This is an interesting series. It's both very bad, and still there is reasons why it's worth watching.
The art is very beautiful and the battles well choreographed. The characters have nice variety of different looks, but their natures are quite stereotypical - only there is reason for that.

First few episodes grabbed my interest enough, that I continued watching. Around episodes 8-10 the story development was very slow and I continued only because it was nice to look at and I wanted to know how it ends.

Well, the two last episodes revealed a lot, and many things weren't as they looked. Practically everything got turned ... around. Not a happy ending, but ending that made me raise my overall rating from 5 to 6.

Quite hilarious, if bit old fashioned comedy. It made me laugh out loud several times. And heroine was interesting.
References to old classic anime were many and just made it more enjoyable, as they were well done.

This was the first boylove story I really read, and also the one that got me hooked. The story is really quite simple, but that's also the charm.
It was very lifelike and true.

In short, highly recommended, serious and entertaining manga.

This is very strong and well-written story with characters whom I find quite unique. From the first episode I have greatly admired Balsa, a woman with determination and skills. And unlike most women in anime, she is not 16, nor teacher.
Even if the story is simple by itself, the anime tells it well and every episode (I've seen till 19) is interesting and the story progresses well. No fillers, no unnecessary stuff, but still no feeling of haste, rather the pace is telling is really well thought. Every episode reveals new facts to the plot, develops the characters and their relationships.
Not only Balsa, ... but also other characters are interesting, and add well to the tale. There is not really bad and good guys, just people with different opinions or different knowledge on matters, they are acting from different, understandable reasons. So it's easy to see why someone is doing something.
The elements of fantasy and history are woven well together, the voice acting, music and animation are all enjoyable. Also the balance between action and talking works well for me.This is one of the best anime series I've watched.
