An otoku-born semi-weekly comic with friggin unbelievable art, that also gloriously realizes the essence of japanese anime narrative. This is what WWI would have been like if it were fought by women in tight fitting uniforms. With floating battleships. And godlike psychic talking cats. And there's something about dragons. The comic commendably portrays the frighteningly senseless bloody death of war unflinchingly along with romantic images of hardware, so although it's not for the faint of heart it's definitely refreshingly worth reading. The story so far has progressed with masterful patience; we haven't even begun to see a hint to answers to the story's central mysteries yet. The authors are masters of graphics-rich internet content, and at least half of their web site is solid Flash with bells and wistles out the wazoo. They do their weekly rant in streaming audio. However they have thoughtfully provided an ordinary HTML version of their pages for those of us stuck in the dark ages. There's a great precursor story to read, which is important because the update rate has slowed to a trickle and I don't have time to download the newest windows media player so I can listen to their rant and find out why.
