-Story-
It's mostly bs. It starts with young Ouma Shuu joining some "terrorist" group. Afterwards almost every episode of the first part, is made out of spectacular effects/art, explosions, betrayals aaaand a lot of crying and self-pity.
The first 12-ish episodes could've been reduced to max 5 if it wasn't for all those explosions, shouting, running and crying. The first part of the story felt more like a filler than an actual part of the story. At times it does seem that the story advances too fast but that is only because they SKIP some parts, frankly most of the first part is made of the main character Shuu crying (I did say this before but it annoyed the shit out of me).
The second part starts with a more determined male character, someone that does what needs to be done for the best of the majority. While it seems that they worked just a bit more on the story part of the second half, it does have way more "fuck logic" moments.
It's just a pity that I can't spoil the ending but the last episode simply blew my mind, in a bad way.
While others did say this too but the story is full of cliche's, maybe they tried too hard, that's why they fucked up the story so bad.
-Art-
10/10 nothing to say here (judge by it's cover, right?)
-Sound-
Sound effects 10/10 but that's normal I guess...
They did try a lot, nothing to say, even the main female character has an original song of her own.
While I really like most of supercell's / ryo's music I didn't like any of the songs in this anime, but hey maybe it's just me.
That makes an 8 for sounds for me in the end.
-Characters-
At least we have some development on Shuu's side.
The problem with the characters in that most of them are simply without any personality. Seriously, it's like all of them are simple "vessels".
Shuu is an annoying piece of crap in the first part, the good part is that Shuu does develop a little bit, well at least he doesn't cry that much towards the ending.
Inori... she is simply nothing, I mean she is beautiful in the anime but that's kind of everything that you can say about her. For the most part all that I can remember about her, is her saying "Shuu" and that's it.
Characters 3/10
-Enjoyment-
In the first part I felt many times that I should get up from my bed and skip those really annoying crying/self-pity/ full of effects but nothing else parts, but meh I'm too lazy for that so I had to watch it all. You can imagine how much I did enjoy this anime, right?
3/10
-Overall-
Maybe I simply expected a lot more out of this than I should have. All in all I do believe that this failed because they did try a lot. We all know that sometimes when we try too hard we simply fail.
Overall I gave this a 6 mostly because of the really "wtf" moments towards the end, otherwise it would've been a 6.5 (which means 7 to me).
