RATING: C

This series has the wildest use of color I've *ever* seen. Although it's not as aesthetically pleasing as Comic Party or Tristia, it's frightfully refreshing to see such an unconventional approach.

Anyway, this episode was quite fast-paced -- as BluWacky mentioned, we were (1) introduced to the main villains, (2) had a sprite break out some wicked magic, and (3) saw our hero join her former associates, all within the span of nine minutes. Although this episode didn't have that much humor, it flew by quite fast, making for a rather enjoyable watch.

To be honest, I'm quite surprised at the level of plot intensity within the current crop of mini-titles (see Kabitzin's review of Dogato-kun 4). It's ironic, but some full-length titles (*cough* BakuTenshi) could definitely take a leaf from their less-funded counterparts.
