It does however have a good amount of Fan service (which I enjoy) but my friends and critics say takes away from the plot and action the series establishes.

Overall, I enjoyed the series, and yes , do not view the intro. Why is it most anime series I enjoy have the corniest or cheesiest intros?

BOMB A HEAD! IT'S BODY TIME!!! Hahaha!

If you've read the manga, then you have seen fanservice extreme. I mean, what you see in the anime isn't half as bad as what the manga shows. As in "not bad at all". Maybe I'm so excited because I suddenly got the manga without all the nakedness.

Alright, 24 episodes later:

I think I got seriously damaged by the intro, which I usually listened to just to make myself comfy on my bed and yawn once or twic and/or to have a stretch. Anyways, "Bomb a head" has scarred me for life.

But the anime itself is very good. The story gets really exciting towards the end and a couple of plot twists are really unexpected. The ending came all of a sudden, but I guess they didn't know themselves that they had to wrap it up within these couple of episodes. Anyways, openended, Souichiro still kicks ass, still is an idiot. I hope they'll produce more.

About that "more": There's some OVAs around and I'll see that I can get them. You'll be the first ones to know how I liked them.
