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:
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.
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.
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.
