Question like that appeared after the very first episode and I knew then that this show's gonna be awesome. There was not a second I was bored watching it, and I even talked about it with friends I know never, ever will watch anime, let alone this particular show.
This anime's story is deep and meaningful, and does never get lost in some kind of comic relief or anything. It keeps to its style right to the very end.
Art may seem a bit faulty at times, but you forget that when the fighting scenes start - I can't remember any anime moments that were so intense.
And the sound! Even if the whole screen was black for a moment and all you could hear was the crack of someone's finger breaking, the feeling was perhaps even more stronger, for you relied only on your hearing.
Character design was as detailed and carefully managed as well as character's personality, background story, everything. You get to really know them all and understand them, and maybe end up cheering for some of them or wishing that they were dead, or that is just me getting too involved.
I have enjoyed every moment of this show, and at more than a few times reminded myself to watch it again. Especially 'cause of the opening sequence, which I enjoyed a lot. And I'm not gonna spoil anything, but everything seemingly builds up to the last episode which was, without a doubt, the most amazing finale I've seen in quite a while. I felt goosebumps on more than one occasion during that episode.
Definitely worth your time.
