Okay, i just finished it and all i can say was that it was freaking awesome.
Through the first few episodes I felt like it wasn't very good, but that was just my impression. I think i got this feeling because of the way the show is written (witch, in the end, makes the show a ton more spectacular). After the all the character development it kicked off. I went from watching like one episode a day, to watching episodes 10 through 24 in two days.
If you like deep character story lines mixed in with some fighting. Then this is the show for you.
