This show has all of the obligatory elements, but they never seem to really work together. I will always love it because it contains (Episode 8) my favorite heroine-about-to-kick-ass-line: "Let me make it clear to you: I'm not very bright!" (Picture Monroe in "Some Like it Hot.") Other than cute characters you can feel good rooting for, this was kind of pointless, and the world-building seemed like a distraction or afterthought. Fan service, girl-crushes, cutesy fighters, tragic romance...for no other purpose than having them.
