This anime has an amazing soundtrack, excellent animation, nice though overly done character designs, and good synergy among the three lead characters.

But... The plot is terribly disjointed and a frankenstein of so many other cartoons/animes out there. The entertaining bouts disintegrated into a show of powers half-way through and took away the magic of the semi-traditional martial arts that were on display. If you find yourself watching it and enjoy the parts that it does right in the first half of season one, then stop at episode eight or nine and imagine a fitting conclusion.
