Story 9/10: Although I needed to quench my insatiable desire to continue the anime, I was left wanting more! I don't blame the producers because sometimes the mass controls the demand. The story is, however, epic! I love how ubiquitous the theme is, yet, it shines in it's own accord.
Art: 9/9: The art is classic! I still find it more interesting than some of the newer animes out there, and this is coming from an the 1990s!
Sound: 10/10: The opening song is wonderful. It has that "hook" effect. Melfina's song gives me chicken skin! The voices of the characters are wonderful, in both Japanese and English (although I prefer Japanese!)
Character 10/10: The characters developed throughout the episodes, and I like that about this anime. Gene isn't the Gene in the first episode because he matures. Each characters struggles with their own goals. They're not black and white characters.
Enjoyment: 10/10: I enjoyed this anime before and now! I will definitely watch it again :D
Overall: 10/10: Classic! Nuff said!
