The few excellent episodes are the only thing knocking this score up to a 6. Without them, it would probably be a 4. I don't care about the central story line. The side story episodes are consistently superior. But the real pitfall here is the repetition and the flashbacks over and over again and at a paaaainfully slow pace.
Pass on seeing this. There's too much good anime out there to waste your time here.
