Story: (8/10)
Not a lot of people see it, but this anime has a thick plot and has a lot of substantial themes. It's really interesting. It tackles upon complex issues such as the value of human life, the nature of life and death, the circle of life and even the value of friendship. Those aside, the story development wasn't so bad either. It's downfall lies on the fast paced episodes and the shortness of the series itself. Viewers were not able to enjoy this series long enough. Though I have to say, the cliff hanger ending was good. Makes viewers thirsting for some more. It would be a lot better if this had a sequel.
Art: (8/10)
Graphics is fine. Blood scenes are realistic enough. Female characters were cute. Male characters were bishies. I'm not picky when it comes to art. Their proportions were more than decent. But then again, there was really nothing special about the art.
Sound: (6/10)
The sounds are so-so. The dubbing was done well. But that aside, the OP and ED weren't that enjoyable. The first time I heard the OP, my head began to throb in pain. I have nothing against rock, but I think that was too much. The sounds are decent enough, but wasn't really special.
Characters: (10/10)
Each of the characters has their own characteristics, their own attitudes, their own past and are capable of standing as an individual character. I think that this is the most important trait that each characters should have. That aside, each characters are interesting in their own way. They have their own story to tell. It's really fun watching them develop as the series goes on.
Enjoyment: (9/10)
This anime is really enjoyable. While dealing with serious themes, the anime has a light and comical atmosphere. The action scenes were also decent enough. It also gives off some mysterious aura that leaves the viewers wanting for more. I would have given it a 10 if the series wasn't so short.
Overall: (8/10)
A thick plot, good art, interesting characters... this anime would have been better if only it had a longer series. But despite that, the story development was fine and they tackled about interesting issues.
