    Good or Bad? Neither really

    Having just read a couple of the comics that this is based on, I was quite looking forward to this. I don't know why it didn't work for me though! The animations alright, at times very good, the chracters are mostly interesting and the plot OK. Maybe it was the writing, which can be quite overwrought at times dealing with life and death but in a typical goth teenage way. Mostly the pacing always seems a little off. For a 20 minute show, it often drags its heels taking forever to find whats going on.

    I'd encourage people to watch it for fans of the genre, as maybe on a second viewing I could be all wrong? There is definitely a good show in there somewhere, but I just can't like it!
