I'm not a huge AMG fan, to be honest. I will admit that it's one of those "classic" anime/manga series that most anime fans have at least heard of, even if they've never read it or watched the series. I'm sort of ambivalent about it; I like the art (especially of the pin ups) but I feel the plot and characters aren't really all that interesting and deep to sustain it for all these years. I bought and watched the original OVAs, the movie, and even the chibi-goddess thing over the years between their releases, but when both TV series came out I passed on them without much thought.

I built this one because it's a nice looking pose; it also magically manages to stay standing despite the small footprint of the column she is sitting on. The model itself is well designed with simple parts, although the designer provided a very low resolution lineless version, which caused all the black cut lines to become huge, pixelated and unsightly when I printed it. I should have probably trimmed them off, but not mangling the parts in the process would have been hard -- especially on her face. Still though, there wasn't much drama building this. It's a fairly straightforward build, with a few tiny pieces just to make me print it again.
