Cool...but the whining hero kills me. This anime boasts winning artwork and a captivating premise. There isn't much in the way of slapstick-y manga if you don't like that, or upskirt animation if you're secretly here looking for some hentai. That said, I personally couldn't stand the wimpy protagonist and his constant whining...in the end, I couldn't get over the distraction of that epic loser...i'd be tempted to end his life if I could....I have to be satisfied with giving a lackluster rating. Maybe his sack drops and he mans up for season two...but I couldn't take the risk.

The show itself is awesome and if you want more then check out the novels. It should be noted that this is dubbed only. If I could refund it I would. The dubbing isnt terrible but for $60 for the entire series and only one language....come on.
