Comments:
All this time, I didn't know Asakawa Yuu voiced Pochi #2-#28. The
last time I watched this, it was a long time ago, when I didn't know
her at all.
Anyway, I think Photon is the best anime AIC has ever made. They're
better known for Tenchi series, but I feel that the artists were
slightly constrained when they made Tenchi Muyo. They just did
whatever they felt like with Photon and it came out to be naturally
entertaining piece. On Agga Ruter, I think they went too far,
thinking they wanted to go there, but I don't think they actually
wanted to go that far, so the whole thing came out to be even less
natural than Tenchi series was, and eventually, they just dropped the
whole thing.
Technically, it's slightly better than R1, but since R1 was not that
bad except for the contrast levels, I can't say I recommend this over
R1 to casual viewers. It's a lot more expensive, after all.
You be the judge. First one is from R1 and the second one is from R2.
