When you say weak, what do you mean? Never seen it but might add it to my watch list.
It's my subjective impression, but the series feel a bit too repetitive and a bit too reliant on gag for a fantasy one. Give it a try though, it might feel different for you.
EDIT: although note, it isn't so bad as the Elfen Lied anime, where the only thing worth was the intro. (A shame, because the manga was decent.)
I found it so hard to get through the Elfen Lied anime. It was the glacial pace for me more than anything else.
The anime also take off a lot of the context from the manga, and this completely destroyed its message/"theme" about "what means 'to be a monster' and 'to be a human', when both behave the same?". That made the violence and gore feel gratuitous.
I still haven't read the manga, If I am honest with myself I think its because the anime turned me off some much. I should probably add it to my read list.
