Is this show any good? I'm probably going to pick it up, but haven't seen it. What can it be compared to?

I'd say it was one of the few series of that season that had a fairly good story.
It's pretty funny and has a lot of action.
It's not a great show but I liked it well enough to buy it.

Starts off decently with a somewhat interesting lead character and premise. Puts in a little bit of time introducing the main cast of characters instead of just throwing them all in at once like most anime tend to do. The beginning is ok to say the least.

However the show couldn't decide immediately whether it wanted to have an actual story and plot, or if it just wanted to be an in-your-face fan-service show. It ended up choosing to become the latter and just became as was mentioned a trainwreck.

The last two episodes were a bit sloppy, but other than that I really enjoyed it. It was fun and the characters were enjoyable. That's about all you could ask of it. I will definitely be picking this up.

A fun show. I'm not expecting a masterpiece every release. You cant count me in for this one.

I really enjoyed it, until plot elements started just getting thrown in at the end without much to do with anything.

Looking through both Rightstuf and Animecornerstore I can not find any info on the specials being included for this release, though if they do include them if Sentai will dub them like they did with the Needless specials.
