UxU on the other hand has great plot that managed to suprise me more than once and has 2 great main leads and side characters that shine with credibility.
Well I guess I am surprised. I honestly didn't expect people to like the plot, but I guess logic & common sense is overrated. Also didn't expect the people to like the main leads. Sure he is direct, but he's pretty much a bastard(and no It's not just him hitting a girl). Don't get me started on the teacher. >_> UxU isn't really an exception in the horrible female character department. Everyone is way to overemotional. No one cares about the people around them. Love isn't the end of the world. >_>

If by flow you mean angst based on situations that have no way of happening for real sure.

That said of course I know opinion differ, just surprised people like this type of series that much. This series is probably a lot more popular(on this forum) than let's say Ashita no Ousama which is better in every department(except art). Though I guess this series is pretty good at creating angst & drama. Still I find it hard to call something good based on that. I find there's nothing wrong with liking the series, but liking it for the story just seems odd for me.
