Inadequate development and an overemphasis on looking cool hamper a series which otherwise offers good plotting and animation and some sharp action sequences.

Just because an anime is doing something fairly unique doesn't mean it can't bore you straight into your grave.

The story underneath is a universal one, powerful and expertly told. Viewers should be prepared for a devastating experience with a lot of challenging concepts that pile on hard and fast as the finale approaches.
