Hmmmm...
Art: Has definitely improved from the beginning. I would love to see more of those occasional detailed backgrounds with amazing perspective. They're really awesome. The art in general is good, but a bit unclear/sketchy and could be more uniform. However, that may be what you're going for.
Writing: Grammatical and spelling errors are nearly constant, which is dissapointing. Reading this comic would be a lot easier if these were cleared up before being posted. There are also a lot of typos that could easily be fixed with a quick proofread.
The use of internet slang is...interesting. I think the writer is going for a style type of thing with that, but it isn't quite clear. I personally don't like internet slang in general, but if this is the writer's preference, it's up to them.
The use of German and Japanese, for me, seemed pretty good. I wouldn't opt to do something like that because I know I couldn't pull it off, but since only a little is used and it is easily understood, I think it works. I don't know though, I speak both the languages in question (poorly, but I speak them), and maybe if I didn't I would be more annoyed by it.
Layout: This drove me a little nuts. I think you need to decide whether you are doing a comic or illustrating a written work. If you really want to do a comic, I would suggest having speech bubbles of some kind to indicate who is speaking, rather than the bulleting format you are using now that reads like a script or dialogue. There will be more pages this way and the story will take longer to unfold, but it will look so much better.
If you prefer to write with illustrations, I would suggest keeping the dialogue and artwork completely seperate or at least integrating it onto the page better. Also, writing seperately from the illustrations would require not only dialogue, but some form of narrative to describe what's going on so that the reader doesn't get so confused.
Because you have this amazing ability to do backgrounds like I have rarely seen, I would also say that you could do more with your pages. Neaten them up a bit, use a lot more backgrounds and fill in the white space, and this could look amazing.
Overall it's pretty good. It gets confusing because of the layout and language/writing issues, but if you work on those I think it could be a lot better in the end.

I'm sorry, I'm going to be harsh with this comic. I really gained nothing from this comic aside from the info that the author likes drawing big breasted girls, is obsessed with sex, and there's not enough features on the female characters to tell them apart.
The comic is rife with spelling errors. There is hardly any background EVER (although some of the perspective when there is is okay). And although this character may be...well endowed, she's incredibly flat. She has no defining characteristics. There is no setup to this story. I have no idea where the characters are at any time because of lack of backgrounds. And all these little anime hijinks are just completely non-sensical. This is more of a non-sequiter than a story.
I'll let someone else write a review. I don't even know what to think of this comic.

I can't believe that there is that much text in the story and I still don't have a clue as to what's going on.
The one good thing I could find about this comic was the energy. @~@ It's a hyper comic. So much energy and life in the drawings.
Unfortunately, it moves so fast that I don't know what was happening. I don't know what's supposed to be serious and what's supposed to be funny. There was those text pages that attempted to explain what was going on, but all I could pick up from it was a bunch of names with no meaning. The way that all the information was thrown out there in simple text really bothered me. I thought the idea of a comic was to get things across visually. I still don't know who the characters are or where they are half the time. It's by far the most confusing comic I've ever come across. Sometimes an extremely wild setting and progression make a comic fun, but here it's just irritating. It doesn't work. If you wanted to make a more serious story, I would suggest you space out the dialogue a little bit and clarify it, and not interrupt it too much with wisecracks. If you wanted it to be one of those random stories, I'd get rid of most of the information altogether.

There are a lot of inconsitencies in this comic.
I've seen some AMAZING perspective in some of those panels at times and then at others, no perspective whatever.
The comic's the equivalent of an online acid trip, I think.
Before the Prologue, a lot of it makes NO sense at all. I couldn't tell who was talking or what they were talking about.
But after the prologue, explaining the Bruzela's and etc, I kind of picked up what was going on.
I think a lot of the problems in this comic could be corrected (like the others said) through a simple fixing of grammatical errors and a better format of text. I liked the story, it just developed too quickly.
I like the art for the most part, I'm a pushover for fan service too. I'd love to see a more consistent layout, however.
My suggestion is to (if you don't have time or capability to) find someone who will take your scripts and drawings and do the text/layout for you.
Anyways I could tell some improvement from the beginning.
Maybe with a little more work, you could have something VERY impressive.

i'm trying to review every comic that comes up in this thread, so here goes:
ARTWORK - not my bag but i'm sure it will appeal to those manga-lovers out there. having said that, i often felt a bit lost as to which order the panels were in. maybe i'm too old-school. but as soon as i feel confused, i slow down and stop enjoying the comic. so, for me, the layout made it hard to enjoy.
WRITING - i commend you for making the writing part of the art and for being fairly unique. however, i don't feel that you've pulled it off because the story is really confusing. i recommend, going forward, slow down and give us some backstory. this appears to be a more serious comic (despite the attempts at humor) and so requires some history. only gag-a-day type strips get away without any backstory and even then they still benefit by it. there seems to be a lot of unnecessary commentary by the characters that doesnt add to the story and makes it all a bit tiring to read.
OVERALL - despite how harsh my comments might seem, i think you've shown enough talent and creativity that i feel this or future comics of yours show a lot of promise. this one is definately not bad but it could be better. keep at it and i'm sure you'll develop a unique style and a fan base.
