I came into this anime blind without knowing anything about it beforehand. The first ten minutes had me a little bored, but once they switch the story up to Finn's life where he steps into the casino, it starts getting a little interesting. You start by wondering if he's cheating his way to money, then the existence of the high cards gets revealed to you for the first time. That same episode is where all the killings for cards start happening, and oh boy, I was not expecting it. Every episode from then on had me clenching my toes in anticipation, ESPECIALLY towards the end of the show.

I'm a sucker for action, and if you are too, I cannot recommend this anime more. Chris Redgrave gave me emotional damage by the last episode. One of the most slept-on anime I have ever positively experienced. Finn might be on the weak side compared to every other character in the series, but the moments where he does shine with his 2 card are the times where they need a miracle the most. My favorite thing about this anime is how there are unique powers for each card, and each character (including side characters) has a decent amount of depth to them. The middle or near-end of the anime might be its weak point in terms of entertainment, though I had some good laughs. I can't wait for season two!
