*palm to face*

I don't think there is anything redeemable about this anime. It doesn't have any solid grounding on humor or satire, unless the whole anime is the satire, to which I'd have to say that I don't get it.

The characters have their memorable traits, and maybe the anime will expand on them as it goes on, provide more background and depth, but there's a disconnect somewhere. Furthermore, worthwhile child psychology and analysis doesn't seem to have entered into any part of the anime yet. It's been a lot of play at shock-and-awe with a few sentimentally designed plots thrown in, but they fail to integrate and immerse the sequences in a convincing way.

It sounds like you're right. Perhaps I'm being too critical of the anime when it's only been 7 episodes. I've been reading up on the manga to see where the story is going. if the director maintains a certain level of accuracy to the manga, the anime will become very heavy and dark. Perhaps not as heavy and darkas in Elfen Lied, maybe more narrative as in NGE, but it's still a lot of things to think about.

I have to say that this series has created one hell of a controversy recently (of course Anime News Network took the biggest hit in this issue; god, that was a very ugly mess in the forums back then

). Seven Seas was supposed to release the manga sometime this year, but the sketchy content made the retailers rather bothered so Seven Seas canceled their production. And also a lot of the Japanese TV broadcasters that were suppose to show the anime outright cancelled it, and the few that did show it were showing it with a lot of content censored. It makes me wonder if the DVDs are going to be uncensored and such.

One thing for sure. The chances of this coming to the R1 market are horrifically slim to none unless some company is willing to open up a can of worms.

I grabbed the first ep a while back because I had no clue what it was. I tried watching it but it is not my cup of tea. I have a question though, did I see Pedobear in the OP? If so then lolz.

.. Ep 09 .. well, that confirms it; an idea I had when this fall season first started -- that every Anime released was all programmed by the same writer/computer-program!

.. at first I didn't want to see that the "connection" was true, considering how slow this season started, then when every series "now has" a death, murder, personal injury and/or Witch -- it can only be concluded that ever series this fall season of 2007 has been pre-programmed by one author!

Spoiler :

.. I've never read the Manga on this series, but Episode 11 puts Rin on the spot with her guardian; something nobody should have to face ( even if they don't recognize the Signs )
