YMMV / Pilot Candidate

• Angst? What Angst?: Erts seems to care little about his brother's death. But he's kind of emotionless to begin with.
• Awesome Music: If there is one thing viewers will consider good in this series, it was Tomoyuki Asakawa's fantastic score.
• Draco in Leather Pants: Hiead has a lot of fangirls despite him being a ruthless jerk in the manga. Ironically enough, the anime toned down his negative attributes and gave him a Freudian Excuse which probably helped fuel this.
• Ho Yay: Expect no less from the author of D.N.Angel. To begin with, the scene where Zero and Hiead meet. That classic situation where one party (Zero) is going too fast and ends up falling on top of the other (Hiead) and accidentaly straddles their hips. And in the last episode, Hiead saves Zero from Victim for reasons he doesn't even try to explain.
• Moral Event Horizon: In the manga, Hiead beating down the already defeated Yamagi to near death was the point that Hiead was established as not just as The Rival, but one of the series' leading antagonists.
• Narm: While Ernest's death is genuinely sad, how the characters react to it either range from a lack of emotion to over the top cheese. The hilariously bad English dub certainly didn't help.
