After not watching a decent anime series for possibly a couple years now, 07-Ghost seemed the most promising even though it's not the most recent one. Having read only a few chapters of the manga I didn't know the plot exactly. Following the first few episodes it seemed average enough for me to continue and once it progressed there were many surprises and great sequences.
Story [9/10]: The plot line originally I thought was quite confusing, but after reading up on a few summaries here and there it all came together and made sense. It has a great story with all the elements of magic,
...
religion and fantasy. Despite it having quite a serious nature throughout most of the series there were also some comedic situations which lightened the mood for the audience. This is probably the most important aspect of an anime. With my high expectations for anything, for me to even consider and continue watching 07-Ghost, it is definitely worth the time.
Art [8/10]: Not the best, not the worst. Pretty average in my opinion. Nothing particularly amazing, but the quality of the art is above average.
Sound [9/10]: Beautiful instrumental pieces in this anime, making it seem almost like a video game. They definitely add to the atmosphere given the specific situation. As for the opening and ending themes they suited the series pretty well, but there's nothing really special about either of them.
Character [10/10]: All the characters are pretty much lovable in my perspective. There may be an excessive amount of characters in my opinion, but there is also a nice mix of the passive ones and the aggressive ones. Of course each of them have their own personality and such. If you are looking for an anime with various pretty boys (bishounen) that all have distinctive and unique features, this is the one you must watch.
Enjoyment [9/10]: Very much enjoyed pretty much everything about this series. Not only did it have the shounen aspects of it (even though I'm a girl), but there were scenes that pulled at my heart strings especially during the first half.
Overall [9/10]: Despite having been on hiatus from watching anime for quite a while, my high expectations still remain the same as before. With that in mind, 07-Ghost is a series that actually blew my mind away because of its unique story line, characters and amazing music pieces. Everything came together nicely so there was really nothing to complain about in the end. I managed to finish this series within several hours because it kept me intrigued and interested until the end. And afterwards, I decided to even re-watch the entire series to simply enjoy what the anime has to offer.
