Well now other than Lucky Star’s expected victory this is a pleasant surprise - Eika won her group! By quite a margin too so it was hardly in question. Ah, Sky Girls’ Eika, but wait, she is supposed to be 17 (and not a loli, just looks like one!). Results are again thanks to Ando. G2-4 Hiiragi [...]

I’m surprised with how much I ended up liking this series. Going into it, it seemed very similar to Sky Girls which I wasn’t a giant fan of mainly because it took them forever to do nothing. Still, I gave this a shot and found it to be much more interesting then I thought. It [...]
