I just finished watching the last episode, I didn't really like it. I personally think the anime tried to fit what could've been 24 or 25 episodes into 12 episodes. This is because they didn't introduce a lot of the servamps and eves, didn't explain C3 thoroughly enough, and the storyline was kind of unorganized and all over the place. It was very anti-climatic and overall kind of confusing. I also think this anime had poor character development.
~It's one of those anime with great potential, but poor set up (the way things played out wasn't very organized), but that's ... just my opinion.

The character design was amazing (visually) and they had cool and unique features/traits but they weren't developed deep enough. A lot of characters just showed up and had a mini background story, but to me that was kind of weak. The development (background info.) on the characters was merely just enough to make them relevant to the story line, rather then deep development that makes the character understandable. I understand that this was only 12 episodes, but I've seen anime with only 12 episodes that can perfectly develop characters.
In addition to poor character development many of the characters showed up, like servamps and eves, but weren't developed at all. To me I thought it would be important to at least meet all the servamps, but only some were introduced.For example, the queen that Greed (Hyde) was infatuated with had more screen time then most of the servamps, and she was only used in a background story to 'develop' him. While Greed and Licht (the angel) were my favorite parring, I personally think they had better character development than Mahiru and Sloth/Kuro/Sleepy Ash (the main characters).

Another problem I had with the anime was it was a little confusing and kind of unorganized. There was a point in the story where there was a flashback about the Servamps and Kuro's history with his family. While it was a good idea to include the flashback into the plot, I personally think it should've been elaborated on more. It was a quick flashback that apparently was a big deal throughout the show. It seemed like something so small in the plot, but it affected the main characters in a way, that I think, shouldn't have been such a big deal. I saw it as something in the past, but it kept coming up as something that affected the relationships between multiple characters.

Adding on to my list of picky complaints, I think the goal/reasoning (for the anime) wasn't evident till the last episode, this anime's antagonist wasn't made a big deal (in my eyes), his appearance was minimal. The conclusion of the anime was based solely on stopping this antagonist, but I just thought he was a crazy man everyone need to keep an eye out for. In the end, the way the plot played out, it made it seemed like this anime didn't have a point.

As you can see character development and plot are kind of a big thing to me, and I know for some people it isn't and that's where people may disagree with me, but this is my two cents on everything ~.<
