I've to admit that I'm pretty much watching this series just for that gorgeous animation work which probably is the best animated show overall in year 2012. We are in episode 5, but they are still able to keep it up at such a high level. As for the story, well.... the little tid-bits I've paid attention to, they are all jerks!
Two exception would be the samurai guy who travels with a sword, an apron, and assortment of cooking material. And the other exception would be the cute, blood inducing kitty who is the Neko. Just can't get enough of her.
