My thoughts on Ultra Nova.
Here we go, a post no one has asked for! Thank you to anti aarmau, who were the people to introduce me to this series in the first place. Just a disclaimer: I'm not gonna talk about the character models. Everybody agrees that they don't look good now, so it'd just be beating a dead horse. Jason tried hard to make them look good and I think that this is the only time I've ever sympathized with him. Let's get onto it!
Surprisingly, I found an Aphmau series I don’t totally hate. I really do like the theme and premise; the whole “bottom 25% gets kicked out” thing brings on an interesting conflict for the characters to overcome, especially Nashemeira. On the topic of the characters, I like most of them. My favorite is EASILY Nashemeira's dad. He tries to be supportive to his daughter even in bad times for the both of them and it makes him really nice and likable. He is overprotective but not annoying overprotective, and I hope we see more of him, honestly.
One thing that REALLY makes me happy, though, is that the main character isn’t a total mary sue. It seems like jess, as a writer, has improved from those classes she took; and I'm definitely proud of her. After all, practice makes perfect.
So overall, I think that I'm gonna continue to watch this series for now. I'll give it a 7/10 average for the two episodes so far.
