Iain (M.) Banks's novels really are very nice indeed. I like both his sf novels and his more realistic stuff.
Recently I seem to have read many good fantasy novels but it was really great to see that a contemporary author is doing so great in a big-scope-vision sci-fi. YAY! I intend to read (though I never do it too fast) through all his novels.
I though OnI started a bit uneven, but it's been getting better and more exciting with each episode. And Takki is so gorgeous and intense as Ryuzaki! :)
I agree on both accounts. I didn't quite know what to make of OnI at first , it seemed too straightforward somehow and a little naive, but in the recent episodes the show developed quite nicely and some decent twists were introduced. But Takki was a joy to watch from the very beginning. I got quite annoyed few times with Ryo's character but it is nice to see that he also is getting a grip in the recent eps.
