Would be a 6 for sheer daring if it ended at episode 11. =(
An action flick that ends with the heroes all dead and the big bad laughing his way to victory would be interestingly different.

Batshit insane! In a good way, but also kind of bad way.

Funny and sweet relationship exploration. I wish other romance stories could be more like this (instead of the usual angst)

Good characters and action alone net a 6 or 7.
Adding...
SF setting +++Achievable SF in reality
Well done mystery-like plot
Philosophical themes (Representation = Reality?)
Inspiring story
gives the best anime I have watched so far.

Purposeful (and believable!) action instead of crazy shenanigans. Like Haruhi only realistic and inspirational.

Would score a 4, but it was my first series.

Describing the growing up experiences of a not-quite-adult done as well as I have seen.

This taught me to appreciate random cruelty towards small things.

Started 5, became a 4

Very nice philosophy and abstract questions. Not sure about the time travel though.

Semi-realistic (do people get into that many falling buildings?!) and powerful depiction of their struggles.
Awesomely good characterization. Best I've seen so far.

I walked out of the room when the anime society was screening this.

I don't see why people would find characters acting too dumb to live funny. Negishi is the most pathetic character I have ever seen and he earns the dubious title of deserving to be shot within two episodes.

I like the magitech setting. Alot.

Makes it all the harder when the characters act like idiots.
