This anime is a true gritty tragedy. It is not for the faint of heart that get attached to the main characters and want them to live "happily ever after." The violence is nauseating at times.

I enjoyed the first 3 episodes, tolerated episodes 4-10 (a large serving of slice of life), and pretty much enjoyed 11 and 12. If you liked episode 1, you'll probably like the ending scenes. Personally, my favorite part was seeing Raul interact with his
