The characters don't really develop at all during the series, finishing it out in much the same mind frame as they start it. The main plot line of the series is also ignored for the majority of the series. Now, I'm not against episodic anime, but I do like a bit more of story progression during a series.

Thanks for the info Vic...you've spared me from giving the series another try since I was going to rent the second disc because I felt I gave the series an unfair first impression. But since you said that the characters had no development (even though some die-hard fans would disagree) I see no point in wasting my time. And yeah, like you, I don't mind episode-like series, but there has to be something else going on other than just goofiness (like the baseball episode that Knightmare mentioned or that zombie episode that I read somewhere...I mean, WTF?).

Yes I have, I've seen the first episode (the only one released) and I was going to create a thread on it giving my impression.
