Except they fail miserably. The story is an incoherent mess, and the last episode proves it pretty clearly. We're not at GC-levels of insanity in the writing, but it's quite apparent that the show has a lot of issues in the direction. Not only Saya's portrayal, but even BRS's one had to be done differently if they wanted to push the angle they're showing now. Instead we get overblown drama to complement the over the top fights and some comical moments that shouldn't have been comical.
IN the end, Dark Fantasy or not (I personally think it's a stretch), the show is suffering from lack of episodes and terrible writing.
