OP Theme: 「時空を超えて」- Toki (Jikuu) wo Koete by II MIX DELTA with YUPA - AVI version (22.8MB)
OP Theme: 「君がいる限り」- Kimi ga Iru Kagiri by STEPHANIE - AVI version (16.4MB)

I think the story is too messy and all over the place and it's clear that the animators were not planning properly because it's already week 2 and they are still using scenes from episode 1 to do the OP. It reminds me of Speed Grapher all over again. It's unfortunate because it has some nifty effects and the character design is quite good. Another thing that attracts me right from the start are the OP and the ED theme. In the first episode, the OP was actually placed in the ED while the ED was only heard during sponsor's screen. The OP is probably my favourite because it reminds me of DDR song. It's such an energetic number that I feel is a bit wasted here since the animators couldn't be bothered to give it a nice looking animation to go with the song. The ED theme is slightly better and features illustrations of the characters.

"Jikuu wo Koete" will be released on the 4th of July this year while "Kimi ga Iru Kagiri" will be released on the 30th of May this year.

The ending is pretty good but I'm not really into the opening. It's too techno-ish.

This series reminds me of Sousei no Aquarion. Even the main hero looks similar.

The OP is godly. It's really such a shame that Satelight couldn't be bothered to make a proper animation sequence to go along with it.

I had high hopes for the show (you normally can't go wrong with that cast), but I suppose that it'll just go unnoticed at this rate. If only they didn't end running late with the production...
