Anyone start watching this one? This is a strange anime to say the least, but it has some potential. (No, I'm not only watching it because there's a girl who is supposedly capable of giving a man ultimate pleasure. That might be ONE reason, though.

)

I've watched two episodes, and I'm enjoying the realistic animation, and the characters all seem very real. There's some pretty twisted themes in it, and plenty of adult ones -- definitely not a kid's show. I can't wait to see what they do with the story. Hearing "Girls on Film" by Duran Duran for the opening song was pretty cool too.

Anyone else checking it out?

uh.. those adult themes... are they related to "girls on film" ?

It's not hentai, if that's what you're asking. (Though it comes close sometimes.) But yes, most of the adults films are related to that song.

I resent that remark.

Don't you mean you resemble that remark?

Are you trying to get the resident robot's job ?

If you're wondering if I'm going to start talking about my dress, then you can relax. Heh.

Yes... I've been watching it and it's really fascinating so far

i like the use of old domestic songs in the opening, other than that i just cant see being a photographer being that exciting. the rubber dude scene was pretty cool. i dont know, the japanese always seem to surprise me, but im still watching...

I've just seen the first episode and I have no affection for any of the characters : this feels like a great, disturbing series !
