The story in this anime is a creative and refreshing one, albeit odd at times. It does a good job of keeping you in suspense of whats to come while giving you action that is first class. While not ground breaking the action is always a thing of beauty (if you think that sort of thing is beautiful). But to be honest the main reason why the action is the first thing that comes to my mind is because what made it so spectacular is the musical arrangement by Yuki Kajiura. Now let me state that I'm a huge fan of her work, the way she captivates you through a simple song is amazing, but when I first hear this song play in the background of the first fight I instantly looked up the song and wanted to just hear the song as an OST. This was my first time hearing Yuki Kajiura's music. Even the opening song is a top notch anime song that is among my favorites.
But other than the music I love the interactions between our main characters Alice and Oz. The way the two interact is just so fun to watch and I honestly can't decide which character I prefer.
Now this anime certainly has some odd things that happen, most obviously the odd connection to Wizard of OZ, which to my knowledge has no connection to the book or the movie at all. (maybe it has some connection to Alice In Chains, but that is even more unlikely)
Either way this is a great anime worth a watch any day in my book, its weird and has unexpected turns that keep you interested from beginning to end. Though, at least for me, what really makes this anime so great is the music.
Thanks Yuki Kajiura! Keep making amazing songs that we can all enjoy.
