Wow, I started watching this series on a whim and it seems really cool. I'm glad as hell they dropped the Yuji, your going to vanish, and you suck angle. With the nifty ring and the infinite existance he's got great potential for growth as well as use as a plot device (there's no way he won't get kidnapped eventually). And the synergy with Shana is really refreshing, it's nice to see people fight better together for once.

Good comic relief from Marc and Marjorie, and to a lesser extent the loser kids who hang with MD. Next ep looks pretty funny, and I love how the preview had the ominous music while they talk about swimsuits and show footage of cutesy girls screwing asround in the pool. Good series, I think Aeon is right, this show deserves a forum of its own.


P.S. While flaming hair and wings are totally awesome, shouldn't they exhibit some signs of real fire, and like ...burn...stuff
