I mean, the main characters appear to be incredibly cliched and uninspired, and the plot itself from what I've watched seems to be really boring mumbo jumbo made far too over complicated for it's good, so after not long I just give up trying to follow it completely(if I haven't already fallen asleep). The dialogue seems pretty bad as well, as the characters try to force out swear words when theres just no need, and even when they don't it still seems pretty dire. So I end up coming to the conclusion that the main attraction to the series must be it's gratuitous violence, which again I find utterly boring and uninspired. Even the animation seems mearly average.All of this makes me think that the show must have a target audience of 14-16 year old's with raging hormones, who just want to see women with ridiculous sized breats wave around ridiculous sized guns.Am I wrong though, is there something I'm missing? I know I sound like someone who just want's to hate on the show, but I genuinely want to like it. I watched the first ep, it did nothing for me, so I sampled one from later in the series, still felt the same, so I even tried the second series and couldn't understand what all the hype was about.The thing that baffles me is that the people who have recommend this to me usually have great taste in what to watch. :? So should I try it again and will it get better or is the show just not for me after all?</blockquote>
