So first off I'll say that I never played the game or read the manga unlike a lot of people who have left reviews on this anime.
Anyway I'll start with my thoughts on the sound. At certain moments the sound seemed delayed or didn't fit the scene which annoys me to no end. At times Akira's voice acting seemed overdone or like the actor was trying too hard.
I've noticed that a lot of people called the plot confusing. I don't understand that at all. I was able to follow the plot just fine and I don't necessarily follow most anime plots well.
...
There were really no sudden twists or anything left unexplained.
I know people say the characters aren't well developed but I disagree. The only characters who didn't really have a background were the "villians" and it wouldn't have really fit in with the show if they had taken time to explain their pasts. But Akira, Keisuke, Rin, Shiki, and even "Premier" were given interesting backgrounds that, in my opinion explained the characters' personalities and behaviors.
There were some clichés in it that I won't specifically mention so as not to spoil it. But if you've seen it you know what I'm talking about. Personally I don't really like the clichés but I think they were done well in this series.
My biggest problem with this anime was the ending. It felt too rushed I didn't really like the ending myself. And the very end seemed to be a cliffhanger as though they were giving themselves an opening for a second season which I realize is done with most anime but it drives my insane.
All in all I give this anime 7/10. It's not the best anime I've ever watched but it's still a good anime that I would probably watch again if I was bored and couldn't find anything to watch.
