"Twin Stars" begins with a few nice twists, from a powerful character too traumatized to keep following the path he started down to the scars he carries from the trauma being different than what was expected. Add on a well executed rival plot line that is the other half of a "fated" couple and their relationship that starts with hate and ends with respect and you've got a show a little deeper than the average anime and is very watchable.
But I suggest stopping at episode 20.
At that point "Second Season Syndrome" kicks in, mixing in Cyborg Girls, Mechas, Scooby Do monster of the week, random super powerful throw away bad guys and a build up that leads to allot of disappointment.

Pro's:
- Great intros (several over the 50 episode run).
- Solid English Dubbing.
- Consistent Animation quality.
- Core first half of the long run is very solid.
Con's:
- Second season syndrome after episode 20 (Story and animation quality drop-off, etc.).
- Random "child" addition that didn't make allot of sense.
- To much time spent recapping.
- Cheesy Trope character additions.
- Ridiculous bad guy monologuing.
