I loved the series, although the second half felt a bit cliche. Of the early episodes, there were a few really lame villains, but also some interesting ones. What kept the series strong despite a cliched main story (at times), and the occasional bad filler was that it always focused on the human element and characters. In particular, I adored the El Dora Five for representing the heart of this series. Cliche? Yes. But they were so cool, I couldn't care less. I'd have happily watched a 26 episode series where they were the main protagonists, especially if it was set in the past when Chizuru and her Pink amigo were still alive. Those old men are far more interesting than Van (at least for me).
