At first I was very dissapointed and put off by the series. It wasn't exactly what I expected to see and I was quiet excited to watch the series at first.
The idea is not bad, basicly we have Alchemic warriors who are killing human eating homonculus.
Series start with the main character accidently getting involved in the fight. However, later on he gets completly dedicated to this new job.

What put me off is that somehow I couldn't get into the atmosphere and half naked villian who thinks he is beautiful and keeps making weird poses, doesn't really help. Or when he keeps wearing weird outfits, even Burger cafe workers of the show couldn't handle it. Was thinking of dropping it several times.

However, at around episode 9 when twins get introduced show actually starts to pick up. It starts to involve more things and actual story seems to just start. Since then show mostly kept getting better and you start to forget about some random stuff like Papillon's weird outfits.To be true, Papillon started to become really entertaining and different. He is not like your typical villian out there, weird outfits are part of his uniqness. Also more characters gets introduced and some of them are quiet fun, twins are part of that good cast.

Despite being shounen series, we actually get some decent romance development which doesn't ruin the story. Characters start to grow in strengh and emotionaly. They start to change and you become more attached to them.

I actually wanted to raise my mark till 8 but decided against it because of very cheesy ending. It is not bad, but not my type... so 7 it is.

Basicly if the show still doesn't interest you after episode 10 (small twin arc), series are not meant for you then. But you have to be patient and eventually your patience will be payed off.
