To begin with, this show is, well, it is not for the average watcher who expects pew pew boom boom kind of action. I, myself, loved the show, but it is because I understood everything that was said and done in it. For other people, it was a hard time understanding it, thus such a low score on MAL. You need some brain to keep up with the show.

The story is very well-knit. I have to admit, it's been a while since I've watched a show that is this well-written. For me, it was a very good time because at times, I even foreseen what some things meant, which gave me an easy time watching. The show very well follows the principle of progression and you have to admit that by the mid-end there is some intense action that keeps you interested and curious to see the ending soon, because you can feel the tension and atmosphere of it coming to an end. Story development, culmination etc. is well done.

Art: Well, if I'm being honest, I'm watching D.Gray-man and Sakurada Reset at the same time. Since I finished Sakurada Reset, I watch D.Gray-man. To compare both, Sakurada Reset looks way better and well-drawn, executed, than the opposite is, and D.Gray-man is an action anime, so you can pretty much worry about art the least.

Sound: Okay, this is the part where I want to cry, because the anime so well got me interested and intrigued that I couldn't even really take a notice onto the music. It was there, but it went straight to my emotions instead of my brain, so I'm literally just listening to the music after watching the anime. That means it is definitely not lacking.

Character: Now character development is something that I liked. Yes, change on supporting characters wasn't the main objective, but I really liked the development in Haruki, Kei and even Soma. Even some supporting characters can be seen changing. Despite even the character development, you could see visual development in general, which is also great.

Enjoyment: Overall, I'm giving this a 10 just because I enjoyed it to its fullest. The characters were relatable, I really loved their behaviour. I couldn't help but notice the differences between them, and despite Kei and Haruki, I especially liked Soma. Her speech manner is rather lazy, or relaxed, as if she knew everything, but at the same time everytime she talked, it's as she is absolutely sad, despite being bright. And at times, she talks the same way again, as if being lazy, but that speech feels as of someone's who has seen a thousand years of experience, of life, of everything. When she speaks to Kei, it seems as if they're both some kind of higher beings, but Soma is someone who knows more, knows better, knows right and in a way, leads Kei's way, lectures him, when they casually discuss some things over. That is where I see the issue, that even the strong ones need help.

Enjoy the show, make sure you don't have any misunderstandings, and don't listen to those who tell it's a bad anime. Do not mistake a bad anime to a something that you don't like, it is rude and incompetent.
