I actually love Faiz a lot, and I thought a lot happened through out it but I enjoyed the characters a lot and viewed it differently.

That's great to hear, like I said I enjoyed Wizard and genrally I love slower paced stories so I'm sure I will enjoy it. And really despite complaints I did enjoy Faiz(enough to preorder the RAH Faiz 1.5). I loved Kusaka and Kiba and enjoyed the rest of the characters as well and even during the middle when the story grinds to a standstill(especially from after Kusaka leaves the group till when he comes back) it was the characters and the character drama that was what kept me watching.

Really my big problem with Faiz was the villains, Lucky Clover was a joke. Sure they were intimidating at first but even as early as episodes in the twenties had them often losing or tying with the heroes. I almost gave up on Faiz after Saeko and Takuma try and threaten Smart Brain's president when he treats them as just underlings saying that they were the ones who were powerful and that they had stolen both Faiz and Kaxia belt. Which was simply not true as Kaido stole both of the belts which was something they hadn't been able to do, and then they lost the belts while using them which made them extra pathetic as they tried to act like they were some big bads. The fact that the next string of episodes had the plot going in circles with useless melodrama due to people just not talking to each other (which would of helped keep the plot from going in circles)and the only reason for most of the fight scenes was due to Lucky Clover trying to get a new member, who kept dying in the fights.

But I made it through and the latter episodes more than made up for it,
