I'm writing this review after having binged-watched the entire series' first season a second time. Initially, I had given it a rating of 9, but that's mainly because I made a MAL account much later on after I watched the series, so I didn't remember much details about it. Now that I've seen it all over again with some friends, I got to appreciate it a little more than I did the first time around.
It's still a frikin' awesome anime. This time around though, I couldn't help but think of ghost in the shell since it deals with a futuristic Japan crime investigations and such. This time around I noticed how ensnaring and intense the OST can be. I have some REALLY good speakers so I feel the vibrations as they blast me. I;ve always seen the art as Outstanding, The characters are beautifully imagined and drawn, one can truly tell if a character was meant to look handsome/pretty or not. Each character had their own personality and I started to like them a lot because of it. It's a shame that I'll never get to see the character I fell in lurve with again. But the pace of the story, and actions taken by characters were necessary for the story to move along quite well. I don;t know who dreamed up the story for this anime but it was quite enjoyable. I haven't seen the second season yet. I didn't expect there would be one since it ended well enough even though they didn't address the new and current concern at hand which is a part of the larger picture in the story, but well.. Iook forward to seeing the second season. I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did!
