First things first, for all these "it's not original" sanctimonious nerds out there, this anime is based off a Manga that came out before most of you were born or were still in diapers, it was telling the story before the story became a basic template. It also does a FAR better job with it than just about anything that has come after it, besides something doesn't always have to be original to appreciate it for what it is. Anyway, the anime is incredible! Expertly balanced with light hearted moments, touching moments, and of course awesome action while keeping a dark and serious undertone. Watching the bond between Ushio and Tora grow is always entertaining, and the art style, monsters, and surprisingly deep detailed story are all top notch. I can't say enough good things about this series, if you enjoy anime then do yourself a favor and watch it, don't listen to any of the whiny hater reviews, you won't be disappointed.
