[Impressions]
I just got to watch this anime its a more serious anime couple with light hearted humor. It strikes me that an anime can challenge the rights of censorship. A really intriguing piece to watch I high recommend over the other anime besides Macross F. What I love about this is the line drawing of the characters. I would not recommending watching this RAW unlike less dialogue driven anime such as To Love Ru.
