I just finished watching the first season the other day and I'm not really sure what I think of it.
I mean, the story wasn't at all challenging, the climax came to late and was over too soon and it failed to achieve any sense of epic-ness; the characters were cliche, the romance was contrived and very little character development happened; the music was repetitive, the character designs were run-of-the-mill, the animation was nothing to write home about, and the screen wipe made me vomit in my mouth a little...
But, for all these faults, I couldn't bring myself to dislike it. Oddly enough, I found myself enjoying it a lot more than I really should have. It was just a lot of fun.
So, judging it on its individual parts I'd give it a 5/10. But, for some reason, looking at it as a whole I'd give it as much as 8/10.
It's odd how these things happen...
