Well, yeah, it was a bit different from what I, at least, am used to. But that doesn’t mean it’s bad. I think the difference suited it rather well.
And, the thing with Virgil was a bit weird, to me. I don’t really understand why they kept him alive so long. But as for why they killed Cherenkov, I think they did that because they had a limited number of episodes, and couldn’t put his story in without taking away a lot of time from the main story. Focus was the key, I think.
Anyway, it’s still unlicensed, so why not head on down to animesuki, and, hoping the Ani-Kraze version will be up by then, download it first, and then decide for yourself whether or not to buy it. Myself? I’ll buy the first DVD, at least, to compare it to the fansub. If it holds up, and is of decent quality, I’ll buy the rest of the series. I, at least, think it’s worth that.
