It was a serious AMV so I was surprised to see this little cute characters that probably belonged to some comedy series. And then I'm immediately presented with some more disturbing images of one of the characters being attacked. I still haven't read the manga or even watched this, but the manga is 3 volumes long and finished. There's also a sequel dating 2003 called "Alien Nine Emulators". As for the combination of cute drawing style with more seinen themes, I think it's natural if know some of the author's previous work, the same artist did the artwork for the Battle Royal sequel.

Still have yet to read them (I don't read much manga!), but I did very muchly enjoy the anime. It reminded me a lot of Narutaru: same sort of juxtaposition of "cute on the surface" and "extremely dark at its core." And same sense of being COMPLETELY UNFINISHED, too.

If i were to mark it 80%, i'd rather give it half the mark, cause this is only hal an anime :S so 40% is what it deserves This anime could have been awesome if it didn’t come to an abrupt end, leaving you with to many unsolved questions.
