because if he was any more feminine and a lick-spittle the show would be yaoi.

you mean the tall blond dude who likes reading dirty poetry and sipping tea in the corridor at school, the guy who only shows interest in the girl as a present for the long haired guy he wants to impress?

sure its a stretch. but think about it. with almost no change at all they could make this show yaoi with him and X-01 while she had to watch from her roped up position. his being a backstabber doesn't make him all that manly either.

just replacing Heike with Ogami would make the show far more amusing and make Sakura more bearable

Why does that sound so entertaining? I am not supposed to be into yaoi, I am a straight male.

you don't have to be into BL to see its possibility from some pretty common character looks found in BL in regular anime.

Episode 12
Hitomi's side vs code:breakers.
Those bombs were an act of a desperate man wanting to be heard.
It was amazing watching Hitomi be all cool and collected.
Hitomi did have a point. All of them were on the wrong side.
Looks like Heike was a double agent after all.
Hitomi vs Ogami, Heike, Yuki and Oji was very impressive!
Toki and the Prime minister situation was interesting as well.
Can't wait to see the next episode!

Episode 13 (final)
Yes! This series is finally over so I don't have to watch it ever again. I have not been a fan.
Anyway the eveil terorist who bombed helpless civilians, and killed people with electricity only to use them as zombies and have them attack a random high school class, was defeated. But it was not enough that we have a scene showing that he had lost his way and leaving him alive would be too dagnerous. No we everyone wants the guy to hang in there, becaus apparently his plan was proof he cared so much. Kind of like bombing the world trade center to prove what horrible horrible sinners America is, kind of in a way that could not bbackfire.
I am not saying that the PM is a good guy, frankilly I wonder how he was voted in for so many consecutive elections. And if the teacher was kid that Hitomi saved, then how is it that Hitomi was only picked for Ogami, and that it was the current PM's decisions. I do think it was right to stop the PM from being killed there is still no right to kill him despite what he says, still punch him a bit, but I was not so sad when he got electricuted.
I had no sympathy for the villain at all, he did the wrong thing, and I did not like the show trying to make me care for him. Okay other parts, why was she bringing that stupid dog with her as she was presumably going to school at the end, shouldn't she have made it stay home, instead we need it so we can feel sorry for her. Actually I don't care about Ogami either, he is pressumably no diffirent from what he was like earlier, though I still believe he is taking down people who deserve it. Of course they had to show the villain looking ugly, can't have a nice looking thug.
I rated the series as "Weak", I did not enjoy this series, the dragon slash fire things were cool, I liked the sonic guys powers, and the prince chick had an awesome power making wings. But I could not help but criticise this show continuosly. And the main character was a bloody Mary Sue!
P.S.: Doesn't feel fair that SAO got such a blasting from some people but I felt mostly alone with this one, ditto with K.

Looks like Ogami's powers have evolved.
He was dealing with Hitomi rather well considering.
It was awesome watching them fight!
Code: End wasn't pleasant to watch.
I felt sorry for Hitomi since he did have good intentions that went bad somewhere along the way.
That prime minster was truly a despicable guy.
In the end everyone scattered back to their areas.
Little puppy was cute ^^
Really good final episode.

I found this to be a similar let down to No. 6. I gave both of them "Not Really Good." Both of them started out decent and progressively became worse. The ending was just shy of "utter garbage."

Yep, I feel the way a lot of you peeps did too. Jesus, how many times over the last four episodes did we hear a character say, Hitomi, stop! or Hitomi, why are you doing this? despite the fact he regurgitated his agenda every 2 seconds? This is definitely one title I would have dropped if I had known at the beginning how idiotic it would get. They are clearly setting the table for a second season with that whole The One Who is Being Sought jazz that they pulled out of their asses at the end.
...
Not sure what it says about me that I'd probably check it out.
