elfsSomeone recommended Shining Tears X Wind to me on the grounds that it would be perfect for me: "Bishii, Babes, and Furries." And sure enough, it's got all of the above: two cute guys who aren't aware they should be off somewhere else making out, two hot and busty high school senior chixxors who exist only to be demure damsels in distress, and so far at least one hyperactive catgirl.
It's too bad the best adjective I can come up with for this show is dorky. Because that's what it is. Disjunct, pointless writing, horrible art (the frame rate during the fight scenes is so bad it reminded me of 1980s American cartoons like Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors), characters that manifest new talents and bizarre behaviors totally out of character at the silliest moments, and poorly integrated and inappropriate CGI.
This show has a completely lack of respect for its audience: it's too mature for kids, and too stupid for adults.
