Very disappointed.My friend got me to watch this series claiming its better than Code Geass. Its rankings (on myanimelist.net) would also back that claim up, along with a couple quick Google search.
However, after watching 5 episodes i was not impressed. This series is very similar to that of Pokemon/Inuyasha. New Episode, new day, new village, same enemy. The conflict/enemy is resolved at the end of the episode and thus our heroes continue their journey towards the destination.
I told my friend this, and he told that episode 8 is epic. So I skipped 6 and 7 only to be disappointed again.
I wrote this review after watching only 6 episode because I feel that this series, like Pokemon, will continue down the path of predictability. There is no suspense or anything that makes me want to watch the next episode because one can correctly assume what will happen next.
This is just another example of the word "epic" being overused.
