Story: While the concept of a guy guarding a young girl is nothing new, the way in wich the story is presented and developed is rather original. While at first it apears to be a street/underground fighter anime, it is really about the characters personal growth.
Art: The art is one of the first things one can notice in this anime, the image is very sharp with a somewhat dark tone wich give it a realistic look and a fluid animation
Sound: Ther is no much music apart from the sassy opening and the energetic ending.
Characters: Characther develoment is the main theme of the anime, all the characthers have a sad/traumatic past or chaotic background of their own and are striving to improve themselves and (specially in Murasaki's case) understand and the world that surrounds them.
Enjoyment: Although some maturity and taste for true romanticism are required to truly apreciate some of the plot points of the anime, it is virtually imposible not to enjoy it's unique charactheristics and fast-pacing mainttain the viewer fosused if not captvated untill the very end.
