The story was very intriguing. The seven kings, powers, gangs, factions, this whole ordeal with a war and how the powers originated, but it wasn't properly explained. There are seven kings, Silver, Gold, Red, Blue, Colorless, but yet there was no mention of the seventh king. Upon further exploration on the wiki, apparently there's a green king, but this information must've been gathered via a different series or movie about the same anime universe. There were many points in which the words "I'm confused" came out of my mouth during this anime. So much so, that I started to worry I was just an idiot. But, unshockingly, it wasn't me, it actually was the anime. This show didn't explain many things, and the things it did, they barely went into detail. Besides their lack of detail, the story was interesting, and I was always at the edge of my seat. The amnesia was a very cool factor in the beginning episodes, which made the series overall, fun.
Art - 8/10
The visuals were shocking. Very bright, at times, too bright. And the effects when the kings started using their powers was very cool, but overall, not unique, which was disappointing. But still very pretty. I'm not all the smart when it comes to detail in the art, but at times, it lacked detail. At other times, the detail was immense. So I wont take away too many points.
Sound - 7/10
I watched this series on Netflix, and because their subs suck, I was forced to watch a dubbed version. It wasn't amazing, but I liked their voice actors (for the most part).
Characters - 6/10
The characters were disappointing. The only two I was actually impressed with were Adolf K. Weismann and Kurou Yatogami. Even though they were both cliche type characters, Weismann really took the cake with his caring for even the most evil, such as the Colorless King. There were background stories on Weismann, Misaki and Saruhiko, but only a little for the latter two. This part the anime is where it lacked most. If I wasn't such a softy, I wouldn't have cared for any of these characters, because they're just cardboard cutouts and honestly, at times, quite boring. But, I still loved them all, and because of that, this section doesn't quite fall down the drain.
Enjoyment - 9/10
I quite enjoyed myself! While this anime lacked explanations on many parts and was a little chaotic, it was still enjoyable, and re-watchable. I had fun with the characters, especially during the beginning.
Overall - 7/10
Overall, this anime was a decent one. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't the "Anime of the Century," at least, in my opinion. And that's what this is all about. Opinions. If you thought it was terrible, so be it. If you thought it was wonderful, good for you. I think you should be the judge. Just don't go telling everyone that they must accept your opinion.
