Review of She, The Ultimate Weapon

I had read so many raving reviews, both in magazines and on the internet, about this anime series, so when I found the boxset on sale, I was so excited. Boy, what a waste of money! The story seemed really interesting, and I had high hopes for it, however I think it was poorly executed and leaves the audience wondering when the real story is going to begin. The characters lacked depth, and they were boring to watch. I literally had to force myself to finish this anime, in the hopes that at some point it would redeem itself, no such luck. The idea itself wasgreat, but they didn't meet the level needed to make the show fantastic.

As others have mentioned, it leads you to believe that it is going to be a touching romance, but instead it is just downright depressing and a task to watch.
