Aw shit, I really had my hopes up this time. The first episode alone was the best introduction to a series I've seen since a very long time, but with every new episode, the story became less focused and more cluttered with characters.
The battle near the end was incredibly confusing. I was unable to follow why these newly introduced characters were doing what they were doing, as they were newly introduced characters.

I still don't know the deal with the red-haired girl, either. The whole part where the main character gave her the hairpin proved pretty pointless and the anime failed to explain to me why she was the clone of two different people. Maybe I was too bored to pay attention, but I'll also admit that the English subtitles didn't always make sense to me.

Many things in the anime proved pointless, though. Most of the screen time was devoted to the annoying red-head and the robot guard, even though the blue-haired chick should've been of bigger importance. She and the boy were somewhat romantically involved and their scenes were way more enjoyable, yet she was hardly in the series. Why was the moronic red-head "the key" at the end, but not the blue-haired girl? Why couldn't the series just be about the two characters it started off with? There was no need for it to become this semi-harem anime story.
By the time the girl makes a proper return, these two get pushed into marriage, while they hardly hung out before this event. Why? Don't know. The plot was very dumb and rushed.

What was also dumb was all the misplaced perversion in this series. Most of it consisted out of female crotch shots, of which some moments were censored and others weren't for some reason, but there's also one part where a character is messing around with a sea cucumber that looks and "acts" in every way like a dick. And another scene had one of the female characters caught in tentacle porn, basically. It was weird. Nowhere else in the series did things become that graphic, so why was valuable running time wasted on this?

The violence was also pretty inconsistent. Near the beginning the main character tortures a bunch of rebel students and it's real damn awesome, but everything else in the anime is so tame in comparison.. It's like this torture scene belongs to a different show, much like the sea cucumber scene.

If you want to have a good time, watch the first 5 episodes. Don't bother with the rest, it'll only get worse.
