I was scanning quickly through Rocket Girls to grab a few screencaps of credits (for some reason I thought it was interframed in Vietnam, like ef, and I hoped to match the names of interframers, but it turned out that I remembered wrong, and Rocket Girls were farmed to China and Korea), and then I suddenly understood my folly.
Forget the heat shield doors, forget the controversy of the LOX-oxydized hybrid. It simply is such a fun show. I missed it so much. Out of the current crop, only Bamboo Blade gives the same vibe, and still cannot match.
I'm not going to call RG "realistic" anymore. From now on, it's officially "fun".
