pros
+ great characters
+ ecchi doesn't override the story
+ well thought-out but easy-to-follow story
cons
- sometimes ridiculous dialogue
- animation doesn't quite go beyond decent
- incomplete
conclusion: well worth your time if you want a highschool/martial arts based anime with a decent storyline. works with well thought-out characters; the storyline is easy to follow, well thought-out, and doesn't open too many plot holes; and when there's ecchi, it doesn't take over the story... for the most part. on the downside, the dialogue, as well as it usually works, is quite ridiculous at times, and the animation doesn't go beyond fine. also, the story is incomplete, and goes much further in the manga. the anime is good for what it is, but i'd strongly recommend taking up the manga if you like the anime at all.
