Story (7) : Like I said I totally LOVED the original plot. Fighting kokochis to save the world from darkness? Check. Akira being pissed at Shirogane? Check. Oh and let's not forget Akira falling in love with Shirogane, even though they pretty much despise each other, and Haruka. WTF?! That ain't in the manga. And they COMPLETELY MISSED RYUUKO AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH SHIROGANE!!! That was my favorite part of the manga and they completely THREW IT OUT THE FUCKING WINDOW. Oh sure, Ryuuko appears at the end, but for those who didn't read the manga, they don't even know why the fuck he's there. The plot was killed once they met Haruka, no, maybe even before that. Maybe the kiss scene? AGH.
Art (7) : Well I don't have too many complaints here. I just put a 7 cuz I just like the manga style better. The chibis are especially funny and the other scenes... well their okay.
Sound (3) : Alright, I may be wrong here, cuz of my suckish headphones, but the sound is so... mechanical, and it sounds like robots.
Character (5) : Now I have a fight to pick here. Haruka. WHO THE FUCK IS HARUKA?! He is a crybaby rich boy who doesn't do ANYTHING except whine and drag the plot down. HE'S NOT EVEN IN THE MANGA. Also, Ryuuko didn't have much time to shine, and you don't even hear his name! >:T Akira hates Shirogane, then in the end kisses him. WTFAREWRONGWITHANIMATIONCOMPANIESTODAY?!
Ahem. Furthermore, there is no develops for the side characters. They're just... there.
Enjoyment (2) : I hated seeing my favorite action and drama packed manga being reduced to shounen-ai monster of the week shit. I am sorry. I just hated this so much. I only completed it to see if it would get better. (and also to see Ryuuko animated ;3)
Overall: 5. 5. 5. 5. 5. 5. 5. That's all there is to it. I give it a 5. And that's being generous!
I apologize for my language in this review, but if your about to watch this, this is children's play. If you have time to waste on this shitty anime, read the manga or find help. Trust me. This just ain't worth 12 hours of your life.
