I watched the first episode some time ago and I was not impressed. It shows its age with the dated music, clothing, gender stereotypes, etc. The story didn't seem to have a lot of substance. I started watching it again, picking up from where I left off, and once you get past the dated aspects of it, the story is pretty complicated and our heroines find themselves in some dark, and sinister situations. I'm on episode 13 at the time of this review. I'll update it again at episode 25. Right now though, I'm giving it an 8. The characters are consistent in their attitudesand actions, and I've come to like them all. I'm very interested in finding out what's going on behind their father's disappearance and what's to become of Hitomi and Toshio's relationship.
