Capricorn is cute. Johji Manabe always does cute shows. He is a wonderful manga artist! Anyway, Capricorn is about a girl who is the supposed "last" of her kind, the Yappie. She has wings and a tail, I believe. Anyway, she is bathing, of course, in the first scene. Taku (I saw this awhile back, bear with me as I struggle to remember names, if I ever even do!) walks over by her and pretty much spies on her. He is in awe over the fact that she is winged and has a tail, let alone - she's nude.
After this, she comes back to him. Taku is surprised to see her again, and she needs his help. But it's not exactly like she really wants his help. Well, the story from here revolves around why she needs his help, and blowing things up. The ending to the show is really, really psycho. You may like it, you may not. I thought it was rather cute and... daring.
Storyline
5/5 It was good, I like the sci-fi stuff. I am a science-fiction freak!
Character Development
4/5 For the most part it was good, but there weren't many characters, and when there were some others, you didn't know what their names were.
Plot Depth
5/5 Twas good, says I. (Ok, Faris wanna-be!)
Music
5/5 Cute, cute, cute! As always in a Manabe work of art!
Sexual Content
5/5 Just the fact that he got a nosebleed as he saw her in the lake bathing.
Nudity

5/5 The usual Manabe style, complete with animal people and all!

Overall goodness
5/5 It was a well-thought out and good story.
Totals: 45/50, or good. I liked it. What a surprise.
As said above, BAA RAM EWE BAA RAM EWE TO SHEEPS BE TRUE!! Okay, that was nothing at all to do wtih Capricorn, but I felt like saying something totally irrelevant. So I did. So, a guy sees a naked chick with wings and a tail. He thinks she is sexy. Gee, I wonder why. She's naked. She throws a fit. He gets embarrassed. It turns out that this planet he's on, thinks that another planet, Capricorn, is invading. Well, Capricorn is Earth, and that's about that. So this bad man, or should I say animal, gets all pooey-eyes, and decides, HEY!! This chick's got wings and a tail! She must be part dragon! So I will torture her with bad bad things! So he does. And it's bad and he is a bad bad man. So there, pooey-eyes.

Capricorn is another animal/human based story made by the wonderful Johji Manabe! It's got action, cute people, a wild plotline, some nice old blood and gore, the occasional potty mouth, and a little bit of fanservice. Is it any wonder that fanboys and fangirls alike will enjoy this?
