Now... I really really enjoyed this anime. From beginning to end I absolutely loved it. You may be wondering why I gave it a 7 then. Well unfortunately, even though there is no big problem with the small amount of episodes I have here to judge, there is a problem. Way too short. This series has so much going on and it builds so much up only to have an ending that leaves so much to be wanted, almost as if they were going to make a second season but never did. I highly recommend watching through this anime and then reading the manga starting chapter 21. As an experience, it's incredible. The world it creates is cruel, and never ceases to cause our main character, Ginta, problems. The animation is beautiful and everything from the fights to serious moments are captured beautifully. There is some issues with characters being weirdly low detailed when they are far from the "camera" but that's not a huge issue. The music is enjoyable and fits the tone, but it's very forgettable. There are many likable characters with great personalities, brought to life by a great Japanese voice cast(the English dub can get a bit irritating). So all in all, watch this anime and pretend it's an opener to the manga, which you should start reading at chapter 21 after you watch the anime.
