The Angel Landed On Earth:
This first episode establishes the two main characters as well as hints at the various premises of the show. It gave just enough information to tweak my interest but not so much as to let me know the ending ahead of time. Yorn is shown as a young but headstrong lad who is content with life but finds that all isn't as it appears.

White Flower Of Coacassa:
Yorn is getting his behind kicked when an Elfin girl, Elisiss appears out of the treeline. We get to see his new friend, Elisiss, transform into the powerful Sieda in order to defend our young hero as well watch her transform a crummy sword into a powerful blade.

Puppeteer:
Seeing as how their energy readings went off the scale when Yorn was attacked by their assassins previously, the bad guys decide to send not one, but two "puppets" who are androids with a nearly perfect record of killing anything in their path. Once again, the team relies on Sieda to save them but the outcome makes the enemy even more desperate.

White Devil:
A town along their path is having major problems with a large white leopard who is killing the townsfolk and eating their livestock. Elisiss knows more than she lets on and we find the true origin of the animal as the show progresses.

Yulgaha's Night And Fog:
This episode focuses on two girls in the long lost past. One of them is the lead assassin, Hera, shown before she lost her humanity, and the other is one of Eden's technicians, Yulgaha, who has been in each episode to date. Both went their separate ways and it helped give more background to the show. It also showed a lot more depth than the earlier episodes and made me think the show may get really good.

Picture: The picture was presented it's original 1.33:1 ratio full frame and was very clear. The colors were accurate and any minor problems with the picture were barely noticeable. I didn't see many compression artifacts.

Sound: The sound was presented in Dolby Digital stereo with a choice of 5.1 English, English with song subtitles, or the original Japanese with English subtitles. The vocals and music were very clear and solidly produced. I actually liked the English track as much as the Japanese track but each had it's own flavor. There was some real separation in the channels but the English track seemed to be more advanced (and the show was originally shot in 2.0 so you know it's just post production audio tricks that are doing it).

Extras: trailers, clean opening and closing sequence, and a paper insert with art

Final Thoughts: I think this show has a lot of potential but I'm hesitant to rate it as anything higher than Recommended at this time. There were enough obvious cliché's to lower its value and enough information was missing about the basic premise to make one have to guess about too much. This is a double edged sword as too much information too soon would make it boring yet too little information makes it obscure. Look at it as a show with lots of potential and I hope to be able to keep you updated with future volumes.
