6 September 2007: The real Nadesico dilemma lies between Yurika and Ryoko
Ruri casts a glance askance.
I finished re-watching Nadesico. I don't have any remarkable revelations to report, although I can say that I've come to like Ruri more over the years. This is not to say that I ever disliked Ruri, but the first time I watched Nadesico, I couldn't understand why she had so many fans until I got to the episode explaining her origins.
Ruri and Akito.
Now, I better appreciate Ruri's droll narratives and find her amusingly precocious. I also have the benefit of seeing in retrospect how her character influenced various immitators. For example, Primula from Shuffle! certainly borrows heavily from the Book of Ruri.
