Not that long I think.

Only the ending was kinda nice.

Not absolute crap but not all that good either. I wasn't expecting much so I'll keep watching for a little while at least.

Did the guy with the guns remind anyone else of Vash, except well, not nearly as cool.

I felt it was great. A bit of comedy and a bit of fighting. Storyline may become better, hard to say. overall the story was decent. Bad drawings? I wouldnt say that. its a different style but not in a bad way.

This was almost too mediocre to comment on. It was like a bunch of shounen cliches rehashed. Wasn't originally intending to watch it, but it's one of the few shows this season that has been subbed. The one awesome moment was cyruz' screenshot.
Not the worst show in the world, but I don't think I'll be continuing.

Well, I agree with everyone that is definatly not blow your mind anime by any means. I really enjoy the ending, and the guy with the glasses and guns.

In fact, his antics are the main reason I plan to at least keep watching a few more weeks.

Not that bad. I prefer more intelligent anime, but I expected this to be worse, tbh. It seems worth watching when my brain needs a rest.

If this show had been better executed it might have become some good stuff... but the way it is it stays mediocre.

For me those 2 characters had some good parts to them but also some annoying parts.
For example the "flying" gunman was quite funny, but his way of speaking was just a bit annoying at times.
So i'm kind of torn if I should keep watching this. I'll let the next two or three episodes decide.

Yes, he reminded me a lot. I thought I'd be the only one who thought that.

I liked it okay. It wasn't hilarious or anything, but it made me smile a lot. I didn't start watching it expecting something amazing in the first place, so it's all good. Not brilliant, but at this point I still want to keep watching.

It was pretty average. But there's definitely room for it to improve, so I'll keep watching for at least another episode or two.

seems.. just.. average.
The first 5 minutes were boring as hell, then the opening sucked. Then i kinda got into it when the guy with the guns randomly popped up. Still, nothing special. Ill keep watching it for at least a few eps, cause i like the guy with the guns.

I'm not comparing this to Slayers by any means, just a bit of thing there to keep you fangirls/guys from getting pissed off at me, but I think I enjoyed this a lot more because I did watch all of the Slayers series recently. I think, before watching Slayers, this kind of show would have annoyed me. xD;

I'll probably keep on watching this. I like Anime that has a world on its own and are very open to possible development since they have their own universe. And I like flashy stuff.

Well its not so bad... seems like the currently new releases of anime are within 5-7 range... this anime could have built more on the beginning story but i can live with what they gave... only thing left is to see if it gets better.

I had no idea what to expect from the title alone. Can't say that I hate it. I'll keep watching because it's better than most late night TV. I have too much spare time. The guy with the guns reminds me of Abel Nightroad from Trinity Blood. Anyone else think so?

I liked it. Certainly not a very intellectually demanding show, but entertaining. And I really like the stylised character design. OP and ED are good too.

Based on my first impressions, this show looks right up Gonzo's alley. Weird goofy faces, comedy, and animation: check. Knowing them tho, they'll probably still find a way to mess it up, hehe.

Not a good sign when the main character's backstory is very simplistic and uninteresting, and how Roxy possessed the sword is virtually unanswered. Aside from that, the curse seems like a pain in the ass, tbh.

They cranked up the sound effects for this opinion episode. More laughs were provided from them than the actual "comedy", lmao.
