So, I tried making a lineless sprite.

Didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped.
It's missing some shading. You need make the irises/pupils more noticeable (the eyes look 100% white until I look closely). Also, put more detail into the beige portion of Blastoise. You need to define his chin as well. Use another, slightly darker shade to make it three shades (base, dark, and darker). I'd also add in some shining as well, but don't go over board.
Agreed- Angelic Layer was a favorite of mine. I watched some Chobits once- pretty odd 0_o... though Angelic Layer and Chobits are set in the same world but the Persocoms come later on after the Angels.
Yeah, they are in the same universe. There are tip offs in some of the stuff (The picture in the newpaper-like thing at the beginning of vol.4 with Kaede), as well as Shuuko's appearance, Icchan's appearance, and the general idea.
I think the reason I love Angelic Layer is the same reason I have a liking for Shugo Chara!. They both feature something that requires an inner will or wish to "hatch" from an egg. Only those pure of heart can truly master and understand the things that have hatched from the eggs. Both series also have a bit of childhood innocence and some good humor as well.
