I can understand the criticism coming from the anime lover population. Yes the story was lacking. Yes the art was choppy at times and yes the characters were pretty basic. The story wasn't horrendous just lacking. It didn't have the essentials or the time to tie it all together. I have to say I had zero expectations for this anime and completely loved it. The theme is what any anime/gamer fan girl could want. Violence, hot guys and some hinted BL. I would definitely suggest this to people who are looking for something more then just BL with either rape or sappy romance. I can

enjoy hot guys kicking ass any day. If you don't go into this anime ready to chop it into little pieces I'm sure you'll enjoy it, because now that I've turned around to review I've realized that it really was lacking but I enjoyed it none the less. Don't give up on it until you've tried an episode.
The theme is what makes this anime though. There is not another bloody action anime with BL in it. Give me another anime with that theme and I will LOVE you forever, but it has to be beautifully drawn not any of that old Gundam Wing art style, thats not hot. (No really post it on my profile or something)
Ah the art. As i said it was bad at times. If people pay close attention its just in the far away views. The close ups are amazing and drawn quite well. I have to say the Adam's apples and collar bones were drawn nicely. There was never any doubt whether the character was male thats for sure. (except for Rin) My favorite part was the blood. They like to make it neon red and i just think thats beautiful in comparison to the dull red most anime's use. And they where spatters of blood not splats, huge globs of round shaped blood is retarded. It annoyed me to no end though when the blood didn't fade in the rain. I for one also enjoyed the fact that no one was hideous enough to make me barf my lunch. I loved how even the cast away characters were better looking then most heroes in anime. It made me giggle when the bar scenes came around. If it wasn't for their mess ups the art would have been a definite 10. Oh! Did i mention the red rings on their eyelids occasionally. I thought that was a nice touch. I really liked the style it created it, gave it a unique flare. Made them stand out more. When the close ups came i couldn't help but think how beautifully it was drawn which I mentioned several times to my friends while watching it. I think the close ups were what got me. The backgrounds where drawn well also, the colors they used fit.
Sound! I believe this is what they spent most their money on eh? A different song for every ending theme? They had better things to waste their money on. The sound track was amazing. They had nice background music, ending themes and the likes.
You dont really love any one character. The story line doesn't last long enough for you to fall in love with one of them. They had the potential but not the screen time.
In short yes there was some problems. But come on. Cant people enjoy what its about. The theme is what dragged me in and i found it amazing! It covered every aspect an awesome anime thats not rated R could cover. It would have been awesome if it was better but hey beggars cant be choosers. I'm glad they even made the anime.
