hontou ni Stripey Insists Sisters Cry Oniichan Now

[Series Aftermath] – Umi Monogatari ~ Anata ga Ite Kureta Koto~

I had picked up the series on the sole basis of ZEXCS helming the production. In those respects, I have not been disappointed. The art and animation remained consistently high throughout the 12 episodes. In fact Marin has to be the MOST beautiful anime bishoujo I've seen in years. Those womanly proportions... now that is 2D perfection. Not to take for granted too are the battle scenes which were fully and fluidly animated. One of key feature that highlighted a healthy budget and its female target audience was how the girls wore different and tasteful outfits EVERY day, lending a quality of realism which most bishoujo series ignored. The cast is classic ZEXCS - solid characterisation with intuitive dialogue, making what would have been a really cliched character endearing in his/her very special way.
