I was a tad disappointed by this anime...The problem is that I really don't know whats wrong with it, I just couldnt really get into it. I didn't think it was "torment" like the last reviewer, but it was just 'okay'. and the singer of the end theme sounds like he's stoned or drunk or somethin Last updated Saturday, February 12 2005.

Well after viewing the first three DVDs released by Bandai my first impression is OUCH !! And I suspect that I cannot even criticize Bandai for a poor dub script given the poor quality of the original anime. I will be honest in admitting that the only reason that I did not give this an avoid rating - is that the SHAFT device is moderately interesting, the storyline is does work, (kind of), and there are occasional moments in which the series actually appears to hold some promise, (errh .. but then again, I may be stretching the truth a bit.) Not to spoil the plot for you, but this is strictly a case of anime by formula. Now how many formulaic situations and overused clichés have ever bothered you? One guy and a harem (yes, its here), good guys don't get along and yell a lot (of course), a secretive government with a hidden agenda (yep), rebels trying to overthrow the government (yep), a big dark unknown all powerful evil power (yep), the government and bad guys both chase the good guys (Yep, but Tenchi was better), pets always help the storyline (Ok, there is a dog who can email) and there is even the plot twist of a good guy who is worse than the bad guy ring-things (are you surprised?) ..and on ..and on ... Well, let me find at least a few good things to say about this . Hummm . Wellllllll Yessssss The main character is cute and she gets to ride this really weird robotic spider device, which when it works has really freeky powers. And the bad guys are these really weird ring things that range in size from a few feet to about a few Kilometers, that do some cool evil bad guy things. . Well, let's hope that someone else is brave enough to buy this series and offer a competing review. And if not, I can always sell my copies on EBAY (but, only after I get to torment my friends by loaning them this series.) Last updated Monday, October 13 2008.
