The story is poor, which is very mainstream these days, false acquisitions, black mail or what are you call it.. It's too common and the main character are not complex in characteristic which is weak, pity and less determined, I personally hate those kind of person that become a winner or the story refers to.....
but, it done good with Shiro and other deadman such as mocking bird, owl etc,
,For Dialogue, well, it's to common....
Animation, done good in this anime, not "too disappointing" Even the soundtrack is boring...
Entertainment well, it's worth wasting your time, (show less)

pros
+ interesting but twisted concept, shows the "darkness of human nature"
+ characters make you feel with them
+ good graphics
cons
- deviates from the manga and stops at the best part
- animation has its hiccups
- unnecessarily cruel in places

conclusion: first i have to say is that this anime features absolutely insane cruelty. it's not so bloody it could gain the title of 'second elfen lied' but i felt like it's unnecessarily brutal in places. 17+.
now for the real comment... in a twisted way, it's interesting enough if you're in for the darkness/brutality. graphics are good, the charas are designed so you're able to actually empathise with them, and the whole anime shows a look into "human nature"/the darkness of it. interesting in a twisted way, but personally, i prefer the manga, for the simple fact that this anime got cut short, aka stops right where it starts getting interesting.

peace. (show less)
