Characters: Meh. Only ones that matter are the MC, Rize, and Jason. The rest are insignificant to the plot and its development.
Animation: Good. Fighting is odd and I felt like there wasn't any flow to it causing my eyes to try and find a focal point in the midst of it all. Also, CENSORS THAT BLOCK THE ENTIRE SCREEN
Soundtrack: Meh.
Story: Meh.
Overall: Good watch, doesn't live up to hype though. Go watch Zankyou no Terror instead for this season.
