The World of Narue
Has anybody ventured into this sci-fi\romance show yet? So far it seems to be a cute series, though it does have it's moments of brief fanservice.

Never saw the manga, but on the anime:
Remove the occasional inappropriate panty shots, and this might have been one of my favorite "magical girl" series. I find these scenes as revolting as I do the "fanservice" moments for Lumiere in Kiddy Grade. Not that such things are ever appropriate, but when the characters are this young, it's just piling wrong on top of wrong.
Fortunately, these moments are only occasional, and if you can leave them aside, the rest of the series is a cute, comfortable, enjoyable, well-turned piece of light romantic puppy-love fluff. A couple interesting ideas are mixed in here and there, but mostly nothing terribly original.

Largo: "Well Ed, good to see ya. Guess I gotta beat the crap out of you now."
Jamie Hyneman: "It's just another lovely day at the bomb range. Birds are singing, rabbits are hopping about, and soon there's going to be a big explosion."

Maokun: Ninjas or Pirates? (Vikings are not a valid answer, sorry)
EricTheFred: Vikings are always a valid answer.

I have not read the manga either. Thankfully, the fanservice isn't the focus of the anime (more like little 'embellishments' thrown in). From what I have seen so far, the second episode only had a brief moment of fanservice in the eye-catcher, but was clean the rest of the way. Though I've tolerated much worse than this.
The characters and how they interact are interesting so far, and I look forward to finishing the set (which, priced at $30, is a great deal). Plus, CPM has got some extras on this release, including the oftentimes off-beat commentary by the Japanese VA's themselves.
