And then there's the fan service, which continues to ramp up in concentration by including multiple near-nude scenes and considerable breast size-related content. J.C. Staff's artistry and animation is almost invariably at its best in such scenes, apparently showing where the studio's priorities lie. Otherwise the artistic quality is somewhat erratic, with character designs looking sharp in places and a bit rougher in others. The backgrounds always look cheap by comparison, but the animation actually does not fare badly. The only new design is Elda's, which looks like Karin with longer, alternate-colored hair and a considerably less well-developed bosom. For further variety she normally dresses quite differently and generally sports a smug smirk, a stark contrast to the more fragile and frequently panic-stricken Karin. The ever-changing eye catches do showcase some additional visual creativity, but devoting that extra effort to the regular artistry would have been appreciated more.
