Merciless!

I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from this anime, but it proved to be very entertaining. I especially like the use of irony and dark humor throughout.
You don't get a lot of backstory on the characters, but they reveal just enough to pull you in (p.s. Dutch is a total badass). It isn't the kind of series you'd choose for complex, dramatic characters anyway; but there's no shortage of fast-paced shoot-em-up action.
The plot has a political side which makes it a little harder to follow, but the action is so epic you'll probably want to watch it again anyway.
All in all, a great anime. Plenty of violence and humorous jabs, and an awesome opening theme. I'm excited to watch the continuation.
