The protagonist is entertaining and can be funny at times, however the rest of the cast is pretty generic. The cast is very pretty-boy centric, and the show in general is obviously aimed at female viewers. However there are a handful of not-terrible female characters also, which is nice.
The setting is a bit unusual for a Japanese cartoon, being set in a (I'm guessing) 19th century English boarding school. It actually seems as though a bit of research was put into the setting too, which is nice. I think that they also tried to give the supernatural things a bit of a history, although they lost me on that one.
One of the things that annoyed me a little was the gag episode that was towards the end of the season. I don't have anything against light hearted episodes in general, but this one just wasn't funny. It also ruined the setting for me, having the students partake in a Japanese-style festival. It would maybe be okay as a DVD extra, but it ruined the flow of the series for me.
The music is average, although I always enjoy it when the voice actors sing the opening and ending themes. I can't really judge the voice acting itself, but it seemed okay.
The style of the show is clean and you can clearly tell characters apart, but there's nothing particularly exciting about the art. The (few) battles in the show are quite choppy, and there's definitely a lot of repeated footage going on, especially in the last few episodes.
Whilst this show is technically bland, I still found it enjoyable enough to watch through and I'll probably remember it for a little while. I wouldn't tell you not to watch it, but I wouldn't put it at the top of your list either.
