I am sort of split over this anime. On one hand it has really good characters, great animation and an interesting, if unexplored, setting. On the other hand the story ends up a little weak because the manga is set up to go on for like 3 more years and Bones had to pull a premature ending. They did a decent job of it, but it got a little too cliche at times and a few of the villains were given anticlimactic ends compared to their buildup in the episodes before. Bones also made a few episodes that consisted of some pretty bad filler which focused on a rather annoying minor character, but its easy enough to skip over them. However, in general the good outweighs the bad. 4/5 | I am sort of split over this anime. On one hand it has really good characters, great animation and an interesting, if unexplored, setting.

I am sort of split over this anime. On one hand it has really good characters, great animation and an interesting, if unexplored, setting. On the other hand the story ends up a little weak because the manga is set up to go on for like 3 more years and Bones had to pull a premature ending. They did a decent job of it, but it got a little too cliche at times and a few of the villains were given anticlimactic ends compared to their buildup in the episodes before.

Dear Bones, that is NOT, I repeat: NOT, how you do an ending seperate to the manga.
Yours, A concerned citizen.
Thumbs Down
Scruffy the janitor
I really liked this show, especially the idea of weapons being able to take a human shape. The scenery is also some of the coolest drawing I've seen in a show. All that said the anime only ending kind of sucked, but is was still worth watching if you just act like there will eventually be more. 4/5
helopticor
The first half of it was surprisingly good for a shounen battle show. The second half was much worse.
resurgam40
Not a bad anime, all in all. I was introduced to the series through it, and it was well animated and I liked the soundtrack. However, there was a drop in quality when the plot diverged from the manga, so I would recommend the manga as the stronger work. It's still ongoing, but the author seems to be building to a climax.
