After a promising first episode I think most viewers are hooked. However I think that the first episode does not quite portray the following first season well enough.
Although the first episode is incredibly fast paced the remaining of the first season is relatively slow. Yu's constantly angry attitude becomes tiresome and it is hard to sympathize with him. The whole training in an academy plot is also tedious and somewhat irritating since the first episode seemed to offer a more diverse storyline than what viewers have already seen from other series and movies.
However there is a release from the exasperation once Yu learns to let go of his anger. That is when the bond between him and his team strengthens and we begin to warm up to him and his friends. Because of the frustration I felt towards Yu, I felt the segments with Mika and the vampires to be a relieving change of scenery. The first season improves greatly towards the end.
Nonetheless I find the second season to be the better of the two. The character's have already grown on to you and the character development (especially Yu's) is very visible. The series also introduces many other characters who are interesting and shows other parts of the ongoing war between the species rather than simply focusing the entire time on Yu.
I can't get enough of this story and a voice inside of me is always wailing and crying saying that it's unfair that anime episodes are around 22 minutes long when I finish the newly aired episode.
