and that is literally all this anime is called. I don't know why but it should be getting an award for the shortest anime title of the year so far.
the anime itself is amazing. with a brilliant story line and a whole host of amazing characters to learn about this anime has seriously got to be my favourite anime of all time and will remain that way.
in the series their are seven different clans set in a slightly futuristic japan. there are seven clans for seven different colours. the only colours we actually learn about are the red, blue, green, silver, gold and colourless clans.
the first clan we meet in the series is the red clan, otherwise known as HOMRA with the king of the clan named Mikoto this clan is in fact the strongest, but is mainly known for its violence instead of superiority.
in the first episode we see the red king Mikoto, hand himself over to the blue king as the red clan cause to much trouble and mayhem for everyone. we start to get a feel for the story itself to, as we soon learn that the red clan are after a young boy named Shiro who supposidily killed a recent clan member named Totsuka who I have noticed was the only person who could make Mikoto smile by singing.
there is a scene in this where we see how much of an impact losing him makes for the red clan.
On the otherhand Shiro has his own problems. the previous colourless king is dead and a young man named Fushimi is sent to kill the new 'evil' king who is only a high school student who has no idea what the clans and kings thing is about. so he just goes along with it.
the storyline itself is confusing for some as its that fastly paced I couldn't really grasp the idea of some parts and had to watch a few episodes. but al in all it can seem quite touching as the red clans bonds run thicker then blood and make them all seem like family......and when a family member dies, the worst side of people show.
this anime for me beats all of the ones I've watched previously even though its only got 13 episodes it still makes perfect sense now, and there's characters you'll grow to love and like me you will wish the series is either longer or there was another series to keep you entertained.
has to be 5 /5 stars for me
