Note: 7 = Good; 6 = Fair
Since I couldn't convince myself to put this anime under the category of "Good," I had to give it a "Fair" rating; which I think is more accurate.
The Good:
Great production value and art style. The best thing about this anime is the last 4 episodes, which I would rate at 9/10 by themselves.
The Bad:
Unfortunately, the rest of the series is a bit of a bore. The social interactions are cliche, the humor misses the mark, the characters are generic, and the plot is not engaging. Even though every episode ended in a cliffhanger, I never wanted to see more than 1 episode at a time.
Conclusion:
Bad points aside, this anime really is refreshing. It's not set in Japan, and it's not infested with ecchi. One of the reasons I stuck with this one is because it had such a unique feel. That, however, could not mask the bad progression of the story.
