Note: This is a very mahou-shojo-ish H anime. In fact, this is one of the best H-anime I've seen in terms of the voice acting, the animation, OP/ED etc. combined. But a downside is that the quality was kinda inconsistent at times, especially in ep 2. I watched a eng subbed version. Story: Well basically a mahou shoujo + power rangers villains, where there's an evil faction creating tons of monsters and the mahou shojo saves the day. Cliched lines about saving the world. Check. Mahou shojo standard clothes. Check. Transformation scene. Check. Unfortunately, there's no wand ):. Lol, but there's a sword. The story gets quite interesting from ep 2 onwards,but I didn't like some parts of it. The H scenes, the size of "smth" in ep 2 are a little ==.
Art:
Well I can't say that the colors used were very good, seemed like quite an old film. Well it was made in 2002 to 2003 so I wouldn't blame them. Otherwise, the animation (especially the action scenes) were so good I would say some parts are better than a certain ??? Tail anime.
Art was rather consistent in the whole series, but I didn't like the size of a certain something of a villain (erh hem).
Sound:
OP and ED was great, most background sounds, bgm and voice acting was superb. But, in some scenes, it would have been better to put in some bgm but there wasn't, so it was a bit too mono.
Character:
Seemed like one villain was put into the picture but had no role whatsoever... but the villains as a whole reminded me very much of a certain Japanese show which is similar to Power Rangers and starts with R.
Some characters were a bit "who are they?" for me though. Maybe cos I skipped some scenes.
Enjoyment:
Well it's still ok, I like how there are many adversaries for the main protagonists to overcome during the progress of the show. And the main villain is actually a villain. Lol. But some H scenes were a bit unenjoyable.
Overall:
You should catch this if you like mahou shojo stuff, or action, adventure,romance etc.
P.S.: There is a shift in direction from a bit of mystery about the main characters' past to pure fighting segments and the progress of a relationship in ep 3, so some things were unresolved. But the ending sorta covered for that part :).
