I don't know if you're reading the manga, too, but it's much superior.  The anime cut out the entire beginning and just tossed them into the school.  It took out the motivations of the main characters, resulting in a lot less depth.  It took out the initial interactions between the two main girls, where Judo-girl didn't want to be friends with the main character.  We missed watching her character open up.  The result is that the anime is much more shallow.

Yeah, I've heard this anime is absolutely butchering the characterizations from the canon...which really annoys me, especially since Sayaka is my favorite character in the anime. I might check it out later, but watching the anime in a vacuum, most of the characters don't really feel that interesting. Which is a shame, since characters are always my biggest draw into the universe.

The fights are amusing at least, and I chuckled sensibly at a few of them last week. Still, outside of that, nothing is really standing out so far. If they keep the T&A battles interesting, I doubt I'll go anywhere...but that would be a shame if that's all the anime aspires to be.
