For the starter, at first episode i was really not hooked up by it, maybe because how the lips was drawn or maybe i still hasn't see something interesting. But as i watched the next episode, the story start to move, it start to show how the characters in the show has different uhmm... let's say perspective. The main characters are not ordinary, they're different from every supporting characters, they know how to question the order, or open their mouth when they think that the order given was not right. But that was the reason why this show if very unique in its own way. The characters cover each other up, what they lack or what was their weakness, while the supporting characters well literally support the main characters, like they are questioning the main characters why they do this or do that even though it's not very normal to do. The show was very balance the story was not dragged too long nor too short, well maybe it was dragged too short, So i'm hoping that the MADHOUSE announce a 2nd season for this anime, since the plot is very interesting. The plot was actually about ikta wanting just to protect the people he cared, not the whole country, he also have a different perspective about heroes. But as fate lead him, he was starting to deviate the path he wanted. First he became a soldier, second he start to show his potential as a great general/tactician, and third, at the last episode, he was assigned that he should lose to a war intentionally so that the country will be purified at its core. But if he do that, he will be an enemy of the igsem family, he will become an enemy of his childhood friend yatori and he will follow the path of his father. Well the stories revolve around military, it tells about how the military commanders used their own agenda and how greedy they are, or how fucked up. It tells that some commanders were being praised or climbing at the higher rank even though they aren't doing anything at all, even giving order they just passed it to their right hand general. They are raising to their ranks even though they don't deserve it or they aren't qualify in the position just because they are sucking someone's finger. This was a kind of anime that has a messages about the real world, about politics and military
