I'm on the fence on this show myself.

25% gal action for the crew so far by ep 4.

The fighting is just fine.

Best fights so far are still in Soul Hunter's neighborhood though

I'm watching it...so far I really like the art style and the animation. Also, the random comedic bits are really good :3

Exactly what I was feeling throughout the first episode. It is the hair. It's too... yeah. :|
Beginning was a little fast, but not necessarily a bad thing. Pretty much failed at explanations, but got right to the fights. Tackling through the window made me lol.
Will try to get caught up in a few days.

Hmm.. I'm liking the character designs too. Maybe I'll check this out sooner or later. I'm just not in an anime mood right now >_>

Dropped the series.

NOT one of J.C. Staffs better works I'd presume.

Too much talking, not enough fighting and what's more, massive emo going on... Not a fan of emos unless they're justified.

Emos in most games are unjustified, and very very few are.

Sasuke makes sense, Kain makes sense (Play some Lost Odyssey, best reasons to be Emo if I've ever seen them)

Fighting is mediocre with what's been put out thus far...

Caught up through 6; will watch 7 tonight after work.

I was honestly also thinking of dropping this show through episode 5, but episode 6 intruiged me. I shall stay with this show to the end.

Ok, I know this thread has been dead over a year.... but yeah.

So I've only seen the first episode (FUNimation's dub version) and I was wondering why they gave Miharu a girl VA? Did they try to change his gender to cover up the shounen-ai parts? Is it even shounen-ai? I'm kinda confused because if they wanted to change his gender, then why didn't they just actually do it and have him be a girl? I'm confused...

The choice of the VA isn't really related to the gender, more to the voice they can pull off - if it's what they envision for the character, they go for it irregardless. In fact, IIRC, even Goku in DBZ had a female VA for the japanese version, but it's not like they wanted goku to be considered gay or anything. :P
