I thought it sucked. I watched the first three episodes and then skipped to the last episode.
Early on, Teito suddenly remembers that a powerful figure killed his father, so he immediately launches an attack on the figure, getting himself into deep jeopardy. This seemed pretty juvenile and unwise, and likely suicidal. I found this a great turnoff.
Also, the characters seem to revolve around the main character in an unnatural, narcissistic manner. I kept wondering why a bishop would evince such a stalker level of interest in the main character. Like, Teito tries to escape the sanctuary, for various reasons and the bishop, and others, physically prevent him from doing so. If I were the bishop, know what little I knew, I would have advised him against leaving, but ultimately respected his wishes
It's as if the world literally revolved around Teito. This seemed like bad, narcissistic writing to me.
