WHR - It's not that bad... but not that good...

The story starts off VERY slow. You will need to get about midway into the series before it starts to really wake up and become something interesting. I wouldn't suggest this to someone who wants to jump right into a plot or someone who wasn't into a lot of serious dialogue-heavy type shows.

The story reminds me of Ghost in the Shell, but with a semi-religious feel. Not much in the way of humor or action packed scenes.

It was certainly an interesting take on the creation of witchcraft. It sort of fell short for me at the end. I would have liked a better ending to be honest and would have liked to get into the plot a bit sooner than halfway. It really did have some potential of being more than it turned out to be.

My biggest issue was the dialogue. The dialogue was very heavy, which isn't necessarily bad... But many of the conversations consisted of one person talking and then the other person repeating the same thing, but as a question instead. There was a lot of stuff that I guess would have to be read between the lines. This style of repeating dialogue really brought the show down a notch for me.
