[NGW]

It's not my all time favorite, in fact it probably just hits the top 5 for me (admittedly I haven't finished that many seasons, but I have at least seen bits of a decent number), it had some great drama, an interesting world, some fantastic characters, a good sense of humor, and as was said, it brought back the more serialized episodes of older seasons, which was very much appreciated.

I'd take Ryuki, Hibiki or Faiz over Gaim any day, but I definitely enjoyed it more than say..OOO, Wizard, Drive, and so far Ghost (though I do like what I've seen of Ghost so far).

And as far as endings go, Ryuki, which is quite possibly my all time favorite show (even outside of Toku), has the most infuriating last 5 minutes or so if it literally just ended with Ren's death in the hospital rather than timewarping everything and giving the series a happy ending it would have been PERFECT. W had a pretty irritating conclusion as well. And Faiz had basically no conclusion. And yet the strengths of those shows far outweighed that one flaw.
