....slice of life would describe best the first episodes, and not knowing the rest one might call the whole of the series such, easy going, calm, picturesque even. However, as calmly and smoothly the events unfold, as tempestuous the nature of things to follow. Slight hints of what is to come do appear, however none make sens till after the maelstrom is unleashed.

Trough all of this, three sisters, a friend, and fore unlikely companions take down the worlds' first and most powerful nation, the British Empire.

The rhythm never ceases to amaze, now and then alert, sometimes calm(testing the viewers' patience even), but often up beat, it keeps u wanting to see more.

All of these make this series an excellent one...:D (show less)

This one is a pretty old series but it still is very good. Strangely enough the start and the end were the best parts, the middle got me a bit bored. Story start off only from the middle, the first part of the series is introducing the characters (like all series should do).
The story is about how 3 "sisters" (not nuns) are assigned to protect some one and that some one get's into a lot of trouble, but those initial adventures are only the star of an even bigger picture. This is were the series starts showing it's true colors and gets even better (plot wise, action remains the same, with is still good).
All in all i like this series and i think you won't be sorry if you look at it. (show less)

A lot of reviews on here are always 5 star and not very critical. So I decided to review this anime as it was not a 5 star choice of mine.

Had I seen the action scenes from ‘Read or Die’ and that been it, I may have given this series 5 stars. They were creative, well animated and something (theme wise) you don’t come across too often. I can also see how some viewers may find many of the scenes touching, and identify with character in the show.

However, in retrospect, the series drags. I felt slightly too much time is spent trying to build viewer-to-character relationship, and the viewer forgets about the interesting battle they’ve just seen. Also, there is too much going on in this series in my opinion. There is a historical aspect, science fiction, romance (although not so much), fantasy, comedy, adventure, mystery, psychological, action, ect. For example, Early in the series I was laughing out at a certain character situation, and since it was early in the series I expected more laughs throughout. However that was the only scene I found humorous throughout the series….

As a quick summary. The series seems to have been written to make ‘reading books’ seem interesting and cool to a younger audience. I am not discouraging watching the series, however it’s a bit predictable and has a lot going on. (show less)
