I never did finish watching the original show. Did it get good?

It's been a while since I've given it a rewatch, so I'll just paste in what I had to say about it back when it finished airing:

Quote:
I see this show as the contemporary equivalent of something like Sakura Wars, in that managed to avoid the dozens of things that cause me to disengage with the current crop of video game tie-in shows that the anime industry is churning out. It has a lot of rote (some might even say interchangeable) elements, but the creators appeared to treat them with much less apathy than I'm used to.

I saw someone in the ANN series discussion thread for this show say something akin to, "this is a show I won't soon forget", and that's generally my feeling as well. This is a show that could have been so forgettable, but somehow put in just enough effort to make it onto my "buy this on Bluray when it comes out" shortlist.

Unless they get some angel investor, I think the most likely scenario is that we'll get an anime adaptation of the Yume Tsubakuro prequel novels. Which I'm fine with honestly. The writer for the original anime is involved, and Yume is a character I've found endearing despite her really short screen time.
