Great animation, poor story

The first thing that caught my attention with Hiiro no Kakera was the animation, it was well-done and truly eye-candy. Unfortunately, the the only thing that makes this anime pop-out everything else seems to be average and there are time were the story gets a bit frustrating most specially the fight scenes. If you love reverse harem (girls surrounded by pretty boys) then this anime may appeal to you, there is even a bit of fan service were you get to see each male character do some dialogue at the end of each episode. Typical of a game to anime genre the characters are one-dimensional each having their own persona with little or no improvement as the story progresses, except perhaps Mahiro who showed a bit of vulnerability after his fight with Logos. Tamaki is your typical heroine suddenly thrust into a role of priestess who tries to be there for her guardians, however, ends up being more of nuisance. I hope the 2nd chapter of this anime prove to be a lot more interesting because there is absolutely nothing that make this anime stand-out except for the animation and perhaps the "fan-service" for some bishounen fans.
