I really enjoyed seeing this anime. Personally I would rate it a 10, however there are certain elements that could be better. Also there are some shounen-ai (I overlook it because the plot was good, however I know some people can't watch that kind of thing).

First of all, the story is unique. There aren't many western style churches featured in most anime and the way this one is done is pretty entertaining. The plot moves forward at a good pace (except when Teito is moping around, that was kinda dragged on) and incorporates really nice elements into the story.

Second, the characters are welly rounded ... and have entertaining relations with each other. There are a few cliche characters, however that can be overlooked because of the plot. Also, the villains here are great, they are all types of crazy and have a nice design.

Also, the sound and artwork are done nicely. The character's outfits are a little funny though I've seen worse. There's little animation flaws here and there but no anime is without them.

Lastly, this anime does not cover the entirety of the manga though the story is satisfactory and does not deviate much from the original. I very much dislike that they cut the story off because the rest probably deserves animation. Any way the way it's cut off leaves things somewhat confusing, maybe reading the manga is a better choice (or do what I did and see the anime then read the manga).
