I got ep 1 by Shinsen subs, I wonder is someone could tell me what is this series really about? Certainly the first action sequency is cool, and then what? ¿Weird kids (also cowards) on phantom hunting? The drawings are also not conventional. Discuss please.

Eps 2 and 3 are out by shinsen, anybody with opinions?

from having seen the first three episodes, i give it high marks all around. i like the animation style and character design, especially when it gets more "sketchy" during high-intensity scenes; music isn't memorable but unintrusive, and i enjoy the juxtaposition of humor and seriousness -- unlike another new series, black cat, it never seems overdone. as for the story, i'm a sucker for these kinds of things: time travel, dimensional rips, alternate realities, self-realization, possible love story forming from childhood friendship.

I've only watched ep 1. and breif infos on the series ive read give a somehwat interesting story to what its going to be. but like previously said its the unique animation thats bringing me in.

So I heard about the animation and decided to give it a shot(can't just watch 20 different shows at all once these days). And I must say, I reall like it. Dunno about the show yet, but the art is pretty nice.

I wouldn't say that the "sketchy action scenes" are original, but they definitely have a uniqueness to them. It kinda helps offset the "perfect looking" cg.

i agree, it's not necessarily "unique," but they are a nice touch.

I like the animation too, but I really like the plot and characters so far. It's different from most of the stuff I've watched and seen out recently. Though I wouldn't mind a tad bit more explanation as to what the heck is going on.

I watched eps 1-5 and i don't remember any anime giving me this kind of vibe since Rahxephon: many WTF? moments, but really developing well in each chapter, cool action and characters, well, i hope great things about it.

Really nice anime. Story, characters, animation. Currently is out episode 17 by Shinsen-Subs (good work SS btw).

[CodeWordChobits]

does this one finish at 23? or is it really 24 eps like everything says? i have not seen another release for this one in a long time now and it's getting kind of frustrating...
