I loved the idea of science and religion battling it out for control of the world - it was a unique idea which I hadn't seen before. The plots were easy to follow, and the characters were interesting. My only gripe is that the side characters were, in many instances, far more interesting than the main character. The main character, Touma, seems to win a lot of his battles with his overpowered ability, his insane luck, and the help of other characters. It did not detract too much from my enjoyment of the anime, however.
