The production values are pretty good, and it looks like they had a nice OVA-sized budget to make this thing happen. The animation is uniformly very fluid, the characters – who have very distinctive designs and aren't just generic girls with neon hair – stay on-model, and the fight scenes are generally very well done. The show's visuals manage a strange consistency even when they're fluctuating wildly between standard modern-day Tokyo landscapes and End of Evangelion-esque sex-apocalypse theatrics, which is a considerable feat of design; it'd have been easy to make this show feel like it's two completely different series mashed into one, but they manage to avoid that pitfall. The lone exception to the show's overall high quality is the score, which sounds suspiciously like it was ripped from a 1990s PC game.
Funimation's dub is about what you'd expect from them at this point: a pretty high quality, mostly-rewritten-for-the-better affair that makes the dialogue flow a lot more naturally in English. There's a bit more swearing than there is in the Japanese track (at least according to the subtitles), but that's sort of par for the course for a show like this. Colleen Clinkenbeard does a fantastic job as Rin, performing at just the right pitch and with the right amount of smooth confidence to bring the character to life. The rest of the cast does just fine, appropriately playing it straight without diving into the sort of hammy wink-wink dialogue that probably would've ruined the show's sleazy sincerity. It's definitely a lot more fun to watch in English as a result.
