Story- Essentially we have a silver haired character named Alexander who needs a certain form of sustenance in order to gain the energy needed for his metaphysical unravelling of the iron atom.Now what would that be, wait for it breast milk....Well isn't that the most enthralling and original concept to have surfaced in an anime.There is the local grocery store in which you can buy milk....or you can suck on a taciturn girl with gargantuan tits.Now to move on. Alexander can morph iron at a mollecular level but he needs the milk. He finds himself at an Eastern Orthodox School on the fringes of being in conflict with a secret society.. This has been done before even though there might be an accumulative amount of symbolism(hence the scar).Where is Robert Langdon when you need him......?
Art-Not exactly captivating or filled with guile. Even though the outlines around the girls and the luminous colours do accentuate a darker background.We also have the shounen art doctrine....chunky blocks that are suppose to suffice as hair.
Sound-The song is placating to an extent in trying to precipitate a contrite vibe in making you feel sorry for the characters past.For the most part the sound acclimates to its surroundings. With a dosage of fighting music and jaded features of techno alongside it.
Character-You have an arcane male lead who has a horrendous past in Alexander. The first female lead is the typical bombastic and or wind bag namely Oribe and then of course the reticent cohort Yamanobe who's been anointed as Alexanders personal dairy farm.Last but not least we have the dull minor villians and the minor characters who might play dress up at a gothic convention. Not everyone in Eastern Europe dresses like a surceased vitamin D drained goth.
Enjoyment-Nonplussed for the most part. There's nothing to be ebullient or happy about in watching this.
Overall- Devoid of intellect, stifling the romanticism of Eastern europe with its gaudy fashion and vacuous concepts and characters.
