The storyline for C³ starts off at a very nice pace. However, the plot then begins to drag. There was stuff that could have easily been cut from the storyline. For example, quite a few characters ramble on about their personal belief system, both on the good and bad sides. I think the viewer got the message the first time around. There was also stuff that could ave been added to the storyline, stuff that would have added actual character depth to the various characters.
The art work is at first glance looks beautiful, because of all the colors used with in the actual art designs. The bright colors don't help to camouflage the faults in the animation. There were a few scenes that looked off in the proportions and perspectives. There were also times that an experiment would be thrown in, that wasn't consistent with the rest of the animation that had been going on, either because they became lazy, or because they decided to do something cool, rather then for real experimental reasons. There were also action scenes that just felt wrong.
As for the sound, I loved the opening and closing. The regular sound track though PALED in comparison to these opening and closing songs, to the point it felt like it was no existent.
Character wise, every single character was interesting concept wise. However, the Anime didn't really add any depth to any of the characters. No, I have to take that back. The Anime did a good job of giving character depth to Amanda Carlot, also known as Mummy Maker. She was the only character I could feel anything. That may have something to do with the fact that everyone else was constantly angsting about stuff, or they were throwing tantrums, or they were indifferent.
As for my enjoyment, I had parts I enjoyed. I felt that there were things that took away from it, some of which I listed above. I thought the whole concept of Haruaki being a pervert was over dramatized. A lot of the misunderstandings didn't feel like misunderstandings, but more like the creator of the Anime was trying to force them to be misunderstandings.
Overall, this Anime is going to be hard for people to give an actual chance on. I mean, it has its enjoyable moments, and the characters are interesting. It is the kind of show that if the viewer isn't careful, it can grate on ones nerves.
