Now, the first thing that can be seen is that the art style, and the story (very loosely) is similar to Black Lagoon, which is a series that I really really enjoyed. So, why am I not giving this show a higher rating? Simple, because the story did not progress much. The plot would constantly pause and lots of 'memories' and past events would play through, and certain characters were introduced, but nothing much would come from it. It felt like it was building up for something big to happen, yet nothing big happened. Major let down. Besides that, the characters were fairly interesting. Each one had something interesting going on, even though the constant use of eye patches was overly done. The sounds/music was good, it really was. Animation style, started off great, then started to slacken near the end of the season. Maybe budget issues?
Anyway, the show itself, was okay, just, okay. Not bad, but not amazingly superbly great either. The art style made me like it because of the Black Lagoon style, the characters made things gritty, but the story progression, was really lacking.
