Everything about the anime is enjoyable, bearable, sad, happy, funny and so on. The anime creates these emotional attachments to characters. When a friend of Train Heartnet dies, you would cry as they never deserved to die. The series likes to flip all the cliches on their head, the best one would be train's goal: taking 'revenge' against Creed (not in the 'normal' way, Train does something irrational to our thinking)

The only thing that is questionable is the last story arc as it is just rushed and is out of pace. Like most 1 season animes there is a sudden conclusion (in this case the last story arc gets resolved in the last episode). All the fights in the last story arc are very disappointing. (show less)

In all honesty I was somewhat disappointed with this anime, I'd read the manga beforehand and absolutely adored it. The manga is tremendous, then I came across the anime.. Hmmm, it's not that good. The animation isn't too good and I found myself not really caring about what was going on. The story is good, the cast of characters are extremely lovable and humorous, but there was just something lacking in the entertainment department. Not too sure what, but something about it just wasn't quite right. My overall advice? I suggest watching at least the first episode, but I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to continue. (show less)
