I'll say this....the OP and ED sequences freakin' ROCKS!!! And it's obviously because it's loaded with yuri subtext! :twisted:

And then there's the first episode where they didn't bother do a proper introduction and went straight into the action. [spoiler]Sumire having the ability to go berserk when she gets shot by those anti-virus bullets is pretty neat. And then there's Lucia's different colored eyes! :oops: [/spoiler]

I really like the character designs, and the girls' school uniform looks really slick.

Only the first episode is out so far (and that was pretty average at best; not implying it totally sucked since I did enjoy it) so I have no idea where the series will lead to. Though what REALLY concerns me is that only 4 manga volumes are released, and it's still ongoing at this point. This led me to believe that there's a strong possibility of this TV series is going to last only 12/13 episodes with unresolved plot points. :x

yeah, I thought the first episode was meh at best. I dunno if I could continue watching this series. The only thing I thought was cool about the episode was what angelx03 already mentioned in the spoiler box

Episode 2 was a bit better this time. I mean what's better than a cute schoolgirl running around the hallways carrying a loaded pistol? :lol:

[spoiler]Sumire was getting pretty sick of getting tested on her berserk-status abilities so she tried to get back her normal life. Obviously that isn't working since a virus did appear, and she had to go to her berserk state in order to destroy it. Interestingly enough, her tattoo markings seemed to change at certain moments. [/spoiler]

That episode preview image of Lucia dressing up Sumire was pretty cute though! :oops:

If this is anything to go by, it should promise to be interesting.

Let's see here, episode 3 dealt with a twin girl client whom her twin brother locked himself in his room due to a virus presence. There's a bit of a plot twist in the end though! :o

And episode 4 is a MUCH needed flashback episode since it deals how Sumire got involved with viruses [spoiler]which was due to getting her finger pricked on Lucia's brooch.[/spoiler] And we get to see the first time Sumire goes to her berserked form! 8-)

This series is starting to grow on me, and I'm obviously watching it just to see Lucia's and Sumire's relationship grow.
