It's needless to say, but the text below may spoil.
Hop Step Jump is evaluative:
read moreThe show definitely gets things right in the production department. The animation is extremely detailed, and the character designs are easy on the eyes. On the other hand, the action sequences (which are no small …
A thought occured to me that Hikari's experiments could not possibly be the cause for Rakka's hair problem. The last haibane to be born before Rakka was Kuu. It was no less than one year ago, possibly more (see Kuu's flashbacks). If Hikari used the carrier at the time, the …

read moreApparently, Sola is picked by Bandai Visual, as reported by Beta Waffle. I hated sola's art in the first episode, although Astro wrote: "the animation quality has actually improved with every episode, and there are times where it is absolutely stunning".
