I know my rating for this show is high, especially compared to Eden of the East or Ergo Proxy and any of the other sci fi shows I've seen. For me it came down to the characters and how they interacted with each other. They made the show for me and enjoyment is always the most important part of any for of entertainment. The outfits are ridiculous, the story is almost non existent and there are many higher quality shows out there. If you give it a chance, however, this show may surprise you. Just don't expect it to change the way you feel aboutsci fi.
