Finally got a chance to watch this. Looks like it'll be pretty good, but I wish they'd do something about the fine-print-sales-pitch narration style of the main character. It's fatiguing. After 20 minutes, I feel like I've just listened to someone read the fine print of a contract to me.
Other than that, I like the art style, and the story is pretty good, if a little jumpy. (Are we in the past? Wait, are we back in the present now?) Akaishi is awesome. Especially the laser eyes.
Kudos for being smart. That more than anything is probably why the ratings are low. (Well, maybe the John Moschitta tribute speed talking style could play a role.)
But the general anime-watching horde is more interested in the Fetish of the Week, Exploding Things, or Young People Shouting Their Techniques Repeatedly.
