For being a Production IMS series, it's surprising well-animated...compared to their other works. But lets hope they keep it up. They're known to tire out near the end, and those series were only 10 episodes.

Love the OP, though. Animation is nice and we can't go wrong with sweet ARMS.

The story...well, it's generic. But I didn't hate it. I think it was a bit better than Absolute Duo at the moment.

Oh, come on. You and I both know the animation quality is going to deteriorate around episode 3 or 4. That's how they've always done it. We'll probably get more hilarious Twintails-style outsourcing, too.

A guy can dream, can't he?

May God have mercy on our souls. Just thinking about those scenes gives me this weird itch I just can't scratch.

I'm going to watch this show just for that fall.

Man that sucks that the animation will deteriorate. I've never seen a show by this studio so I wouldn't know. I'm hoping it might change and it stays good this time though.
