A wise man once said: "There is no Tsukihime anime." His august thought, pregnant with knowledge and brightness can fit any visual novel adaptation perfectly. To ruin a magnificent novel by an unspeakable, abominable, despicable, damned monstrosity of an adaptation is a grave sin one could say. Great books don't make great movies, or series in this instance. So I say: "There is no Dies Irae anime." Really just read the VN, it's available on Steam, you won't regret spending those sixty hours reading it. It is a magnificent story filled with so much thought you won't be able to remove it from your thoughts (unless you don'tlike reading then I guess nothing can help at this point). I am still hoping it will be remade, like what happened with DEEN's Fate.

I can get why people have a problem with this show. The pace is quite uneven, the story isn´t that coherent, much is not explained, and the clear haram vibe can be a turn off. I haven´t read/played the popular visual novel that the anime adaption is built on, so I can´t say if it´s a good adaption or not. However, I actually quite liked the show, its just demand that you are focused on the bits and pieces of information you get, and that you puzzle them together yourself. But before we dig into the actual review, some background information can be good. Let´s firstunderstand the title “Dies Irae”, the show actually makes more sense when you know the meaning of it. “Dies Irae” is contrary to what many believe (me at the beginning as well), is not German, it´s Latin. Directly translated it means “Day of wrath”, and I found out when googling some, that it is a real psalm text about the absolute dooms day, which has an old catholic origin, and were translated to German in the 1700th. Dies Irae, is the day the world will be dissolved in ashes, much like the Vikings “Ragnarök”. Which basically telling you which direction this show will take. Now when we cleared that out, let´s take a look at how “Dies Irae” were as a show. The fractions of the show that let you in on the plot, weren´t that bad at all. An old society of super powerful mages, with some dark plans and a big end game, the origin of the main character Ren and his friends Kasumi and Shirou, the connection with the mages powers and human souls, and the techniques and incantations they use to preform magic, are all some interesting parts. But it´s just that, it´s just fractions of those bits throughout the show, which never were explored or explained to an extent that would have taking the show from “this is kind of cool” to “kind of really damn good” level. As for the 0 episode, if you didn´t get it the first time, re-watch it after the 7th episode, it fits pretty good there, and the episode will make since. The show has some of its focus on other parts, such as the harem part (yes, it´s very harem influenced, hence the several routes), surprisingly much slice of life, and some fights that felt kind of pointless in the beginning, besides present many of the villains as psycho sadistic assholes (with a few exceptions). Personal opinions aside, many of the characters are stereotypes with a twist, and used as such. For example, the childhood friend that wishes she now would be teenager MC´s girlfriend, MC´s rival male childhood friend, and a loli-looking tsundere senpai. But at the same time, I weren´t bored with them, they had enough importance in what´s was unfolding, and interesting enough personalities. Some explanations of the circumstances and certain characters place in the story are provided during the watch, but they could´ve have focused much more on those parts to really make it interesting. Besides that, I actually looked forward to watching a new episode each week. “Dies Irae” grow steadily on me, and had something that made me not only keep watching it, but looking forward to it. And that may been partly because of the plot development, it takes a little bit of a lift in the 7th episode, and partly because of the soundtrack. Some of the soundtrack is some real high-class pieces; German classic-music-orchestras, sometimes with some good opera. Which fitted the atmosphere of “Dies Irae” really well, with the German inspired uniforms, plot-base, and names. And after googling some more, I found out that the incantations the mages preform is individual, and are based on famous German literature and operas like Wagner and Goethe (the quote which is seen in every episode, just after the opening, is from Goethe´s two pieced tragedy). The rest isn´t too bad either, with some nice rock pieces fitting the darker theme. The opening "Kadenz" by Yui Sakakibara, is engaging and presents the mode and spirit of the show well. It´s a lot of characters and connections, which the visuals do a good job of displaying. With the highlight being the ending song, "Opera” by Phero☆Men. If not watch the show, just look that one up, it’s pretty great, it was the best part of the show according to me. The VA´s were well matched, with a nice sounding Japanese accent. I liked the art and animation. The character design seemed to be somewhat similar to Kouta Hirano´s works (the man behind Hellsing), with their specific hair styles, eye and face shapes, long limbs and bodies, gloves and uniforms with Nazi-Germen design. Which is in my opinion isn´t a bad thing, I´m a big fan of his work. To see the similar style in another show, was just a plus. The animation, by studio A.C.G.T, is absolutely decent, it often looks pretty good. Nice colours, backgrounds, effects for the super natural/magic parts, and the fight scenes were fluid and interesting enough. So, to round things up, I actually did enjoy most of my time with “Dies Irae”. Especially after I looked up some information, that gave the show the platform it needed. Some will be explained throughout this first 11 episodes, and since the show is scheduled for at least 6 more episodes (ONA), it has the opportunity to grow in that department, and give the show a solid feeling. The soundtrack, opening, and ending were worth the time on its own, I´m still a bit surprised about how good they were. And the Kouta Hirano inspired art were a clear plus as well. I will definitively check out the visual novel it based on, I haven´t had the craving for a game in a while, but Dies definitively awoke up that feeling a bit.

This show is a disaster. This isn't something I say lightly. On a basic level Dies Irae is a complete and utter failure on almost every possible level. And knowing that (at the time of this review) there are still web exclusive episodes left is a harrowing thought. I have not read the visual novel, in fact I was dared to watch this show, having not read it. As somebody who hasn't read the VN Dies Irae is baffling. Characters teleport around, change powers and appearances, and have momentary appearances in the show for seconds before randomly becoming important later. Of course, this is because muchof the VN content has been cut out, this is an adaptation of the final route. (Although strangely there is anime original content too.) Even still, Dies Irae's "plot" manages to be simultaneously simple and overly complex, with lots of extra, needless characters with unknown motivations. Even a cursory flashback isn't afforded to those who aren't already intimately familiar. And with good VN adaptations out there, it isn't good enough these days. But even looking beyond my own ignorance of the source material, this anime is a mess. The animation quality ranges from mid-budget 2005 harem show to local YouTube animator getting his hands on a CGI program. Characters are consistent in them being completely off model, the CGI is laughable and jarring, and the show can't even afford some frames for the fight scenes. For an action show there is a severe lack of action. The characters are very rarely explained, the vast majority of the important backstory for them being cut from the show in favour of more CGI skeletons. The main character is incredibly boring, and his friends and allies even more so. The enemy side shows a little more personality, but there's so many of them that you'll quickly forget names and faces. They rotate out every other episode meaning none of them have much impact and even fewer do anything of significance to the narrative. Any momentary enjoyment that you might feel from the over dramatic presentation and bad German will quickly be removed as the show bores you to death with long episodes consisting entirely of exposition, that fail to actually explain anything. Be warned, the chuuni appeal does not last for long. The sound sucks, with some really phoned in voice performances from everybody involved. Avoid this dud.

I'm proud to tell everybody that this anime has a potential to become a masterpiece, people complained about it for being too short or cutting important points in the VN, but the most common thing people said about the anime are sentences like: "What did just Happened ?" "What did I just Watched", etc... However "in my case" I'm not confused at all, the story is easy to understand, and I'm not even joking... I could only advise people to read the description/sypnosis first especially before watching and not skipping the important EP 0. This anime is one of the most unique I've ever watched... Itcombines almost all of my favourite topics: World War 2, the French Revolution - History for short..., Philosophy, Magick, Life and Death, the Round Table, Norse Mythology, etc. It contains some intriguing elements, it is also important to analyse the subtitles/character's words in order not to get lost... Also people should understand that, this anime was made, with the help of FUNDRAISING, so we should be able to understand why the anime was made that way. The art of the anime translates the overall budget as you can see, there some parts that are not smooth (in terms of frames) but still this does not mean the anime should be labelled as one of the worse... Story +300/10 - Its unique on its own, the theme and atmosphere is very serious, it has a dark tone at almost all the time, etc. Art: 9/10 - As stated above, there are some parts where frames are not much smooth, but this will never be the case for me... it's still great... Sound: +250/10 - The Opening Song matched the anime well, BG Sounds may at often times not amuse the audience, well that being said we can't please everybody... but for me they still done a great job. Character: +500/10 - Even though there's not much backstory shown, most of the characters are unique on its own... Enjoyment: 100/10 - I said it before and I'll say it again... the enjoyment this anime gives is just fine and great, one of the most unique anime shows I ever watched but of course not the best but absolutely not the worse. Overall 10,000/10 Its quite easy to understand (I haven't even played the VN mind you...), has a unique way of storytelling, all I can say is they had done a great job for this anime... If only the studio have enough budget, this will be one of the Greatest Anime Ever Made... I still hope for that time to come.... Note: This is my first time writing a review on MAL, I apologised for my bad grammars... ^__^ just stating my opinion...

This anime makes absolutely no sense. Random events without phasing are interwoven with random monologues that sound like deep philosophical musings that in reality have the depth of a puddle and lead to absolutely nothing. Even the MC says a few times that he "doesn't know what's going on" - I didn't think I could be so unanimous with him. I don't consider myself the king of intellectuals, but I'm not an idiot either. And here the authors are clearly counting on the latter. Generally, everything that does not come down to a fight scene is considered unnecessary and they simply skip a few scenesjust so that there will be a fight. The animation is as stiff as at an alcohol-free wedding. In contrast, the drawing has nothing to be ashamed of. The monologues make no sense here and their only goal is to be as... edgy as possible. It's heartbreaking that the music is so atmospheric here, because it is completely wasted as a backing for completely uninteresting and shallow scenes. The anime looks and sounds like a very cheap 3,000-word fanfic written by a fourteen-year-old with the adolescent syndrome. The invented names and titles taken from history, mythology, famous books and occult pastes were supposed to sound "cool" but in reality they simply expose it all to ridicule (Zarathustra and Mephistopheles in German uniforms made my psyche a little weak). In addition, someone thought it would be a great idea to intersperse it with loose Ecchi scenes that fit here like a fist to the nose. Until episode 6, it is not really clear what this is all about. Later on, it does not get much better, but I started to catch on that the characters sometimes had flashes of genius and instead of spouting pseudo-philosophical drivel, they simply showed their backstories and presented their motives and goals (which is an absolute rarity here!). Boredom follows boredom and the subsequent fights do nothing but irritate the viewer even more. The only interesting episode is episode 11 because it doesn't cause any embarrassment in the viewer (which is something new after watching the previous ten). To sum up: It was supposed to be philosophical, cool, edgy, German, bloody, occult and dark - but it came out boring, embarrassing and without any sense. Blatant logical errors, caricaturally mutilated lines in German, lack of phasing and a complete lack of explanation of anything make it all simply terribly difficult to watch. The only thing that somehow raises this rating is the drawing, music and max 2 stories of secondary characters that were even interesting. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this anime.

Overall, Dies Irae is not an anime for everyone. Looking through comments before watching the show created doubt and gave me the feeling of searching for the imperfections in the anime. Beginning with the story, it is very complex. There are many different stories from different perspectives of characters that are followed and all intertwine with each other, however, it all surprisingly fits together. I have watched close to mid 200s, maybe even 300 series and it required quite a bit of attention to detail to fully understand the show. If you can follow along with stories well, and create sense out of it, then Idefinitely recommend this show. If anything, I wouldn't recommend comparing this anime to others due to its diversity. Both the art and sound were very good. Battles were enjoyable to watch, and sounds fit in perfectly with the art. Character development through the show is on the higher end. I enjoyed how more and more is known about the characters as the anime progressed. The main characters all had great development and the explanation of the characters by Kraft explained a lot. There were unnecessary development of side characters, which did add some confusion to the overall story, but it did help in understanding intentions. To sum things up, Dies Irae is a really controversial anime in the way that it touches on Nazi topics and is very complex in itself. Do not let the low rating of the anime discourage you to watch it though. If you want to see if this is a good anime for you, I'd recommend watching around 3 to 5 episodes, not including episode 0. Really hoping for a second season for this anime to see what happens after the ending and just to see what happens with everything in general.

I discover Dies Irae with this anime, and I have only one thing to say: I was not disappointed. I take this anime as an introduction to my future reading of the work. What to think of this Anime? I liked all the characters, each with its history, its characteristics, its personality and its background that I will enjoy discovering in the visual novel. I do not understand why there is so much hate on this adaptation, especially since the producers have totally assumed to have great problems. If it starts on a crowfunding, how can you believe for a single second that the adaptation will beof high quality? On a Visual Novel which is very long and has several purposes? Instead of yelling like idiots no matter how, look at the bottom of the thing to understand the current situation. I think we have to see these episodes as a test, the next 6 ONA episodes will be there to deepen the story and I'm happy. Overall, I am satisfied. Endearing characters, very good music, a perfectible animation but not ugly. I think we criticize this anime very easily without understanding the difficulties behind, it sure changes the anime fan service nowadays with stories seen and reviews, and it does not bother the same people criticizing Dies Irae. .. and studios that do not have the means to produce good adaptations of Visual Novel do not take up the budget, publish a really bad adaptation, and for the case of Dies Irae, producers have to assume until end, we ask for money via a Crowfunding to at least please the fan and try to bring a new audience for the works of Light, and who is pointed at and criticized? It's them strangely, and I think it's stupid, yes I say that vulgarly, but it's really stupid for a studio that has at least produce to please the fan, to assume all the difficulties of production but despite all have done that to please the fan. I can not wait for a second season.

._. -_- ._. -_- ._. -_- ._. You know how long I trying to finish this anime and its only 11 episodes lololol start ---------> A religious gear of complete uncertainty. * When I finally completed the anime I never thought I can see "?" pop up out of nowhere. However I was enjoying the scattering of the plot that you can't piece together " lmao ". All my questions being left unanswered, O how I love being tortured by misleading and uncomprehend able plots.. That was a joke!!!!!! how angering!!! The story is all over the place. Too much going on. Not enough conclusions. * This could have been a really good anime. I kid you not, in the right hands, it would have gone far. It really did catch my attention from episode 6 But I see now why this anime has such a low rating. Its confusing to say the least. So much potential wasted. It really is a frustrating anime. I was hoping to get some answers by the time the season finish but no such luck.... * The bloodshed in this was real nice. I have an unhealthy obsession with everything dark. smh * I love the soundtrack troubling and mysterious. * Characters are to far away, there is no connection between them and I. Its like you want to understand what they going through but u can't because of how far they are. I think is because of how pompous they are portrayed and it all leads back to the scattered plot. I wasn't a fan of the art at all.....to weak and in my eyes a bit pretty. Probably something wrong with my eyes, who knows? Did I enjoy it? hmmmmm IDK I don't think so but at the same time I think I had a partial liking to it. Warning * watch at your own risk, possible emotional breakdown at the end. This may include questioning one's self : Why did I waste my time watching this, where is the ending or the beginning and so on *

I don't know why people didn't like this anime, I didn't play the game, but just talking about the anime, it was a very good surprise and the character designs are very good, I don't know if it's my questionable taste speaking louder or the anime it's really good. but at the time it came out it was better than a lot of things we had, imagine now that our level of comparison is things far below the average of the past the story is good and I had no problems understanding the narrative, so I recommend everyone to give it a chance even with the lowrating, after all the ratings for SNK 4 and JJK 2 are high and they are pretty rubbish in all terms. Don't go too far into people's evaluations and watch it, believe me, it's worth it watch it

Story: Fairly interesting, although incomplete by the last episode. It's not nearly as confusing as people are making it out to be, though I can understand thinking that it's confusing because all of the information simply isn't there. If anything will leave you scratching your head it's the last episode, which concludes "in the middle of the climax", as best as I can describe it. It's interesting enough and has some unique concepts, perhaps remnants of the critically acclaimed visual novel. Still, the way it is handled falls short of "good", and without the ONA this is clearly an unfinished production. Art: Once again, fair.It's not a high budget production, and this shows in both the art and the voice acting, but it has its moments. Acceptable. Sound: The voice acting is overall fairly weak, and the background music doesn't stand out in any particular way. Passable. The guillotine song is kind of cool. Character: Eh. They're not extremely well developed and come off as pretty generic, but that's fine. Some of the bad guys are interesting. Enjoyment/Overall: An alright anime. Not something I would recommend you go out of your way to watch, but not a total failure. I will watch the ONA to see if the story gets fleshed out more. There's plenty of better stuff to spend 11 episodes on, though. Be warned that the (Funi?) translation is pretty bad, and kind of ruins a couple of scenes with awkward lines and misunderstandings.

Dies Irae is actually not as confusing as everyone says. In fact, I find it very smart. Many things are not directly told but if you have watched enough anime you will be able to grasp the situation of what is going on. Although the themes and genre are typical, the execution of these ideas are brought in a dark and sometimes gory atmosphere which supports it really well. The characters are really unique and are over powered in their own ways which makes it really interesting to watch. However I agree with most people that there is not enough development and makes them see alot like only supporting characters. S0me scenes are kind of awkward especially with the soundtrack that is not always fitting, but nevertheless it was a good watch. DESPERATELY WAITING FOR THE NEXT FEW EPISODES TO AIR IN JULY WHOS WITH ME

Plot/Story: 6/10 The plot of "Dies irae" presents a challenge for viewers, even for seasoned veterans of the genre. It revolves around a group of characters whose lives are intertwined across generations due to the influence of gods. While the plot is interesting, it can be confusing and complex. The adaptation overall respects the franchise, but it may require some effort to fully grasp. Animation/Design: 8/10 The animation in "Dies irae" is impressive, particularly after Episode 7. This is where the anime shines the most, especially in its intense and visually stunning fight scenes. Each encounter is a feast for the eyes, featuring expansive and destructive battlefields. Thepowers displayed by the characters are remarkable, thanks to the talented artists behind the show. Characters: 5/10 The characters in "Dies irae" are relatively basic and predictable once the plot unfolds. While they are easy to define, their motives can remain unclear, making it challenging to fully understand why they are driven to their actions. Fortunately, by the end of the show, the characters' motivations become more apparent. Audio/Soundtrack: 8/10 The soundtrack of "Dies irae" is a standout element, adding to the overall experience. The orchestral tracks used throughout the series fit well with the theme of the show. Despite relying on the same four tracks across all 17 episodes, the music is not tiresome and enhances the atmosphere effectively. Honorable Mentions: "Dies irae" showcases impressive designs reminiscent of Warhammer 40k, featuring large monsters and cathedrals. Review Conclusion: I recommend giving "Dies irae" a chance, but it requires patience as the show picks up its momentum later on. The late-game payoff is worth the investment. The ending may vary depending on individual preferences, so I won't spoil anything. If you're not fully engaged by Episode 9, it may be worth considering dropping the show.

Dies Irae is absolutely one of my favorite typical dark fantasy visual novel, i got excited after hearing this one got anime adaptation... however, my hope got down so fast after watching the first episode. (i'm going to avoid the spoiler) Story 4/10: Dies Irae has a great story, however.. the anime skip so much detail and feels like they just throw a pieces of puzzle at a random place, you could enjoy watching it more IF you played the VN, but if you didn't.... trust me, you can barely understand the story, or worse.. you can't understand it at all. Plot twist is one of its greatestasset(as a VN).. but the anime twisted the plot so much that you can't even see it. Art 3/10: Nothing to say, the Art looks poor for even for 2000's anime. Sound 6/10: The Voice Actor/Actress is good, they enlist a pretty good cast right here, all the theme used really fit its natural dark fantasy atmosphere. When the theme kicked in some of the fight scene(eventhough the animation are kinda poor), it feels intense and could give you a chill down your spine. Character 6/10: The "MAIN" Character is probably the lion part of the series, First.. you need to know that the anime is based on Marie Route, personally i think.. this route is where Ren got most character development. The anime really did a good job with Sakura and Marie, and shiro too, although some support character looks rather bland and need more screentime, but it's fair at least. Enjoyment 3/10: This probably isn't the case if you watch it several times, but for the first-timer, you probably couldn't enjoy it that much... this is a kind of anime that required you to watch it several times before you could solve the twist. For those who have played the VN, they probably will enjoy it more... But yah... still not some "jawdropping" material.

MasterNeko

This anime doesn't make a lot of sense. You need to know that before u begin. They give u bits and pieces of the plot here and there but they're to few and far between. The story starts making a little sense late into the series but then abruptly ends. Although the last ep was very good in the action department. Actually that's how it is for most of this anime. The story doesn't make a lot of sense (until in the later episodes when u begin to understand a bit more), some characters are really fun and others are the bad kind of cliche,the art and sound is good and that makes the action very good. This is based off of a Visual Novel that apparently has around 60 hours of gameplay so if u wanted to understand the story better and faster you'd have to check that out. Their are 6 more episodes in an OVA and a prequel ep but since they're separate in MAL I'll have to review these eleven episodes. Overall the action is great and the story (when u start to understand it) is entertaining and actually has a couple twists and turns. I found this revie

Balsamina

This show is like what happens when a fanboi decides his favorite work isn't chuuni enough and needs to make it edgier. When I saw the prologue, I saw that this show was taking names from Galactic Heroes like Reinhard and Kircheis and trying to copy the Hellsing vibe, somewhat. Upon starting this, I realize this show, or its source, is just heavily influenced by other works in general, primarily Fate/Stay Night (a ginger haired guy with the name Shirou is literally in here amongst other story elements, like the Illya expy, the Taiga expy, the grail, the blonde waifu, people mysteriously dying in an obscureJapanese city... even Kirei and Gilgamesh share a combined expy). Art: 3 The design of characters and the like is overall cliche. There are almost no details to any of the backgrounds. The shading and characters are drawn with minimum detail. Sound: 4 Hardly anything worthwhile to listen to. Characters: 4 The three or so handful of main characters are fine, and this is factoring in the fact that this show ended literally without finishing the story. They feel real enough and relatable enough but a major problem is that a lot of the characters in this show, for anyone who has seen Fate/Stay Night, can tell you that they are effectively expies of someone in that other visual novel/anime that came out 3 years before this one did as a VN. What this means, is that the show's characters have an uncanny distinct lack of original vibe to them even though they could otherwise feel ok. Side characters wise, they don't get much development, and I guess that's kinda fine considering this show is literally incomplete. Story: 3 The numerous expies and borrowed elements aside, this show has problems storywise. The first being, that the main character doesn't really have any goals. His whole goal could be summarized as "the Joe Schmoe who wanted to just live normally but some extraordinary shit is disturbing his daily life". The initial onset of mysteries are intriguing to an extent but nothing really gets explained. The faux-Nazi characters who keep appearing aren't just edgy and pretentious with the faux-philosophy pickup lines, but in this adaptation/work, they literally exist as edgy things that never explained what their agenda is... making the whole 11 episodes feel super pointless and unmemorable. Enjoyment: 3 Serious, I mostly watched on to count the Fate expies. Much of this wasn't making enough sense/getting enough screentime to tell a proper story. Overall: This might have turned out okay despite the heavy borrowing of character tropes/ideas from another show if it had a higher budget. Unfortunately, this show can be described as someone's high effort fanfic to make an edgier Fate with an chuuni-er waifu and edgier villains all while skipping all the agendas that each character is supposed to have explained somewhere in the narrative.

To be as clear cut as I can be. I don't understand how people are thrashing this anime so indiscriminately, but I can say that most of the people there are not very well off in terms of what they might like. It wasn't confusing, misleading, nor was it jittery or broken in terms of plot. It went exactly as how the author intended, and to be honest, this one was a work of art. To actually understand it correctly, you need to watch it all, start to finish. That's the main problem with the group surrounding this. I think that's also why most ofthe people here have rated it poorly, as they don't actually conceive an opinion based on the whole, but rather bits and pieces. Think of it like this, a symphony. Something slow, melodious, but picks up and reaches that tempo of crescendo until it hits the climax, where it falls off and leaves those watching needing more. That's the kind of drive that I got from this. But I will say inexperience with literature can make it a little hard to follow, but that's also because you need to search for the plot directive while you follow, and the conclusion you reach in this particular work is simple. One might want to paint it something else, or to give it a name unfitting to what it is perceived, but that remains to what the watcher wants to learn from it. My opinion won't change, and will still be a 10/10 for myself.

nexeriv

What a disastet..... When I first saw the first episode I stoped watching this series. However recently I have been on spree and watching most animes I have on my list I have not seen yet, and unfortunatly for me this was still in my list... And too be frank I regret it soo much, I could have spent the time I wasted on this watching something good or masterbating. I highly reccomend if you have a choice between this anime and fapping, too go with the lader. utter garbage! I mean comeon, the story is shit, the characters are shit and the cinematography is awfull.Do yourself a favor and DON*T watch this garbage!

There are not many animes that look good on first sight and have interesting synopsis, but end up as something way worse than underwhelming or bad. It's just awful. The plot was confusing and messy, however even these two words are not enough to describe how much of a trainwreck Dies Irae was to watch. Every episode generated more questions randomly popping out from newly introduced characters or themes, without of course answering most of stuff that had happened earlier. Bad plot and chaotic writing could've been fixed a little by characters present in the show. Well, in this case they weren't. Characters are bland and actvery often in edgy matter. Both protagonists and antagonists didn't feel realistic, relatable or even likeable. Art style and effects? They were okayish. I had hopes to at least see good looking fights, but they were chaotic and not that good looking. Character designs were nothing special. Music and voice acting? Music wasn't bad, but felt to be used in random manner, as if creators thought "hey, let's put this classical music tune here, maybe it will fit what's going on on screen". Don't get me wrong, because there were moments where the music fit the visuals, but doe to chaotic plot I described earlier it's hard to tell whether most of scenes with classical music playing in the background actually fit the atmosphere. Why such low score? I think this show deserves it. It might look good and have few moderately good looking scenes, but it can't compensate all those elements that simply were sad to look at.

HagePotPotato

Here's the deal: This show is *MUCH* better than its rating. MUCH BETTER. However, that's not to say that the criticism it receives isn't also true. I think the plot, animation and music are pretty great overall. The supernatural Nazis in modern-day Japan plot was interesting. And the metal rock music during much of the series is a fitting touch. It is somewhat confusing, especially early on. But they do explain things further as the series continues. I also think some of the dialogue/monologues are kind of cheesy and unnecessary. This is a plot-driven show; I have no time for your "feelings". So I fast forwarded through thosescenes. Some of the MC's relationships and power-ups feel a little unearned. They often happen quickly without much training or explanation. You will need to also watch the 6-part OVA (separate MAL listing) in order to complete this series. I think this show is worth watching if the genre is something you're typically interested in.
