It starts out weird, with monsters and them beating it up. The Animations seems to be ok. That was until I saw something that changed my whole perspective of this Anime. But more about that later, I'll discuss the story and characters first.
The story revolves about a group of youngsters. Each one of them having their respected influence, as they all have different strengths, weaknesses, powers and personalities.
It seems to be a pretty cool cast. You have the silent boy no one really knows about, the strong and fierce delinquent, the protective girl with healing powers, etc. They're fighting to kill weird monsters they call "oni". There is also a storyline to this all. I can't say this Anime gave me much to complaint about (yet). It seems like you've jumped right into a game, that together with your party.
There are of course also minor negative things about this Anime. One of them being that whenever there is an action scene, it ends pretty quickly. But it are only minor things, nothing to worry about. Talking about the action, I think it's time to tell you whether the Action is really as great as I expected.
The action is what made my perspective of this Anime that different. It wasn't just "beating up monsters" any more. The amazing thing about this Anime is in fact.. the action. I've seen my parts of action Anime already, but this one was different. Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou Tou has really cool action. You see all kind of different fighting styles used for fighting monsters; not just monsters, also other people with a sort of "super power". I remember seeing one guy having the ability to use lightning. Using a large pole-arm or sort, it blows away the enemy's with his speed and power; it's still lightning of course, imagine how badass that'd be.
I've been trying to think of a negative part for a while now. But there really aren't many. If you think that the monsters are actually one of this Anime' weak points; than you are wrong. I have to agree that the zombie like creatures look like they've escaped straight from Resident Evil. But no, they didn't, neither do they bother you when viewing the Anime. Not to mention that the zombie'-like creatures aren't of a big importance in the Anime.
In fact, they don't have that big a role. The ones using and making these Zombie's are the ones controlling them. Those controllers are the ones playing a big role in the Anime, neither are they as bad in looks as the Zombie's, they look pretty cool. If you mix up a cool looking cast; mixed together with cool fighting scenes. Just what else can you wish for in an action Anime?
The story continues with a second season, and after that there might even be a third and/or fourth season. So isn't it a waste to watch an Anime who will grow to have over 30 episodes?
Uh, no. It's not even close to being a waste. I really enjoyed this Anime, and I think you will too.
It's not the "best" Anime out there. In many ways it's just an average Anime. But the fighting scenes (when they fight), are awesome.
So this could be considered a recommendation.
