that although he is an influential illustrator, one that deserves the praise he gets for his work. He can’t seem to grasp the concept of telling a story, having characters set up and be developed to have them gain an attachment to the audience and unravel a mythology that could be explored and indulged into, the man just isn’t a story teller.
