    Watchable

    If you want something exceptional this one is not for you. I watched it slowly and used it to fall asleep stimes. The plot is weak and blurry with too many characters. Imo the show manages to demonstrate the eternal human struggle between good and evil. And that is what i liked. The importance of our soul and the way we feel inside. Overall the idea was good, but the outcome could and should have been better.

    Weak plot

    The plot , characters, everything is a little boring.

    One you could live without...

    Let me preface this by saying, once I start watching something I have to see it through. This is one of the reasons I'm particular about what I watch. This anime really ought to have not been made. It's pretty dull and almost does the entire anime industry a disservice. I rated and wrote a synopsis for every episode so check that out if you want to get a feel for what happens in this series I won't spoil it in case you think I'm just hard to please. The mindlessness in the premise, the way the story unfolds and the like it's as if someone watched Deathnote in its prime plus some of Attack on Titan with a little Tokyo Ghoul and said hold my beer! Not in a good way though. The shows I've just mentioned have some major flaws (not doubting they are entertaining) so if someone found the path between them it would be a good show. This is not it. Mindless slaughter and characters as disposable as paper plates there is nothing holding this story together. The animation is clunky during fights and overall as I said the resources might've been better served elsewhere. Knowing how much time it takes to bring an anime to life gives me no joy in effectively trashing it but this does little to justify your time. Move on to better shows. The ratings I gave the episodes were based on the first episode onwards not against other anime in case you were wondering. So a 6 in an episode is a 6 compared to other episodes within the series and so on...

    stop watching it after first season. and regret I even started.

    I searched for a fun anime at netflix, and I saw this title. there are too many characters, and they are all dumb so you cant connect to them. The animation is repeated like 80's cartoon, it reminded me of He-man. each time Gay (gai) transformed his hand to sword, the same moon can be seen in the background.

    Thoroughly enjoyable

    I enjoyed watching this one quite a bit. Its not overly deep and the story is a bit fragmented but it is still a fun fantasy Anime. While it attempts to portray the inner struggle of its characters while they fight to retain their humanity and do good, it doesnt really manage to actually show true emotional struggle. The Artwork is lovely and the action scenes are quite enjoyable.

    The dialogs are again not the most articulated, but they do serve their purpose. All in all it gives you the feeling that it can be much more than what it is and yet it is still great to watch.

    Sometimes simple fun is great fun and this one is fun ! - it has me waiting to see the next part for sure.
