It has potential. But that's it. You have 5 basic protagonist. They have a story but it's a very light one, they never enter into details or characters episodes in which they struggle because of something in particular (except for the main character). There are hints of a deep story in them but it's never told (Ikazuchi with his childhood friend, for example). They used the episodes only for battles with random monsters and that's just sad. You can't relate with them (even tho they have a very good design and a decent base). And when you think they could do better with them, suddenly, 5 moreguys make theis appearance in the show. If the main protagonists are basic and have just a little backgound story you can imagine this other 5 guys... we barelly get to known their names and that's it (except for one of them because he's related with the main character, but we only get to know a briefly part of that story, so...) And about the story, it's just chaotic. The first 28 episodes are the typical "let's fight this one chapter monster!" and, well, it's ok. We have a bad guy, we have a motivation... but then episode 28 happens and everything stop making sense. I'll not do a spoiler, but they waste 7 episodes for an irrelevant plot that could be fixed in just 2 and the last 2 chapters are the final battle, in which we see things that doesn't make any sense with the previous information that we had. This show was like someone wrote the first 28 and then another person that doesn't know anything about the show made the rest of them looking for something, anything, to complete de 38 episodes.
