Brutal But Effective

Excellent
Story: 5

Entertainment: 5
A true Japanese love story disrupted by the conflicts of family I mirrors Romeo and Juliet however has its own flavor and Identity.

The story is sharp and reals you in despite is somewhat changing speeds of the story. It also makes you want to know the next part of the story

the Dialogue I found in either Japanese or English was spactacular.. not since Bleach or Deathnote has a series nailed all the voices in both languages.

The Animation is very good however I will note the characters can get out of sorts though that is preference I do feel the pastel doesnt quite fit the realism of the series... while shown little its still very odd though is a minor flaw on the overal wondeful Feal. I will say true to Animation Markmanship they made the eyes of each character very expressive however in this series are not over the top.

The Entertainment is tricky. It will real you in and compell you to want to finish it. But be warned, the Series is Sad. I call it brutal for the fact it doesnt try to shy away from its subject matter- being true to form and fantastic in its dilivery though note this show isnt for everyone..

If you like Nija/Shinobi battling, brutal shadow wars, champion battles or the struggle of Love to try to overcome insurmountable odds in tragic fall out... then this show is your nitch.

Brutal but spactacular.
