I don't like writing reviews before watching all episodes but I'll make an exception here. Later, I'm going to edit this with my new impressions. So far, this anime is really good. (it's updated now)
Characters may seem superficial at the beginning but they start changing. Akko, the MC, is really really annoying and stupid until episode 7, I guess (it's the one she has exams to do). After that, she starts changing a lot. She's still a bit annoying but you can see how much she's improving. The same happens with the other characters, the show starts showing more about them. I think all characters
...
here are interesting, but Akko's friends are surely the ones I enjoy the most.
The ideas from the OVAs were well adapted and deepened. Diana had the most relevant change in the series, she's not as stuck-up as in the OVAs. Even though she still has that "superior" pose, she helps everyone who asks for her help her and she doesn't bully Akko (her "friends", though, are still the same bullies).
About the story, well, in the first "season" (the 12 first episodes), it's more like a slice of life. Later, they started developing the "main story". It's still an episodic serie but you can clearly see now the "greater" story behind every episode and there's more action.
Art and soundtrack are great, but, well, it's TRIGGER STUDIOS, so, no less would be expected.
This is a very chilling and funny anime. There's also lots of references to other animes and general pop culture (my favorite one so far is the show's parody of Twilight). If you want to have a nice time and some laughs, this is your show.
UPDATE:
Now that I watched everything, I can update this review. I've got nothing much to add but I'll put my last impressions here: it definitely gets more action at the end, characters are really really well-developed (particularly Akko and Diana) and the story is good and well-played. It's a really good show. The last episode, though, was a bit less intense than I expected.

I really liked this manga. The artwork is pretty good, characters are generally well-developed, Sakura is a great main character and the story is good, even though after the 6th volume it kind of plays for time but it's still pretty enjoyable to read.
The development of the romantic subplot between Sakura and Syaoran is a bit far-fetched, I don't like them as a couple, but there's something that bothers me much more than their relationship: there are a lot of pedophile relationships, which is really, really disgusting and creepy. I counted 4 established pedo-couples, but I might be forgeting some. All of those relationships are,
...
sadly, romanticized and shown as a "really sweet thing" and all this wrong stuff you would expect of shoujo stories. The worst of them is the relationship between one of Sakura's classmates (they're like 10 years old in the manga) and a teacher! So, if you want to read this, beware. I don't know if this might be triggering - there's no "action" between any couple at all (not even kisses are shown in the story) but you get the idea the relationships are pretty solid. I also don't have any clue of how those relationships are shown in the anime since I didn't watched it.
There are also a lot of pan/bisexual and homosexual characters, they're all pretty good characters, which I find awesome. I guess this is the serie with most LGBTQ characters I've ever read/watched (but there's no T and the no-gender/queer characters are not human).
Anyway, generally speaking, this serie is pretty good, but there's idealized pedophilia as I mentioned earlier.

I watched this some years ago and rewatched recently because I didn't remember the story very well. I guess this show is not worth rewatching if you're not as forgetful as me.
The series' enviroment is good and the soundtrack is also good. I loved almost all the openings and endings (there are 4 each). But the plot... oh boy, that could have been great. The plotline is: the main character has to kill all the chiropteans (vampires) and Diva, the main antagonist (also a chiroptean). Sounds really stupid but at some points this is very well played and really entertaining. Also, there's a little discussion
...
about blood family VS non-related family, which is interesting but poorly executed. It could be a really good show if it wasn't for Saya, who is really tedious, and all this "humans VS chiropteans" thing, that mostly shows a self-centered mankind and a stupid and entirely avoidable fight (oddly, chiropteans noticed it quicker than humans).
The main character, Saya Otonashi, looks like a pretty good heroine at the beginning. But then you start discovering that she's just a really really spoiled kid who can't think about anyone except herself and some people she might befriend. For years and years, she keeps trying to kill Diva because Diva is supposedly bad. But that's not true. Diva is indeed something like a psycho but it's because she's been tortured and used her whole life. It would be reasonable (and tragic) to hunt Diva if Saya didn't know about this but she's given evidence about it ALL THE TIME. There's even a chapter where someone TELLS HER about it and stuff. And Saya does what??? Instead of saying "Ok, you guys are SO DAMN CRAZY and you TORTURED SOMEONE FOR YEARS and now you're trying to kill her, it's pretty obvious she would hate all of you. I'M OUT, I'm not killing anyone, you're all really crazy people, go get some treatment", she says something like "Ooooh, nooo, this all my fault, she's sooooo bad, she killed the bastard who tortured her because she's bad, she's naturally bad, nothing but bad, I will kill Diva because she's bad. Have I already said she's bad??? Oh, I hate Diva, she's bad, bad, bad". That's so spoiled I can't stand it. Saya is one of the worst protagonists I've ever seen because she's (em)pathetic with basically anyone except Diva, for just no reason (the only possible reason is: she's spoiled).
Diva, on the other hand, is a very interesting character and I dare to say she's the only reason you should watch this show. She one of the best antagonists I've ever seen and she has a great background story. She's MUCH MORE interesting than Saya even though the show doesn't focus much on her (at least, not compared with Saya).
Also, all that Siff stuff is really, really boring. The only good thing about them is that you can have some laughs since they look like goth teenagers (I found it really funny, sorry).
The end of the story is also pretty dull and foreseeable.
