*waves* Three. I find it genuinely funny, and thought the cast had great chemistry.

A lot of it is stupid (especially the outfits the Nereids wear!) and the animation is awful, but I rewatch it because I quite like how the story about Maya's past came together and tied into the history of the setting. Sadly, I can't recommend the series to people because you have to wade through a lot of crap to get to the good content in the last third of the series.


I really like the show myself as well. I actually thought the animation had some strong moments, a lot of animated backgrounds, which I like.

Since I tend not to like either fanservice or 'dumb' comedy, people might be surprised that I like this show, but somehow it all worked well. I think the driving force of the comedy was Maya, highly talented and educated, and an all around reasonable person, being repeatedly at the mercy of bad situations caused by people stupider than her. I also liked how she came to tolerate, and even like her colleagues who are all completely off their rockers.

I liked the science fiction setting and the serious stuff about Maya quite a bit as well.

It seems to be a widespread problem right now for any browser except IE (also what I'm currently using, though I normally don't use it at all).

I'm getting the problem with the images not showing even using IE, but only when I refresh a forum thread I already have open.

Anyway, here is the next character. I'm guessing this won't be hard.
