I still want to use the word "zeitgeist" one of these days. Hmm, maybe I'll write an end-of-year wrap up post, that'd be a good time to use it. Yeah, I got the sense that Ga-rei Zero wasn't the most popular show around. I thought it was great though XD Although it's not going to be as great as Seikon no Qwaser is; Seikon no Qwaser is absolutely, undoubtedly the Greatest Anime of All Time.

Yeah, she's not a fancy figure, but she looks pretty nice. I saw that Yamato is putting out a figure of Kagura in an action pose; it's looking good, too. Thanks!

I thought a white background and lots of light was more appropriate for her cheerfulness, too XD >> Ashlotte I loved the beginning, I got really hyped up for the show after watching the first couple of episodes. It surely did take an unconventional (and uncompromising) approach to introducing the central characters, though. >> gundamjehutykai I should read the manga sometime; I think I read that it got picked up for localization in the States, so maybe I'll give it a whirl whenever it hits the bookstores. Then again, the only manga I read (Battle Vixens, Battle Club, and Black Lagoon) all have female characters in the lead ass-kicker roles, and I've got a feeling that I'm not going to like the dude character. >> Guy I suppose I wouldn't disagree with that. >> lee I love Yomi too, she's one of my favorite anime characters. I think I'm seeing a pattern here as to how one feels about the anime or manga if one read or watched the other version first. >> Lylibellule

Sometimes it looks good, to have less symmetry, but they took it too far, and the face ends up looking quite odd. I only made it to the fifth episode of the series.

I really quite like the manga, but didn't think too much of the anime simply because, while it was a decent show on it's own, it did a terrible job as a prequel as it didn't work into the manga. The characters in the end of the anime seemed worlds apart from their manga counterparts. I also prefer the manga character designs. The anime characters really do look a little too generic.

Cant stand the manga though... Cute figure though I'm more looking forward to Yomi. :p I think how the Anime started probably put some people off myself included…But I stuck it out and I actually enjoyed it a great deal.

I discover it here. It's probably because it was a limited edition in Japan. (it's really troublesome that kind of things) It's true that she's simple looking, but her face is full of teenage joy and i like it. Haha.... the dark side is out this time ;) The photo taken on the same angle as the illustration is great. Well, i have to say i didn’t really know that figure, neither the anime where she come from.
