This anime is set in a semi-post-apocalyptic Japan, after Lost Christmas and an outbreak of the Apocalypse Virus. Japan is now ruled with an iron fist and is under a quarantine. GHQ is a group dedicated to wiping out the virus, meaning killing anybody who has not been vaccinated, and thus been infected. The terrorist group, or in this case the heroes, named "Funeral Parlor" or "Undertaker" is comprised up of some badass people: A "hero of thieves" leader, an idol for propaganda and combat, a gun expert, a bezerker and a reluctant hero, dragged in by unforeseeable incidents.
This was a one and true masterpiece of an anime, which has set a bar for all other anime in its art style, and was the first anime I had the pleasure to watch.
This anime had me going from the get-go, when a half naked idol is seen singing a very sad song in a music video. It then flashed between three different scenes: The music video, the MC watching the video, and the idol running away with Endlaves (Mechs) persuing her, it created a deep sense of mystery and amazement.
What was really a standout is how reluctant the MC is, how he cowers and acts pathetic, and when he finally does something heroic, he gets dragged down into chaos. As well as a heroin with no sence of emotions, revealed to be a "fake", but it is truly amazing to see how these two's relationship develops.
Just some friendly advice, this ending will leave all but the soul-less upset and depressed, it is an ending worth watching over again, with self-sacrifice and MCs dying everywhere =(.
To sum it up, this is not a fantastic story line, in fact its not even good, but the execution of it was past amazing, the art and animation are the best I have ever seen, and it will give a great idea of pain, suffering, loss.
