Personal Ratings: 2.5
Another anime made from a PSP game. Probably the same producers as Persona. 
This anime is quite nice. Really like the unique idea about using the phone apps, especially since now a days we have all types of apps in your phone. The storyline and fighting scenes are  nice. I actually like some of the character's personality. Its really fun and unique all together. I also liked how they still gave the anime a little bit of the game feel, when it comes to showing the place name and things like that. They also kept the timing really close the game, like for each episode, one septemtorion (idk how spl) is defeated.   
There was a little confusion in the show in episode 5, like there was a leap, and some things maybe a little hard to completely understand. I wanted to know how Kuza Hibiki got Suzaku. I find that there is not enough depth into this show, even though I think that there can be a lot more meaning and feelings in this anime. I feel like that did not stress enough on Hibiki even though he is the main character, but stressed more on Yamamoto.
An anime which you cannot stop watching once you start, but in the end leave no deep memories in you.

Art Ratings: 2.5
The art is actually ok, but the character designs are really weird. I do actually like some of them, but some of them are also a little weird. Like Hibiki (the main character), what of earth is he wearing?! it kind of disturbs me when they were trying to make him look serious with his bunny hoodie up. The way they draw the girl's body is also really weird, like out of shape.
