I'll go the opposite route and call this dated in the bad way. Super cheap looking production and a nhilistic, whiny smarty-pants Yuuhi that made me fell mostly sorry for the Lizard. I remember Asahina's scenes being more spectacular in the manga, making Yuuhi being swayed by her works more believable, but her character isn't fleshed out enough currently for her grandiose declaration to carry weight without the title card hanging over it. I'm glad I don't remember most of this story, because the 'journey' would be all that entices me to continue, if I do.
