The anime, not so good...
Yeah, it doesn't help that I'm watching the dub... but even the elements that were initially in the japanese anime are terrible in this series. I love the manga, but I just now watched the anime, and I gotta say I'm seriously dissapointed. Terrible production values, crappy music; I think flash artists have more skill than the folks behind this. Maybe I just need to watch more episodes, but I gotta say my feelings right now towards the anime are at a very low disposition.
