----------------------------

I had just finished the series. And I say, I liked the anime a lot. However I did not get a hold of the manga to read (that was in English anyway) but I want to somehow. Until then, there is the anime.

Has anyone watched/read the series? Did you like it?

I've watched it, and I liked it quite a bit. It had a terrible english dub, but it was one of my first animes, and the plot was actually pretty interesting, even though it consisted of the classic 'evil person wants to take over the world, cocky bastard with annoying hot chick has to stop him' type. I liked it, I wouldn't have started watching anime more regularly otherwise.

I also like this anime. It just kept getting interesting. And a little odd toward the end. My favorite charater in this is Shiina Yuya.

I'd have to agree. The ending was a little odd, but overall it was a good anime. I liked it a lot.
