A rocky start, but the characters really pulled me in!

Slow start, mid-season dips, but a strong finale with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more.

An okay time-sink, but nothing special otherwise. IMO, a solid story is buried under quite a few poor design decisions.
A rather disappointing 1 to 1 adaptation of the web comic...
