Well, if you look in the review database, it's sitting happily in the P section. Or, you could just click the words "Princess Nine review" in my previous post. It's actually a hyperlink, but I forgot to underline it. Sorry. :sweat:

Excellent review, but I'd like to address one thing that was left out. One scene in a later episode has Ryo (15 year old girl) in the shower, and it shows her entire backside as she just stands there.

*smacks head* Thank you, I'll fix that right away! I completely forgot about that part. :shake:

Edit: All fixed. Thanks again - I'm glad you caught that. If that had slipped by and someone watched Princess Nine because of my review ... I would not have had much fun answering for that. That part totally slipped my mind. If you see any other errors in my reviews, please, please let me know. Don't even bother with a PM, just tell me on the corresponding thread so everyone can see it.

Thanks again.

You're very welcome! It's good to see another reviewer that understands the weight of their position in the body of Christ!!

Gypsy- I just finished watching the series a few days ago...and I think your review covers pretty much everything that needs to be covered, except you might want to point out that in the last episode God's name is taken in vain twice. I was pretty shocked to hear it since up to that point there's only mild swearing (the a-word, the b-word and the d-word are the ones I remember mentioned a few times).

I really liked the series too, but I was a little disappointed that it was so short. I really enjoyed seeing the different characters develop and learn how to work together as a team, and I was looking forward to seeing them go through the season. But it seemed to me that as the series went on the love triangle became the total focus. I guess I am one of the few who would have liked more baseball and less shojo! ;) But I agree about the art- sometimes the main character's eyes are...well...wack!

Also there were too many loose ends that I really can't go into without giving away spoilers...I sure do hope they make a sequel! Anyway I am going to email ADV in support of this anime and ask them to license more series like this one.
In Christ,

Turbo =^.^=

Thanks, Turbo, I'll add that right in. Oh, and I haven't forgotten about your Jubei-chan review either, I just haven't had the chance to add it to the database yet. Did you know there's a Jubei-chan 2 airing in Japan right now?
