Gotta say, IF you are a shoujo genre fangirl, then this would probably get a 9. I don't mean it in a bad way, I am quite happy with it too. That's why i gave it an overall 7 (good): i do enjoy cheap dramas at times and i definitely love guys BUT my no. 10 shoujo anime is much better. so keep in mind that I gave it this 7 as within the shoujo genre.
I'll start with why I needed to see this and why I absolutely loved it. This series right here is a combination of all anime male awesomeness: both characters and seiys.I can't help but guess they intentionally picked this cast to catch on all the fangirls everywhere. So let me introduce you:
Luka - main character with yumm Sebastian Michaelis look alike. And a demon too. Voiced by none other than Takahura Sakurai. While you may not be familiar with names, I'm sure you watched D.Gray-Man and you know who Kanda is. And you definitely remember his voice. If you don't know Kanda though, you must know Suzaku from Code Geass. YES!!! that one helluva voice.
Okay. So we have a Sebastian Michaelis (Korushitsuji) guy without the voice of actual Sebastian. But no worries, his seiyu is here too: Daisuke Ono voicing Hotsuma. Haaaa. Really. I feel like I can just die happy now for I have heard everything i needed to in this life.
As I was saying, everything about the cast is carefully put together so that the girls would love it. I've never watched another show with so many gorgeous guys.
And shounen-ai. Damn... I was so close! And from now on I'm gonna start whining. Someone misled me into thinking this actualli didn't have shounen-ai. I like shounen ai. But with Daisuke Ono and Akahura Sakurai?! Those merciless creators... Still, I have to say this anime exceeded my expectations from a shoujo shounen-ai one.
The story. I think it's beautiful. Not original, but still touching for my fangirl little heart. Yuki, the main character, in love with Luka, a demon, dies and reborns into the body of the least appealing bishounen in the anime. Yuki the guy ruins the show for me. His voice is horrible and his way to be is useless. He's that kind of "I have no power except healing and understanding of others feelings but IM A MAN" who ends up shouting "nooo don;t kill our worst enemy because he was my friend" and everybody listens to him because he was a great woman in his past life. Luka is still around, protecting him. And as I was saying this show is worth watching for Luka and Hotsuma alone.
The anime starts slow with a boring but dramatic introduction to the present. Every episode starts in an epic flashback or more like a vision featuring Luka and Yuki as woman naked. Hooray for the fanservice that even it was so damn repetitive I watched it every time. Eventually further in some decent fighting arcs start, which are quite okay paced for a shoujo anime. I mean I have seen a lot of worse fighting scenes in animes that overall were better than this one. It never hurt any girl's heart to see some blood and suffering. I just wish Yuki would disappear.
