Member Review

iv read the manga and it is way better (even though it is not finished yet it is farther along than this) the fight scenes are good but you really lose a lot of the feel of the manga with this anime, and its not as sophisticated. also, like many animes based off of mangas this suffers from tie off the anime really badly at 26 episodes disease. the characters are great, and the actual plot is great, also the action and "special abilities" are well thought and and very cool

if you like this i highly recommend the manga (which happens to be my favorite manga)

7/10
