Sukaretto says:
P.S. read at your own risks. major major spoilers coming up.
          what can i say? EPIC CAST IS EPIC. EPIC STORY IS EPIC. like what the actors said in ep00, you should watch it twice to get it, for those who didn't read the manga or watch the anime. there were some differences in the story and characters. the metal brothers were not inlove with Stella, last Samurai was never inlove with P-Ko. Stella never showed Sister her wild side. aside from those, i think it was a great adaptation. can't wait for the movie! more craziness coming up! i hope they ask Galileo Galilei to sing the theme song again. i'm so inlove with Sayonara Frontier. <3

My Ratings: i'll give this 8/10 :)
