pros
+ unique with its own charm
+ deep and unique characters
+ humour flows well with the story
cons
- anti-climactic end
- didn't realise its full potential, e.g. lacks a proper foundation
- substories have that "monster of the week" feel

conclusion: may remind fans a little much of cowboy bebop here or there, but it's an own anime and a decent one at that. the plot is okay, with good length and pacing, but takes a while to get going and seems somewhat disconnected (lacks proper explanations, e.g.; and the sub-arcs kind of have that "monster of the week" feel to them -.-). lovable characters and quirks though, and has its own charm if you really get into it. humour flows well with the story, and the darkness/mystery feel is sure not to disappoint. it's not quite one that follows its manga all that well, but it's a decent one to watch especially for mystery lovers.

peace.
