This is actually the only show i'm watching (other than One Piece which i'm waiting to be subbed till 230 so I have 80 eps to watch). It's not great, the characters aren't anything special, story is a bit blah, but I do enjoy it. It's kind of a jack of all trades master of none deal, not great in anything but good or up to par in everything. Compared to half the crap that's out i'd reccomend it.

Woah Noa has become cold, I didn't expect him to just off Kis like that. We need more eps that focus on him and less Roia air time.

Episode 23 by Kyuuketsuki
Thanks to Masa's cold posts on the first page, I never started to watch this series. However, now that I watched 29 episodes in a marathon, I could actually say it was a good thing: I really like this series and so watching so many episodes back to back was awesome.
Contrary to many people here, based on the posts, I actually like Zed's character. And will continue to like as long as they won't pacify and bind him too much. One important point was the wind which was a topic in the first episodes: He was, himself, like a wind. I found it quite amusing how he was totally unable to think about anything but himself. Much of that is still fortunately left, even though Roia has perhaps changed him a bit.
And I don't dislike Roia or Noa either. I did find the earlier episode of Noa quite boring and useless when I watched them, but in retrospect they were extremely important in explaining how he could make the seemingly 180 degrees turn later. Roia I don't dislike for the simple reason that I always want (totally uselessly, I guess, since this is a shounen anime) to have some romance in there, and she would make a good partner for Zed. And I don't even find her character annoying, anyway.
The villains have been really good in Kiba. Hughes must be one of the best villains in all the anime I've ever watched. Such a wicked bastard, yet not doing any stupidly evil things just because he would feel like doing something evil, like lesser baddies always are doing. Dumas was of course simply brilliant. The is, naturally, lots of black/white painting in this series, but I guess I can't have everything.
The story, while quite traditional, is actually well executed in my opinion. You don't even find links between old episodes and new episodes as much as in this in many "better" series.
Well, enough with this. I can see many people strongly dislike this series, but I find this highly entertaining.
Episode 30 - Kyuu
Episode 29 - Kyuu
Edit: Well, this latest episode did remind me of one nasty shounen anime tradition that's of course and unfortunately in this show as well: How the main character never kills nor can understand a friend could become an enemy (or be revealed to have been one all along). Zed's character would actually have been a whole lot more solid if he didn't concern himself so much with such things.
The last episode ended in quite a nasty, if not totally unexpected way, so here's the next one. Let's hope they will learn in the future how to lock their doors...
Episode 31 - Kyuu
I was actually looking forward to this episode, as the last preview indicated Zed could be on the receiving end of some disciplinary measures, required by the iron fist country Noa is serving.
Episode 32 - Kyuu
Edit: Well, nothing much happened, after all. I was hoping Zed would have needed to hit the road. He's getting too rooted to that placid place already. The wind has all but stopped already, which is a pity. It was one of the reasons why I liked this series.

When Kyuu's interest shifts to other projects, Mishicorp seems to be our savior:

Wow, it's already up to episode 37. I really lost touch with this series, going to have to do a lot of downloading to catch up with the story.
Actually, it's already up to ep 40. I suppose this thread could be updated, despite the apparent lack of crowds visiting it:
