I, for one, love both these creators. I'm really excited for this!

I like both of them too. And I have wanted to see Shirow do something a bit light hearted for a long time. So good news as far as it goes. Hopefully it works.
It does look a bit, um, "cookie-cutter", but hey, I've see a lot worse concepts turn in to something ok.

Very true, but I think Masamune Shirow is having fun with this. It is a bit lighthearted and cheerful. Nanakorobi Nene has to be one of the most cheerful and armed anime characters I have ever seen.
You ever notice the hotter the mad scientist, the more amoral she is?

Very good point! and Uzal is definitely at the top end of the hot spectrum.

I've never heard of this manga??? I was under the assumption that Shirow only drew hentai for the past decade.

@Anddo
He wrote this, he didn't draw it. In a note in the first volume he says his art is too old fashioned, what every that means. This was drawn by the artist of Excel Saga.
