Shining Tears X Wind

The story was pretty good, although somewhat predictable. What anime isn't?? Throughout the story, I was annoyed by 2 things the most; one was that zero doesn't really have ANY point in the story except for as a ridiculous background information to how some characters were part of a group.
second, the sword drawing techniques kept changing from standing, bending over backwards, to having ::cough::orgasms::cough::. Which really made me think the author was still indecisive about plot/animation in general.
Characters were pretty good. Some of them could have used more development.
Also, there is not much to say for the sound, near the end the background music was ... just noisy and questionable for the scene at the same time.
But it is overall an enjoyable anime to watch when you're bored which I obviously was.

I'll start with my conclusion so i can wrap things up in a sentence.

This anime had the potential to be a good or even really good anime,unfortunately everything was destroyed by the author's poor writing of character and action and the small amount of episodes.

Story: It was meant to be good...but somewhere it got lost...that was mostly because of the fast paced changing scenes.For crying out loud..it was ridiculous how characters just APPEARED in a place without a good reason whatsoever,ok i understand that the story had to go that way and the authors had to bring them in that place but they could have ... done it in a more unlamer way.

Art:I liked the art.Studio deen has nice art.

Sound:Nothing special from my point of view..not bad..but not special either.

Character:Too flat...and because of the small amount of episodes,the writers didn't have time to evolve them

Enjoyment:Well..it was...ok..i have to say that the last 2 episodes were the best..ok..i admit..i'm a sucker for happy endings..

Overall: 7/good....i should have gave it a 6..but..since i managed to watch it till the end..that means it was ok..otherwise i would have given up on it..
