... “triangles” instead of “trigons.” ⏎Code:Breaker ⏎ Rating: 3 (of 5) ⏎ Review: One night while riding the bus, model student and aikido expert Sakura Sakrakouji spots a young man who seems to be burning several people to death in a park, though no evidence remains at the scene of the crime. The next day that same boy (or at least she thinks so) transfers into her high school class. Immediately rumors fly that the idolized Sakura has a thing for newcomer Rei Ogami, especially after her attempt to confront him about it is mistaken for him turning down a love confession from Sakura.

Now the only question is whether or not Rei is going to eliminate her, too, when he shows up on the scene to “take out the trash.” ⏎ Perhaps the most surprising thing about this decently-looking new super-powered agent series is that it can actually be rather funny when not being borderline melodramatic. Sakura's interactions with the dog in particular are rather amusing (although that shouldn't be taken to mean that the episode is friendly to dog owners; quite the opposite, in fact), as are the predictable misunderstandings about the school's idol interacting with the new guy. The episode also ends on one hell of a cliffhanger – and that's despite the fact that the Next Episode preview isn't fooling anyone about the likely fate of one certain character. Beyond that, though, things break down. While it's commendable that Sakura is shown as being quite physically capable her martial arts skills are more than balanced out by her utter lack of common sense, and the rest of the main cast looks like a standard collection of pretty boys playing out a very generic concept and plot. ⏎ Code:Breaker executes its first episode well enough to be entertaining, but it will have to do more than we see here to set the anime world on fire. ⏎ Say, “I Love You&rdquo...
