This is one of the animes I've been following since the start of the spring season. It has offered some genuine surprises in terms of story development I must say. It starts with the following setting: In a world with only two countries that are at war with each other, two young people learn of a treasure that can end the war for good and set out to find it. So I really thought that this would the the plot all the way through the anime, but boy was I wrong.
Already in the 4th episode, the treasure is recovered and the war ends (with no aftermath by the way) and the two protagonists do away with the a generic bad guy in about 4 seconds.
This brings me to the real issue I have with this anime. Sometimes I can't help but feel that I'm watching a children's show. So many illogical things happen, and so many things are left unexplained that it's ridiculous. There are several aspects of the show that lend to this feeling of watching an anime that is aimed at an audience who doesn't question even the most gaping plot holes or get an iffy feeling from the overly stereotyped way the bad guys act.
Other times, I find the anime genuintely enjoyable and fun to watch, which is why I haven't dropped it yet. I have a feeling that it's because I like Allison alot. There's something about her character that's very pleasant and that I personally feel is reason enough to endure all the less enjoyable aspects of the anime and just keep watching.
