I finished watching the whole series after two seatings (I did eat and take a bath afterall).
As expected, it is very nice. The character drawings are far better than in the original FMP. (I never found Kaname attractive in the original). That is, even if some episodes have a story, which is just too unrealistic in the context of that anime.
Anyhow, it is entertaining, a good way to spend slack time.
I'm going to watch The Second Raid tomorrow. hehe
