Because the studio Madhouse produced this, there is unlikely to be a 2nd season.....

• Great OP & ED!
• Great OST! (BGM)
• The animation is great!
• morally compromised characters

• 20:30 interesting use of OST.....
• 23:25 nice graphics/animation
• Would have rated at 11/11 (Masterpiece) but the plot just wasn't quite good enough.....
• The dub is remarkably good.....
  ADR Director: Stephanie Sheh
  Assistant ADR Director: Anthony Tortorici

• Psychological depth.
• I always admire internal monologues.

• Animation has not aged well.
• How does the detective not notice the flying bat???!!!
• Maybe it's just me, but a detective just would not act that way. Also, what's with the miniskirt?

• CON: Zwei improbably survives being shot.
• PRO: Deaths prior to ep.#20 are compelling.
• CON: Episode #20 ("Homeland") is just so implausible.
  I have three episodes left and all of the episodes from episode #20 break the required suspension of disbelief. The final three will have to somehow knock it out of the ballpark, and right now I'm doubtful that they can.....
• PRO: KOKIA OP & ED (and the OST as well.....)
  It's a bad sign when (3 episodes away from finishing) the OST & KOKIA's OP/ED are the highlights of the series.....
• CON: The series is a goddamned commercial for the source material! (In this case a visual novel.)
