I really like this series, everyone thinks that because it's not anime, and its been made in America that it isn't that good, but the fact is that this series blurs the lines between anime and cartoon, though i really wish that this series didn't have to stop at book 3 or even book 4. I love the character development in this series and the action scenes. Probably thine only things i don't like about it are: a) has a limit to the series - has a set limit to number of episodes, but they can prove me wrong if they like. b) it's made by nick and apparently everyone thinks that kids are losing interest in cartoons and are moving towards anime series, if this series was made by a good anime series maker that knew how to include good character development and also good fight scenes, and an even better storyline i would be very happy with this series.
