Okay, I will forgive them for replacing Code Geass with this series because it is awesome!! *nod* Hei is yum and Kiuchi sounds extra yum as him. Mew approves.

Series is quite interesting. Definitely sticking with this one.

I think this is one of the anime showing at Fanime! I checked the ANN entry and it sounds good. Can't wait to see it.

Pretty good, not blown yet since it's a pretty slow warm-up... so I'm sure it'll get better once it hits around ep6-7.

Characters are pretty original and it's rare to see Chinese protagonists in a Japanese setting. In is cute, and Nana Mizuki does a great job as Misaki.

Music is solid, but that's a no-brainer since it's composed by kanno. Jazz BGMs are always a plus in my book. OP/ED is pretty sub par, should've been covered by kanno as well.

Pretty good start for Bones, as their last series Ayakashi Ayashi sucked, and it was unfortunate, it had so much potential.

I'm enjoying this show thus far. I'm also surprised to see a Chinese main character. The antagonism between the two countries seems to come out a lot in anime. Gigantic Formula is an example in the opposite direction - the first opponent in the robot tournament, which gets defeated by Japan, is the Chinese robot.

In any case, I'm enjoying the Kanno music - the OP is fine with me - and the 720p animation is good times, too. Plot has potential, though it's not there yet. Feels a little bit WHR to me, though less gothic.

Well as long as the OP or ED isnt by ali project it's good in my book lol. (no offense to the fans)
