This anime has the premise of fighting, blood, and potential Shounen-Ai. Now the blood and the fighting we get and the BL, the main reason why many girls watched this-none at all.
REVIEW-
Story-6
the story is about Akira getting convicted for a crime he didn't do, and he has to go play Igura, a fighting game where a person has to collect dog-tags to beat the "last boss," Il Rey. The BL element, as i have said, is almost non-existent, The most one might hope for is Akira and Keisuke's relation to hopefully blossem of Rin and someone to get it on
Art5
It was ok, however, half the time i felt like i was watching a black screen. Sure, i heard the clanging of knives, or someone hitting up against a wall, but i saw only a black screen while they fought. I don't know if it was because of my computer, but looking at a black screen during a fight. It also ddn't help that the art was dark to begin with. (A little note:Rin was the best drawn character :))
Sound-5
The OP was pretty ok but the end themes, I didn't pay attention to those at all.
Character-5
The characters had no depth to me. They were as flat as flat can be, and I felt absolutely no connection to them at all.
Enjoyment-4
Ok, between the almost non-existent story and the black screen moments, i can't say i enjoyed it. Its just one of these bad animes that you can't help but to watch and hopes that it would get better.
Overall-5
I figure if you like bloody anime with lots of darkness, then this anime is for you
