This is modern anime 101. It's telling (about the contemporary anime machine) when the most enjoyable parts of the episodes were the ones that didn't feel as derivative. The premise is nothing new, and the fights and zoomy camera look like something I would have thought was very cool and sleek about... ten years ago. Its cute, now. Still, entertaining enough for me to watch.
