In general, the background music is pretty decent in contrast to the cheap OP and the mediocre ED. It's just more calm than anything in a BeeTrain anime and honestly the soundtrack often doesn't match the mood/scene in BeeTree animes especially as they do not use instrumental only music which easily causes distraction instead of support for a scene. It's obvious that BeeTree uses the music this way to boost the OST sellings - which is OK but methodically sub-optimal.

Also, Fuu's complaint is surprising. Did she expect a ménage à trois?

Come to think of it, most of the top shows of this season all have a strong storyline (i.e. Full Metal Alchemist, Otogizoushi, Samurai 7), so, IMHO, I think it's nice to see a stylish production that concentrates on episodic action instead of wasting energy on an underlying plot :) And, oh, I <i>totally</i> agree that hot mecha action would be a bonus *laughs* Hehe, the caption on the second picture had me in tears :D
