This show has grown on me a lot after the first few episodes.
Dilandau continues to be psychotic and boring, though I have been assured that he gets more interesting later. Right now he reminds me of a cross between the Joker and Yumichika from Bleach. He is slightly more amusing once Oyce helpfully pointed out that the best translation of his favorite phrase is not "Burn!" but (in his case) "Burninate!"
I was surprised and pleased with the revelations about Van and his family. They have retractable wings! Folken is Van's brother!
Folken is clearly Tragic and Misunderstood. Van may think he ran away from the dragon, but come on, he got close enough for the dragon to bite his arm off. Alas for my ability to keep a straight face when confronted with Allen's character design, the revelation that Folken's Great Sweeping Cloak O' Angst was there for a reason convinced me that Allen's puffy sleeves were there to conceal the twin hedgehogs that grew out of his shoulders.
I love that Hitomi is competent (the long jump! the running!), not stupid, and not only has a useful power, but people realize that she has a useful power and listen to her and take her along when they need her.
Finally, I am trying to formulate a Unified Field Theory of dragons, guymelefs, winged people (Draconians) and the secret reasons behind the war, as I feel that all of this is connected. Perhaps the dragons don't like having their hearts being used to power machinery?
Finally, I feel that someone needs to write a cross-over between this, X, and Utena, as Allen looks and kind of acts like a refugee from the latter, the Destiny Prognostication Engine would go nicely with Absolute Destiny Apocalypse and the general X apocalypse, and there could be lots of feathers and wings and swords and roses.

The movie was...okay. I wish there was some kind of synthesis between the two, because some of the movie was so much more awesome, and yet...it didn't work as well.
