ANN Needs New Hardware
As you may have noticed, ANN's servers have slowed down a lot recently. The good news is that we're very happy to have all this extra traffic. The bad news is that there isn't room in our budget for servers until January 2010, but we now need them sooner than expected. ANN isn't a charity, so we don't feel it is appropriate to request "donations." However, if you would like to support the "ANN server fund," you can subscribe to ANN Premium. You'd get access to our faster, ad-free server right away, and also help us buy new hardware in October.

Buried Treasure - Alien Nine

The clues it contains about the future direction of Guts' journey—and the relentless monster action—ultimately save it, but unless the series regains its bearings soon this will begin to qualify as a genuine slump.
It's a beauty to look at, but a pain to follow. But we continue following anyway, because the path of destiny still holds many more surprises.
A love triangle forms between two reincarnated priestesses and a boy who represents part of their nihilistic foe in a series laden with fan service and mecha action but ultimately more focused on the development of the central characters' obsessive love. Not great, but not as trashy as it initially appears to be, either.
