The show feels like code geass had sex with gundam seed, and the resulting child hung out with evangelion and to aru majutsu no index in Middle school.
I'm fine with the fact that it's a code geass clone, but the main- he's like another freaking shinji ikari. Like, seriously. Some more subtle similarities: There's a crippled kallen, a swig out of bakuretsu tenshi's cyber-loli after a few years, and then a bad play on renton/euruka/holland A La eureka seven with shinji as renton, lacusclyneXreiayanami's odd fusion as eureka, and gai as holland.
The whole thing reeks of WTF storyline, but the rest of the series could (dear god please) turn out better. I take solace in the fact that the audio is wonderful. Apart from that, I'm hoping that this series gets it's rudders up because the whole damn thing is nose diving from take off.
Art's okay. Doesn't suck, but nothing ground breaking over here.
There's potential, but like hell is it realizing any of that right now. I pray that the next however many episodes that it runs for don't suck. I feel like I just watched micheal phelps slip off the diving board.
Ah, before I forget. The opening sequence starts off with some horrible engrish. It bothers me so much that I rip off my headphones everytime I hear that one line in the song. It's the only thing stopping me from bumping the sound score up a notch.
