The art was decent, good enough action scenes, but the main character, honestly I sometimes question why almost half the anime world is made of main characters like this one. (weak, self righteous, adds nothing immediately to crew but somehow manages to survive past more capable characters) I also was more interested in HOW humanity would have cured the disease or WHO plotted it to be a bio terrorism weapon, not like oh let me show one character who seems to be in charge of this whole scheme, have that person monologue and then choose not to continue with life... to sum it up, if you have no idea what this is about, like me, do not expect anything because the beginning makes the story seem worth it and exciting, but it just trails into something where the end product didn't justify the time it took to watch it. The ending made me feel like the creators got tired or sick of their own story and found mediocre ways to finish it that didn't even suffice......
i gave high scores for the art, the sound, and some characters, but story and plot development and character development is most important to me, and this story lacked that... its strongest element is the suspense that later proves less than satisfying, and the action/art. With so much good anime out, this falls short of its stack.
Like buying a Popsicle or ice cream bar and after finishing it, you kinda are more angry with eating a below average food while wishing you spent the calories and money on something else.....
maybe the manga is much better as everyone else is saying, but after watching this, I don't want to spend time reading the manga even if it is better than the anime, because how much can it possibly deviate from the manga? Not enough for me to waste time to watch it -_- . Sorry King of Thorns! cool title and could have had potential.
