This show starts out with a pretty cliche high-school setting, and medicore monster-of-the-week action, that doesnt really seem to be going anywhere. Then it gets gradually more awesome, and once the mid-series plot twist kicks in, i couldn't stop watching. There are multiple interesting and original characters, the storyline is quite dramatic and emotionally heavy, the soundtrack is decent and the fights flashy and well animated. The ending was a bit of a turn-off but the series is still one of my all-time favourites, even with its flaws.
Vaerai Archon
it was the most awful and boring show ever. Everything about it felt forced, the relationships, the character quirks, right down to even the entire premesis of the series itself. The story itself dragged on and on with no pay off and the after credit character profile segments were just plain terrible or outright embarassing.
one of the worst series I have seen ever it ranks right up there with Green Green terrible
1/5
Ferretts
Huge guilty pleasure of mine. I can't really argue against any criticism except to say that despite all the suck and the lame, I had a great time watching (and rewatching) this years ago. It starts off terribly cliche, but by episode 8 you'll get a taste of what's to come.

For a show supposedly about fighting, it starts really slow and spends a lot of time on character interaction, but its not without purpose. Once the inevitable plot-twist bombshell is dropped, the characters and their relationships take on a whole new meaning and the entire tone of the show changes. The action heats up and there's an aura of genuine dramatic intensity. Leading up to what is possibly the worst non-ending of any anime in history.
Willsun
Pretty good twists utilized by the whole who-dies-with-who concept. Well-animated action. As everyone said though, the ending was a super lame way to wrap everything up. Still worth watching up to the last episode. --Willsun 04:51, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
