I didn't expect anything for the anime, but for what it was, it was a good watch. My dislike would be the CG since I've never been a fan of it(even though I love it in Knights of Sidoni, so that's a first lol). The only thing I will remember about this anime is the fan service and the opening and ending songs, but mainly the opening song. It's so good.

I found the show pretty entertaining while it lasted, but since it covers less than a third of the material out there, it is yet another series that just stops. This even came up in the commentary, which isn't too surprising since it has to be frustrating to leave things like that.

I also have to agree with the review as far as the dub goes. The emphasis on different accents gave the show some extra flair, and David Wald really stood out.

However, it does also play out a little better than might initially be expected, even if it is painfully incomplete.

And no word anywhere as to whether they are going to complete it?

I thought the story was interesting enough to continue, but I can't imagine investing in the media for half a story.

I made the mistake of reading the Manga before the Anime. The humor (especially whenever Yaya went Perv on Raishin) looked completely off in the Anime than what I perceived from the manga. While it wasnt done badly, the timing just kept missed the mark And I cannot help but feel that it could have been done better.

And so the anime that I was eagerly anticipating was dropped in disappointment before halfway through the season. Ah well.

World Break, Unbreakable Machine-Doll, Absolute Duo, Ben-To, A Certain Magical Index II, and Date A Live. Brynn has quite the LN-based anime resume.

Good review. I found this show enjoyable, well...for the most part.

Yes, yes it is. I'd definitely watch more, as I did enjoy the character interactions. But, felt like it ended just as things were starting to get a bit more interesting.

Brynn's going to keep getting those roles in the near future, partly because I think she's pretty good but also partly because she's still a teenager (she only graduated from high school last year) and so doesn't have to stretch to sound the right age.

The real find here, though, is Clifford Chapin (the voice of the male lead). I'll be talking more about him in my upcoming review of Tokyo Ravens, but he's definitely a voice actor on the rise.

I find that playing a teen in dub or sub could seem most convincing when you have an actual teen play the character.
