the books where good. published by tokyopop, they were (a little) less pervy than the rest(at least, the pervyness was more justifiable). the story was deep, and well written out. but when it came out as a TV series, the anime was blotchy, scenes past to quick, a lot of talk, and a really, really ditsy busty main. i mean, she was ditsy in the book(dated worse...), but it was funny. the TV series was just ditsyness when it wasn't really needed at all. the story was not very well done. there were very few references to the magenta thingies and the past. i enjoyed it enough, but the whole uniform falls apart thing? one kick and everything falls off, save for conveniently placed bits of cloth? we arnt that young anymore. and since this is aimed for an 18+ audience, surely some more grown up approaches would suffice.
