I wasn't crazy about the first episode of this one but like many anime it was setting the prologue for a much more interesting story. The main characters are well done and the journey that you take with them is entertaining. One thing that you can't stress enough in a good anime are the villains. It is a lot easier to love the good guys if you hate the bad guys. There are too many characters in this anime for proper development of all the minor ones given the episode constraints but they actually do a pretty good job of it. There are light moments in this anime that blend nicely with the action and drama so I found this anime well balanced. Overall it was a decent production, maybe the animation could have been better, the english audio of this encode was a little low and I had to turn up the volume and maybe the writing could have been a little sharper in areas but these were all minor things really. The best test of a good anime is after you finished watching it. Were you glad you saw it or do you wish you had passed on it? I felt pretty good about watching this.
