This anime flew right past me on its original release back in 2012, but I can say I'm so surprised at what
I watched. This anime was marvelous because of its production, animation, and story. This isn't a regular dark/horror anime its a plot driven anime that has a constant dark vibe around it. It showcases many genres spectacularly such as; coming of age, losses and betrayal, romance, drama, comedy, and through all these genres always manages to put a bit of an ominous feel in it. Now this constant ominous feel isn't something that a viewer would get annoyed by because it's not thrown in your face all the time, it is is subtly added in a main point during an episode and eventually it grows into a major point. Now this in turn makes the viewer more interested and suspenseful about this dark theme. However, this anime is a longer one that does progress rather slower but I found that it just made me want to continue more and more because of the suspense at the end of each episode. The story really drives itself through all 25 episodes and makes just grow a relationship with the main character and surprisingly to me a relationship with the protagonist( villain) because I him grow to the state of being the villain. One key trait that this anime made me feel was sympathy for the protagonist side,and you could say in the type of way Tokyo Ghoul makes you feel conflicted about which side was in the right humans or ghouls. Because of all those reasons listed above I found this anime to be one of the best I have ever seen and if you don't think that, that doesn't mean shit then simply go on my account and scroll through the dozens of completed anime's I have seen. This anime is one that not everyone can appreciate to the furthest extent but rather something that you might want to re-watch if you're newer to anime but one that an experienced watcher or an enjoyer of story and character development would totally enjoy.
