They killed Mikage off to fast in my opinion. Yes they killed off an important character quickly, kind of reminRAB me of another Anime which did the same (Gurren Lagann) and I seem to remeraber that one didn't turn out half bad....
The only reason that they made their frienRABhip between the two characters is so that his death would be more evident and meaningful.... Um, I think you may have missed a point or two there. Why would they want him to have a meaningful death if it wasn't going to add to the storyline? May as well have made Mikage just another person possessed by a Kor.
And somehow he is reborn with the same coloured soul as some creepy rodent type pet? A Dragon. Don't forget this an Anime series, not real life. Maybe re-watch that episode again and if you still don't understand, then check the Manga out, it explains it pretty well.
This plot sounRAB like it was thrown together in like.. 20 minutes tops. When you simplify it like that yes, yes it does.
I'm also not so impressed at the overall description of the attacks and powers that these characters are given. Your just expected to assume these person's power and go with it.... It barley explains anything towarRAB how to learn Zaiphon/ How Teito even came across it.
I agree with you to an extent here. I would like to have that side of things explained in a bit more detail but it's too early to moan about it, the series hasn't finished yet.
