well, i've got around to watch the three first episodes.. it's not as bad as the ova, but still the same annoying thing.

at least there wasn't any flamy magic swords or amazing transforming cars that shoot homing missles...

then again, they dumped the 30 second scenes that made the OVA worth half a bit...

I don't half a favorite charecter yet, I can hardly tell the diffrence between them (I can, I just don't care enough to make special notes of anyone)...
are you sure Rumiko was involved in this? the artwork does have some similarities with Inuyasha, but not to a degree that I would have noticed it had i not been looking for it...
and besides, any rumiko anime was much more fun than this one, it's like they took half of the possible cliches and just stuck them in, regardless of whatever.
