It deserves somewhere around 50-60. I have seen at least 75% of all anime ever made and read their respective mangas. This series, while not complete crap by itself, is a complete mockery of the actual manga.I saw all ten episodes once and will never see it again. However, i must give credit where credit is due. The music was good, the art could have been worse, and the voices, which could have easily been better, are at least bearable unlike the crap story. The one people who seem to like it are the ones who haven't read manga and somewhat new to anime. My rating: 58/100 for those who have read the manga and 66/100 for those who haven't.

Heat actually joined the gang in episode 8/9, which was originally in volume 2... I mean, hell, they did an amazing job at adapting the chapters in a way that this mixing-up remains fairly undiscovered, but the question remains why they couldn't just stick to the timeline -_- Judging from episode 10 though, there will definily be a second season - why else should they introduce a major character in the last episode, without explaining him any further? (Hell, why will it take so long for volume 9 to come out...) The reason why everything seemed so nonsensical was that they mixed up the manga timeline COMPLETLY.

I think they left the cliffhanger there at the end for a reason. :P I’m thinking a second season is going to come out someday. I think they left the cliffhanger there at the end for a reason. :P

I just saw the first half of anime and your review makes me want to read the manga. ^^ Quote: "Heck, we never know why the third main character ends up travelling with the other two characters in the first place" LOL, I was totally confused when the third guy suddenly popped up(I did not even know he existed). I totally agree with you on that part. Interesting review. I just saw the first half of anime and your review makes me want to read the manga. ^^

At least I think it deserves more points if compared to something like Zombie-loan.

One wonders why they tried to make the series in the first place, if they knew from the start it would be only 10 episodes long and as a result the plot will be rather non-sensical. Briliant dialogues and voiceacting, though, I am not sorry I watched the series at all. The last episode was catasrophically bad, true.

I cannot agree more with your analysis. Hatenkou Yugi is the classic example of "I wish it fulfilled its initial promise". A pity it didn't. Word. I cannot agree more with your analysis.
