The story is pretty much a Romeo and Juliet style with elemental gods instead of humans. This makes me have mixed feelings. While the story is so old and pretty much exactly what you would expect of the tale, I do like the gods a bit. Sadly, it was not enough to save the story as it felt bland in both voice acting and artwork. It just doesn't pop at all and I felt myself becoming bored while watching it as there was no surprise, no special meaning behind any of it.
The artwork is pretty beautiful but it is far from perfect. While the watercolors and special backgrounds pop, the characters seem to feel a little lack luster. The design of the characters feel like they are bland. Malta has only a small hint of wearing something although she is pretty much nude to a point and her limbs are just think sticks compared to her body with rather strange eyes that seem to be overly slanted. On the other hand, Sirius has thin limbs too but with rather clumpy looking 'feet' and hands. It makes me wish they were beautiful images like in the credits but sadly, they don't fit the background at all.
The voices oh boy the voices They have no feeling what so ever in their words and Malta's voice is just overly high pitched. It's a sad dub that makes me wish that I watched the Japanese version but the show was so bland to me that I don't want to watch it again.
