Agreed.

My brother downloaded the series and he liked it. I saw like two or three episodes and caught glimpses of others here and there and I didn't like it. IMO, I thought it was cheesy how if their guardian dies then their closest loved one (or whatever) "disappears"...
Of course, I don't know the actual story of it (but I have a feeling I wouldn't like it anyway) and that I also have a specific taste of plots.
