Yes, the anime is nice. In fact, really nice. Kongming is awesome. The story is great and funny. The art, for most part, outstanding. I mean I even said "whoa" out loud and I never do that. Or rarely. I'm talking about the dance from the episode 11. The choreography was bad (or meh), but the moves were smooth and realistic looking. And now fast-forward to the part why I'm writing this.
The music is lousy. That OP is trashy. I know people have different tastes and it should not be a subject for disscusion but cmon... It is catchy, it is entertaining, it is enjoyable, fine, whatever floats your boat. But don't call it amazing! I get it. These 1 summer Ibiza hits are all the rave for young people with fleeting feelings. This "life is short, I must live it to the fullest" and go the extra-mile because they don't know any other way. In fact, the ED was decent. I don't remember it, but I know it was better than the OP :))) Ok, moving on. Next, the bland Eiko. Both visually and singing. Fine, not really bland when you go for blond hair and blue eyes, yet still... bland. I can't think of her any other way. And the songs too. Especially the episode 8. Or was it 9? Next, lets talk about "Dreamer", the song that was supposed to be the "whoa". Man, what a let down. I mean I rather enjoyed the "Underworld" one. That one was really good. Not the bits where the singing voice was trying to put extra-feeling in order to make it sound more powerful. But even so, it was good.
Honestly, this felt like a promoting anime for some up-and-coming idols. I don't know, I won't check. If we could separate/eliminate the singings parts, like I said, the anime is awesome. The art, the story, the voice acting. Up until they tried to put the singing the main dish. Lousy songs, lousy singing. Not even the rapping was good. But I've seen rapping of same level in other anime, so I think thats how it is in Japan.
So, yes. Overall you will enjoy this anime.
