Oh wow! I am truly liking this story. It's true that it's very early in the game to review but I think it's getting better and better as I keep on reading this.
Story: 9 - The story seems simple but boy it is fun. One thousand years ago, Dunstan cursed the world by creating two doll like robots. One represents the ultimate good (Ultimo) and the other, the ultimate evil (Vice). Dunstan created them to see which of the two will win. In addition, we also leaned that he made more models to fill in the gaps of good and evil. Now, it's the 21st
...
Century where the world is watching the two 'kids' fighting in the sky. I put a nine for two things. One for space...who knows if it will end up going down or whether it will go up. 10 is perfection and any story can improve. After all, the 'epicness' of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann was at the second half even though already TTGL was epic then.Two was the fact that it can be kinda similar to all these other stories where humans partner up with some supernatural being (Gash Bell, Shaman King, Rozen Maiden...) and we just have to see whether it will be kinda repetitive from the idea or will be the best of its kind. However, I think Hiroyuki Takei will be great to deliver this type since he is the author of Shaman King.
Art: 8 - I don't have any beef with the art really. Hiroyuki Takei is still recognizable and I haven't seen a change whatsoever from Shaman King. I dunno...maybe I was expecting something new in his style which I have not seen yet. It is very good but it's nothing too much to really give a jawdrop.
Characters: 9 - I do love these characters a lot...which is just the characters that I know of...but we've just met them so there will be cases of character development which we gotta check out. Will they be stick figures or will they have a lot of layers? Let's see what the Takei/Lee due come up with. However, I do like these character a lot because even in it's early chapters, the presence of the KDs (Karakuri Doujis) does question what is good and what is evil.
Enjoyment: 10 - I'm already getting into this story a lot. I'm already thinking of possibilities of what's going to happen and I'm already waiting for the next chapter. (I've even started thinking of Asian Ball Jointed Dolls modeled after KDs.) I'm having fun and I hope you will too.
Overall: I give it a 9 since it's fun, entertaining, and I'm considering all of the other categories at once. (It's even mathematically correct. ^^)
