Synopsis

Shuuichi Kagaya is what one would consider an average high school student, but sometimes, he turns into a monster. He doesn't know how or why he got his abilities, only that he would prefer no one knows about them. One night, he finds a building ablaze with a girl trapped inside. Deciding to save her, he transforms and carries her to safety, but accidentally drops his phone.

The next day, the girl he saved—Claire Aoki—finds him and confronts him about his monster identity. She even goes so far as to push him off the school roof to prove her theory after Shuuichi denies her allegations. Desperate to save himself, he transforms, and Claire snaps a picture in order to blackmail him into telling her everything he knows about monsters, which, ironically, isn't much.

As it turns out, Claire has a secret of her own: she has been searching for her sister, who also became a monster. She enlists Shuuichi's help to track her down, but they aren't the only ones searching for answers.

Can't wait for Season 2.
Well now that that is being said let us review it. Finally since a longer time, I found a nice Seinen Anime, which is just 13 episodes long. Sure it ends in a way, which leaves you expecting a sequel, there is some more to be shown.
Anyway, the plot is exactly as I like it, more of a dark one, just what a real R - 17+ Rating needs, Action, Mystery and Supernatural with a small flair of some Ecchi. To be Frank, do not get discouraged by the first episode cause it is just, well OK and the following second ...

Mixed Feelings
If I'll write my synopsis, I'll put it this way. An alien spaceship crashed on Earth, and with it are numerous objects that look like coins. A surviving alien created a game where if a person gathers 100 of these coins, he will grant extraordinary powers to them.

Stuff that I like:

The main male character started as the usual beta male, but there were wonderful changes that made him less insufferable.

The main female character is the most interesting. She is a complex character as well as her sister, who acts as an antagonist or perhaps an anti-hero. The main female character is not just smart but ...

This had so much potential to be a very good anime and when I say that I mean it, think of how good Parasyte was, this could have been at the tier, but of course, the main character is too wimpy for that. Do you love wimpy shrimp main characters or, aka the Shinji syndrome, do you love a show that keeps on making you question every decision? Then “oh boy, do I have a show for you”. I can see why some people liked this, but after finishing it, I have a lot more dissatisfaction than anything. Have you ever wanted to like ...
