For those that think the writing is “messy” and that the story lines “don’t connect”, I have to disagree with you. This story just takes a little more brain power to piece together. I personally find the complexity engaging.
The animation is great. The cinematic fight scenes are masterful. The characters are complex as is the story. I had no idea what was happening for the first 5 episodes and I was still completely engaged. This anime unravels its story in an unusual and insightful way. The writing always kept me guessing.
The only reason I didn’t give this anime a 10 is because of its pacing. I could have used a little more time to breath between plot points. But then again, I’m a sucker for good fillers ;)
Honestly, this anime is a breath of fresh air from the one-dimensional shows we see in the “Top 10” on Netflix these days.
If you want an anime that engages your mind and thrills your senses, I highly recommend giving this one a try.
