It's certainly unlike any other anime series currently airing on TV. ^^ Then again, it's actually an adaptation of a very long-running manga series that first started in the 80s, and it's starting from the very beginning, so I suppose it could be called old-fashioned, instead.  I suppose I should note that the ending has more to do with what's going to happen in later episodes than anything in early episodes, though...<br/><br/>The 'private notes' section on Antimony's sheet actually has her progression for the next few levels all mapped out for me.  She'll be gaining her first escalation next level, which should make things interesting.<br/><br/>I forget what Gul's next level was going to be, though.  The last level of Recaster, perhaps?
