The first few episodes were cute, but nothing i would choose to watch on my own. BUT i did not stop watching. The story, the characters, and even the setting take a 180 degree turn, and blow you away.
Episode 13 is particularly where the drastic change occurs, BUT if you dont watch the previous 12 episodes, it wont be seem all that spectacular. It would be like opening a book and starting at the middle. You need the character build-up of Vash, the main character.
The story, action, characters, and suspense make this anime above most others. What is human kind?: are we beings that need compassion that are innately good, or are we filth that needs to be exterminated?
