I'm starting to believe it will never actually go back to the full comic

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask for some clarity on the punchline. At first I thought the image in the mirror was supposed to just be generic bad anime looking and thought a funnier self referential punchline would be if he was drawn in the Anime News Nina style. Then I thought maybe that was what you were going for, but looking back at Nina the styles don't quite seem to match up to me.

So is that the joke?

Gaze upon it and despair.

^ Was there a Cyberteam in Akihabara OVA?
The cover in the comic is from volume 1 of the TV series.

I enjoyed the series enough that I have watched it twice, so far.
I never saw the movie because it was not licensed here.

I also do not get the end of the comic.

Yeah, sorry about that - originally we were going to do 3 weeks of these little gag strips, but that blossomed into 4. Next week we introduce a new character (there's a new employee!) and a new storyline.

If you drop the Maybell x Luna story I will be sad.

Maybell x Luna is ongoing, but it isn't the focus of this new storyline (though Maybell makes a guest appearance).

I don't know, I think I'd rather become a Tsukasa Kotobuki character design than one by Hisashi Hirai.

There are worse things than a moeified universe. Imagine being in Panty and Stocking's universe.

You never know, maybe it's actually fun to be a giant poop monster.

Ah, Cyber Team in Akihabara... Such sweet memories of that show with Akihabara Quintet and their Pata-Pi...

Vice may as well look on the bright side; with a cute look, at least he'll have better luck of being the life of the party. Wink [/b]

Hmmm. The joke is one of Jacob and Zac's standard whipping boys. I want the story back, please.
