This was a pretty good anime overall. The plot is interesting, and the story doesn't drag on like some other anime's. They could have made the plot a little bit more complex, but they didn't.
The characters are alright, but they don't really go into detail on their lives, like some other series out there that only focus on characterization and no plot. But it is an "action" anime so that is understandable. There's a couple "extra" characters in it that are really useless but the series isn't long enough for them to get on your nerves. I personally liked the nurse and doctor the ... most out of this series. The rest were space fillers lol.
The animation is pretty good, since it's not such an old series. The opening and endings aren't all that bad if you don't mind jazz sounds.

This is a pretty mild series in my opinion. Although if they come up with a second season I might change my mind.
The idea for the fox spirit-guardian is interesting for the plot, I'd say that's about as original as it gets. But they could seriously have done more with it which didn't really happen. There are a couple filler episodes in there, some of which had this annoying sakura girl character just rambling on and on which I suppose was supposed to be some sort of comic relief =__=. Other than that, it just ended early so there isn't really all that much ... point to this series.
Overall, it's an alright series to watch, but at the same time leaves you with the impression that it lacks a lot of things.

This anime is absolutely HORRIBLE!! Okay, to be fair, it only became horrible after episode 8. At the beginning I was rating it a 10 and placing it among my favorite animes. The plot was somewhat unique, and there was the mystery as to exactly what the girl was running from, and shinkuro's past. But as the answers start to become revealed by each episode somehow in the 9th episode the author of the anime has no idea/clue where to take the anime. The action goes downhill, which is disappointing since it is supposed to be an action genre and they turn a possible bourne ... ultimatum-type action genre down to something you see on madtv (basically ridiculous). And just the way it ended was soooo pathetically random, I was just speechless as to how irritating it was. The only part that made my mood any better was the last 2 seconds where the focus was on shinkuro.
Anyways, if you MUST watch this anime watch it to episode 8, and skip to the last episode 12 if you even feel like finding out how it turns out. Otherwise, I recommend not to even waste your time on this anime since you will be horribly disappointed.

Maybe back in the day it was something to go gya gya over (according to the person who rated it a 10) but to me it was cliche after cliche. Some of the scenes are cute, but there's nothing new or surprising in the story. The episodes are very skippable, I'd compare it to saiyuki where there is really nothing to tie all the series together except for the same characters that keep appearing in them with a couple attempts at humour. So, you can skip a bunch of the episodes as I did and still not miss a thing. I guess, most of the ... part that you could call a "plot" appeared in the last couple episodes of the series and even that was soooooooo predictable that you can just skip through it. So, I recommend that you watch this if you are really bored, or in the mood for watching something really predictable and bla.
Also, as another personal rant comment, the guy is supposed to be a crappy magician so why is he practicing with swords??!!! shouldn't he be training to become a better magician???

If you watched Saiyuki and liked it, you will definitely watch the Reload and gunlock sequels. However you will be surprised (as I was) that the sequels are all filler episodes. In Saiyuki, they showed some parts in the character's past lives so one would think it would have some relation to the overall plot of the sequels, which shockingly it did not. The characters look better in the sequels than in saiyuki (especially gojo, his hair actually becomes red and not purple this time) so that was a plus, if not the only one.
And the whole one-pattern personalities and lines get old after ... a couple hundred episodes, and I was just left wondering why oh why did I waste my time watching 60something episodes of plotless intermission to which there is no sequel. So, if you want to just watch some more of the characters of saiyuki getting together then this is the series to watch, because there is no story really, its just a veeery long series of filler episodes.

If you like space adventures, strategy/tactical plots, not to mention epic's, then this is the series for you!
The art is old but improves as the series progresses, so its easier to appreciate the story later on. So don't go around imagining advanced mecha like gundams or anything lol. The plot is very nice, I think it was based on a novel so thats probably why it is a bit more satisfying than most other anime's out there. Especially if you're the type that likes story's involving conspiracies, political struggle type moments you will be very satisfied.
Overall, I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes the ... above type genres ^__^V.

To everyone with similar tastes to mine: Watch this series when you are absolutely bored out of your mind.

The creator was obviously trying to cross gundam with some other shojo series and in the hype forgot all about a simple thing called Plot. So don't expect much there. The interesting part was the past relationships, which (btw) becomes totally meaningless by the end. I don't even know why the creator even bothered?!

As for the characters, a load of them should have died off or become part of the quiet background. Amazingly, the only interesting character was the main (Apollo). Which, I must add, is just ... sad since he doesn't change at all through the whole series. Which made me wonder just what is the point of having such a static main character??
The animation/art is pretty modern so that is one of the only things in the anime I can actually comment on positively. And I didn't enjoy any of the opening/ending themes so I can't say much for that.
So, this anime should only be watched when you have a looooott of time to waste.

The story was pretty good, although somewhat predictable. What anime isn't?? Throughout the story, I was annoyed by 2 things the most; one was that zero doesn't really have ANY point in the story except for as a ridiculous background information to how some characters were part of a group.
second, the sword drawing techniques kept changing from standing, bending over backwards, to having ::cough::orgasms::cough::. Which really made me think the author was still indecisive about plot/animation in general.
Characters were pretty good. Some of them could have used more development.
Also, there is not much to say for the sound, near the end the background music was ... just noisy and questionable for the scene at the same time.
But it is overall an enjoyable anime to watch when you're bored which I obviously was.

The story is entertaining, with the drama elements and some attempts at humour. There's the typical ayakashi hunting episodes, and cute relationships that develop between the characters. The series has the potential to be better, but in the end tends to disappoint on that end, and just screams for a second season.
The character developments are alright, but I'd say the most developed was Mokkun (my fave) which was the principal point of interest to the whole series.
The songs weren't all that great, but somewhat tolerable in ... my opinion.
Overall, it's a fairly good episode to enjoy on a rainy day, so to speak.

The art style is similar to FMA since the creator seems to be the same ^_^, so it's nice/cute.
Story-wise it is a bit cliche (the whole epic power-struggle, and betrayal themes) but it does have it's own unique characteristics which is cute and makes you want to see more.
The character development is well done which as usual enhances the anime's enjoyment.
Overall entertainment is very good so far, so if you liked FMA, any martial-arts/fantasy-type genre stories you willl not be disappointed with this anime. Also, I think the plot will end up getting more complicated (I'm hoping lol XP) so there is much ... to anticipate in the following episodes for this series.
Also, the opening theme is noice!!
