Spectacular. Simply brilliant. This show says more in 12 episodes than others could do in 12 seasons. It has this aura that has the watcher questioning so many different things the whole way through. From the characters to the plot, the show asks questions that really make the viewer think. Many of those questions are answered throughout the show, but those answers usually seem flimsy (in a good way). This show has a lot of room for interpretation and it has true philosophical value. That, and it was quite enjoyable and exciting to watch.
I wanted to leave a fairly short review, because I don't really feel like going too in-depth with this. The show is brilliant, it deserves to be watched. MyAnimeList demands I write a longer review though, so here I am. Watch the show, it's a diamond in the ruff.
Shinichirō Watanabe is by far the best, most creative, and most intelligent anime director. Everything he makes seems to speak depth and value. From Samurai Champloo to Cowboy Bebop to Death Parade, everything he makes seems to be outstanding.
