One word to describe this series: amazing. When I first saw it, I was amazed by the quality of the animation, the depth of the story, and the complexity of the characters. At first one would be inclined to think that BAV is another, 'Let's all watch the pretty girls in form fitting clothes' anime, but that's not it at all. BAV is deeply psychological, yet lighthearted at the same. Even if you're not into anime, I highly recommend watching this series.
