aka Knight Hunters or White Cross.

Just finished watching! Thoroughly enjoyed it! Don't know why some people find fault with it.
Although the art is not especially beautiful or smooth, the 25 episodes are well-connected and meaningful. The story, action and characters are great. I felt really drawn to the complex characters and their background histories.
Of all the characters, the most beautiful is Schuldig who can read and manipulate people's minds. I love his orange hair and beautiful eyes!!! Those eyes make him even more beautiful than Aya!
I was very surprised that Schuldig shares the same seiyuu (Hikaru Midorikawa) as Tamahome of Fushigi Yugi. Wow. Schuldig's voice is so sexily, wickedly low, whereas Tamahome's voice is young with a light and playful tone.
The end theme songs are better than the opening songs, but overall, the music/score is ok.
I really like the relationship between Nagi and Tot/toto. It's quite cute and sad.
Actually, at first, I thought Weiss sounded like Vice every time the characters announced themselves. But after looking up the Net, it's actually Weiss. Don't know why German is being used for this series. The original writing is WeiB Kreuz (the "B" is a beta symbol).
At the end of the vcds, there are some seiyuu recording fun stuff. I laughed out loud watching them in one of those fun recording sessions where they played the scissors, paper, stone game.
The loser is whacked on the head with a toy hammer if he doesn't quickly cover his head with a plastic basin! The 4 seiyuus take turns playing the game and it was really fun seeing them! ;D
Then in another session, Tomokazu Seki who voices Ken, said that he would defend himself from Weiss Kreuz by using children as shields since Weiss Kreuz members are kind-hearted.
To the amusement of his fellow seiyuus, he said he would strap a kid in front of his chest, another kid strapped behind. Also, put a kid on each shoulder (in case Weiss Kreuz attacked from above) and one kid for each leg! It was quite hilarious the way he demonstrated it with his hands!
Thanks to these special recording sessions, I got to see what the seiyuus looked like.
The seiyuu whom I recently added to my personal list of sexy voices--Shinichirou Miki--is tall and quite skinny. He wore sunglasses throughout the sessions, so I couldn't see his eyes
He voices the playboy Yoiji--the tallest Weiss kreuz member who has a weakness for girls and women.
The hot favourite of many people--Koyasu Takehito, who plays Aya--has red hair and seemed rather self-conscious during the sessions. He seemed rather shy actually and I just learnt his favourite animal is the giraffe. During the sessions, he played with a small stuffed giraffe! I thought it was rather nice and impressive that he is the author of Weiss Kreuz.
Hiro Yuuki who plays Omi, is surprising very womanly. I mean, he's small-sized, not tall and behaves in a very womanly way. He is really very jovial and laughs all the time. His voice is simply perfect for Omi!
Ah well, I don't know how old the series is, or how long ago the recordings were made. The seiyuus probably don't look like they do in the vcds anymore.
Actually, none of the 4 seiyuus are handsome. Only their voices are great. Yet, I read that a lot of girls are nuts about them. I mean, these seiyuus go on concert tours and these girls go crazy!

Since they escaped, I guess it's likely that the other gang are probably still alive somewhere, although this is not shown.
