Like said in other reviews... it started off good then went downhill from episode 2... seemingly like its saying I'm getting worse... stay with me... it was a decent story to begin with... but the horrible CG just ruined it 4 me.....

story:
overall it was a nice story....if not typical... but hey... how many ways is there to make this kind of genre... anyways it started out good... but as it progressed it became diluted with plot holes and things that seemed just thrown in here and there... overall it just didn't add up for me... in the end it was the characters that seem ... flat and each episode didn't seem to line up in terms of development... mainly with the main characters Jin and Toa... from their first meeting they in love and the rest of the time its just repeating the same scene over and over from my perspective....

art:
the art was very nice for me... nicely drawn characters and backgrounds... but when the CG comes in close your eyes because its like throwing water over a beautiful water painting... the CG is just horrible compared to the other animation.... in itself the CG isn't bad.. but when its added to this show it becomes an eyesore... i generally skipped through the CG scenes because it just seems like it doesn't fit.... if the battle scenes were drawn in regular animation it would have been much more enjoyable...

sound:
I don't generally care much for op's and endings because generally they have nothing to do with the story or anything else for that matter....but generally speaking the sound was good except for the generic sounds during the CG battles... the background music was nice during serious scenes but the flat characters seemed to ruin it...

character:
only thing i will say here is the characters were horrible..from the first few episodes i expected the characters to grow and develop along with the story... well i was madly mistaken.... from the first time they are introduced... nearly all of them never change from the first 10 seconds... i found that rather annoying....

enjoyment:
the first half was very enjoyable... the a rather UN-enjoyable plot twist and time skip.... then it's down hill from there and you almost have to force yourself to keep watching... if you like this type of genre than by all means give it a try and you might find it very enjoyable overall....myself i enjoy anime based on the characters...

overall:
overall this is a great show if you like this kind of genre... as for me i like shows based on characters and the interactions of them.... so this show for me only gets a 6 overall... don't get me wrong... for its genre it was a good... as for overall taste its very lacking in ways of character and romance and such....

if you like then genre then by all means give it a try because you are probably going to enjoy it... but if you are looking for great characters and romance and a good overall plot... this show isn't for you... and don't waste your time.....
