OK, I'm sold. As long as it doesn't take a nosedive soon, this looks like it's going to be a really solid show: clever humor, decent action, a hint of drama, good production values, great voice acting, and a compelling setup. And the character designs don't bother me anymore - in fact, I think I'm starting to appreciate their originality.

The costume designs will still take a little bit of getting used to, though. Not because they're so fanservice-oriented, but rather because they're just weird. I'd ponder how exactly the clothing works, but it's probably best if I don't think about it too much...
