I wanted to say something nice about it, but...

It might have worked as a concious parody of anime. That's what it was trying to be. The overly cliche characters, dialogue, etc. I get that. I get what it was trying to be. But when the jokes you pile into something are so obvious, one after the other like this, it gets old really fast. If it was aimed at children, the writing would be forgivable.

...But where the writing was forgivable, the art isn't. The art is -atrocious-. The artist has no grasp on anatomy, line work or colouring. The character designs are boring except for the random scuba suit guy which was the only element of this I found amusing. The panelling and flow is confusing. And google search backgrounds? Really? I'm pretty certain that the art isn't intentionally this bad, since the book is being sold for money.

No excuses. > _ > I want my $1 back.
