My brother and I watched this together because he really liked the original show and wanted to check this out. The beginning of this show didn't start out very well. It was slow and none of the characters were very likeable at first. However, starting at episode 14, the story started to get much better and the characters started to really improve. We both thought it got really interesting. Unfortunately, you need to watch through the beginning episodes to understand what's going on and make the character development meaningful. It is also kind of childish at times and you can tell that it is madefor kids, but it still has an interesting story that they do some cool stuff with. Overall, I really enjoyed it despite the slow beginning, but it isn't for everyone. If you like big, over-the-top anime or tv shows, you might like this, but if not you probably wouldn't like it.
