Chrome Shelled Regios

I wasn't to sure about the anime series Chrome Shelled Regios, but after watching six episodes, it has really grown on me, due to the main character, Layfon Alseif. He is the classic reluctant hero who is extremely powerful, with abilities that are off the scale compared to the other characters in the story. At first he tries to hide his abilities, but it is a dangerous world and eventually he is forced use his full power to protect everyone else. The story is revealing Layfon's background very slowly, so it is still not clear why he wanted to leave his old life behind.

The story also hasn't offered any hints about how the world became so messed up. The blurb on ANN does explain a little, but I hope the story expands on that soon. There are also some strange action sequences with the worst engrish (sic) ever. These sequences don't seem to fit the rest of the story so it is not clear what their purpose is yet, apart from giving people ear cancer! :-)
