Just watch it, it's short and funny and you will be on your way in no time.
This is an anime about a 30 year old corporate drop out woman who chooses to become a NEET, a self proclaimed elite NEET. You will relate to the characters and like the show if you have ever been insecure about anything, like playing MMOs, and/or like boy meets girl comedy. The story quickly turns into a romantic comedy while playing an MMO. The story is less about the MMO playing, though there are some things they get right, and more about the relationship ... of the main character to the guy she meets in-game. Miraculously, this anime actually wraps up most of the loose ends before the end, the show deserves a 5/10 just for that.

story = 7/10 : pretty typical story, except they aren't in High school
ending/wrap up = 9/10 : it actually ends
animation = 8/10 : no complaints
music = 9/10 : the opening song is pretty cool, in-episode music is nothing special
characters = 9/10 : Main character is awesome
disappointment factor = 9/10 : Delivers what you would think

This anime was almost totally awesome. Almost.... It was a great storyline about vampires and humans living in a post-apocalyptic earth in the distant future. What?! That is awesome! The main character Abel was a bad-ass with a dark past of bad behavior (apparently) and a quirky split personalilty who wouldn't kill humans... who was kind of basically Vash from Trigun. Yah, he isn't a human.

Almost totally awesome! But the ending and I had a bad break up, I mean basically there wasn't an ending at all, only a few disatissfying explanations.... This wasn't as bad as ... some anime, but as a warning for people that might want a real ending, this anime was the final straw for me and I was forced to come up with a fifth scoring element, it's called writers please make a plot with an ending, oh, I mean write a complete story, or, I mean I called it: "ending/wrap up". TB gets a 3/10 in that category. I know I know, the Manga explains it all, but I didn't read the Manga, so sorry for not knowing everything ahead of time. I thought that was the point of a show, to give you plot details and make a story! Not to make a show for the Manga reading audience and force everyone else to read wikipedia just to understand the storyline. The explanation for Abel's super-vamp-destroyer-awesomeness went something like this: "we were mars colonist". wtf? Well, actually nano-alien-technology turned us into these things (apparently). I guess that makes his hair stand straight up when he gets mean??

Character development could have been totally awesome too with some of the Vatican's AX vamp hunting peace keeping crew that Abel was on, but there wasn't much at all. There are some flashback's into Abel's story that kept it interesting. Also, the Esther character voiced by Colleen Clinkenbeard had a change of heart that counts as character development which was cool.

So what was good about this Anime? The story was almost awesome. If you like Vash with Vampires and some awesome action scenes and a few characters with cool powers thrown in with a disappointing ending, then watch it.

story = 8/10

characters = 7/10

This is a lighthearted romantic comedy with magical/spirit elements that you should watch if you like that sort of thing. This anime is great because of the kind heart and thoughtfulness of Nanami, her good mood puts you in a good mood, but she has flare too which is fun. Tomoe's past keeps it interesting. Basically the humor and build up of the characters is what makes this anime 9/10, it's not like the greatest story ever told, but who cares, it's funny and keeps you coming back for more. Also, they mostly wrap up everything with explanations, unlike most other anime I've seen. ...

I might be under the influence of the opening song but I thought this anime was totally awesome!, anybody who doesn't like that song isn't awake when its on.

What the flameo happened here?

I know that it is easy to be a critic and all... but: This Anime is best summed up by an announcement made at 20:44 in the last episode of the series: "Uh, at this point we are still unable to determine exactly what is happening." If you watch that scene before watching the series you might think to yourself that you would be able to figure out what is actually happening if you had watched the entire series... good luck.

Admittedly my misunderstanding(s) and non-understanding(s) could be due to the fact that I don't know much about Shinto legends. ... However, I am human and I can usually follow plot points and basic story telling.
