After a fast start this anime slows down its' pace to weave its tale. There might be some people that won't have patience for that. Personally, after the first episode I was intrigued enough to keep watching this. It is part horror and part gangster anime, which is nice original approach at the very least. The animation is decent but even with all the action the story does seem to drag a bit for me, that is, until it didn't. This tale finishes strong and it is really worth wading through. A painting is more than a single stroke of the brush and cannot be truly appreciated or criticized until the painter has finshed his work of art. Another unusual aspect of this anime is that it was inspired by a video game (usually it is the other way around), and a third-person shooter no less.
Plot Summary: Brandon Heat, a silent and passive man, is living a laid back life with his friends. He's got his eyes on Maria, but her uncle forbids their relationship. After the brutal murder of his friends and Maria's father, Brandon is on the run together with the only friend he has left—Harry McDowell. When he finds out custody over Maria has been taken by Millennion, the largest mafia syndicate in town, he and Harry decide to join the syndicate. He goes through many hardships after joining the syndicate but he is willing to risk everything as long as he can be close to Maria.
