----------------------------------------
Final opinion of the show since I'm not really feeling like writing a full review:

It's a definite 5/10 for me. It's not so bad really, it's just confused and too long. At it's heart it was a Jesus parable, which is not a bad archetype to base your story off of IMO. The problem is, ... what the hell is up with this show? First off, they filled some earlier episodes almost entirely with recycled material long before a recap was due, and second off it was completely nonsensical in the setting. Like, they fight with swords yet they are working with WW1 era aircraft, and they have advanced technology to create completely artificial superhumans? And what the hell was with that bullet, is god a werewolf?

With the exception of the recycled scenes though, at least this anime was enjoyable.

The whole jealousy/hatred talk is out of line to be honest in this show. There were some development but I didn't taste it. I'm rating the series as 5/10 also. This felt like a weaker version of 07-Ghost w/less comedy and more forced drama. The action was okay though with the aerial dogfights.

Dat cheesy line. At least there was a happy ending I guess~

Yep. It was interesting and had nice ideas, but i can't say I am satisfied with the way it presented them.

The first half was riddled with recaps and slow pacing, then the second half had the assholes take over and really nothing was changed overall. I found most of the characters shallow and irredeemable and most deserved to die but didn't or if they did it was done in a second and moved on. Some very inconsistent storytelling

4/10, this was just bad plain and simple.

I wouldn't think of this as a jesus parable- it's a story of it's kind. And an amazing plot twist in the last few moments- very emotional- very philosophical- it's so sad why this anime is soo underrated.

And everytime i like a character or two- it's all the same what happens to them :/

It had its moments; the whole friendship thing was sorta cheesy, but - I get it.
