This is a great anime for people who enjoy gore. Blood is everywhere and there is not a single episode where at least one drop isn’t spilt. It shows what people with a lot of money can create and get away with, how extreme losses can affect the sanity of a person, and how twisted people with the power of manipulation can make life. The characters that make up this anime have all had devastating events happen to them. But despite all of that, even with past devastation, there are characters who still have hope and the will to fight to the bitter end. Most of the characters that really count have interesting back stories that help the viewers understand why they are the way they are.
There were a couple of disappointing things for me in this anime though. 1) The lack of Shiro’s full development 2) The ending

Shiro is a vital character to this anime and they did show a little of her past because of Ganta but they didn’t really show where she came from or what was going on with her enough to make her as powerful as she was. They hinted a little bit but didn’t explore it to its full potential.

The ending wouldn’t have been so bad if there was a second season. They left it open because they were counting on a second season but when the people in Japan didn’t take as much interest in it as they expected they dropped it. Of course if the viewers really wanted to know what happens after the 12th episode they can read the manga, but because of how they ended it, it leaves the viewer expecting more….only to get nothing.

I personally really enjoyed watching this anime. It had me hooked from the beginning and wasn’t like anything I had ever watched before. I would recommend it for anyone who loves action, gore, and drama. I warn viewers that the ending is sudden and open but it is still definitely worth the watch.
