My biggest problem with this series is that the characters have almost become caricatures of themselves. Despite the stereotypical drama everyone starts off with, it really does bring you in to care about the characters. As the plot goes on, they start to lose the feel of who they are ever so slightly like a small itch that doesn't go away. Despite this I still gave the series a 9 because I enjoy it so much. Overall it does a good job of investing you into the characters and the action is amazing, along with an interesting plot. Is it anything new? No. But it's justfun.
