Summary:
The Japanese Ministry of Defense has an anti-paranormal special forces group called the Paranormal Disaster Countermeasure Headquarters. They're the ones responsible to protect Japanese soil and its people from supernatural and paranormal events. However, things didn't go so well in one of their missions, which leads to intervention by the Ministry of Enviroment's Supernatural Disaster Countermeasures Division after the PDCH has sustained large numbers of casualties battling demons.
After seeing all the positive reviews on Ga-Rei-Zero I decided to check it out. After just watching the first episode alone, I knew that Ga-Rei-Zero would be amazing. After that first episode I was left with a speechless, "wtf!" kinda feeling. The story itself is very emotional and rather sad. Although there is a little humor in the show, it is very limited. The dialogue and character interactions were a little iffy at times. There would be times when Kagura, on of the main characters, would say stuff that just isn't necessary or is just over-dramatic. The animation is really well done, especially when it comes to the fighting sequences and character design of the spirit beasts that are summoned. Overall the show is really entertaining, the story is very unique, and unpredictable. If you're unsure about watching this show, just watch the first episode. That is all you need to make your decision of if you want to watch this show all the way through or not.
