The story is absolutely ridiculous and full of plot holes. The entire PREMISE of the show makes no sense (can’t she just digest the Crystal Pearl and get rid of it that way?) and it gets even wilder from there. The animation is shitty even for a mid-2000s kids anime, and the characters too. We’ve got the immature middle school girl protagonist, the two boy best friends (the ‘edgy’ one with anime boy hair and a rude personality, and the calmer one with a dark backstory + earring), and a slew of villain pairs who get more and more bland as the show goes on. I’m pretty sure the soundtrack (excluding the OP and ED, which too are generic J-Pop tunes) is just stock music the studio found, because I can’t find it anywhere on the internet.
But something about this show has always stuck with me. I don't know if it's the shock of how it got made, nostalgia, or something else, but I keep coming back to it! Would I actually recommend this show? No. But if you want a really good show to laugh at with your friends, maybe check it out.
