Gleipnir beated. This started out real good, but had a few missteps later on. Clair was generally the highlight of the show at all times. Basically whenever she was around doing stuff it was great, and when she wasn't onscreen it wasn't as good (there were a few good parts without her, but generally speaking). The middle arc of the show felt like a mistake in some ways. I did like the beginning, with all the confrontations, and the ending with the flowers was great too, but the middle parts where they were trying to work as a team were really slow and boring. It felt like they were stretching a small of manga content really thin. There were a bunch of scenes where fighters just watched other people get attacked and stood there for no reason, which always feels like shitty direction in anime. I was glad they at least managed to conclude the arc in a fun way, and then ep 11 was back to being good again.

But ep 12 was awful. Flashbacks to explain what happened in the past can be really good storytelling devices, but this one sucked, mainly because of Kaito. None of his actions here made any sense, and using this to develop him as the villain was just lame. 13 had some more interesting stuff happen, and then it ended inconclusively. I feel like ending with ep 11 would've been much stronger - rather than introducing a bunch of new characters that mean nothing to the viewer, we would've ended with the main characters developing in interesting ways. Blah.
