I had high hopes for this series when it was first promoted. I looked forward to it and I enjoyed the first episode very much. I wanted to know more about this random guy that starts burning things in mysterious blue fires. I thought Sakura was going to be a cool female lead however things went down the drain. Not only did the anime decide to write its own ending different from the manga, it wrote a pretty bad ending. Things got really predictable for me. It seemed to blatantly obvious at this point that the villain of the story was an anti-hero and all the Code:Breakers had some reason to fight. I thought it was such a waste for Miki Shinichiro to voice Hitomi, the villain of the story because it was horribly executed (I mean the story horrible executed, not the voice acting). As I read the synopsis for the manga, I realize that many things were highly edited to the point the anime is only loosely based on the manga

Since so many things were edited out and new things were added, characters didn't develop fully and some characters weren't necessary to appear. The impression I get from just watching the anime is that EDEN, the organization that built the Code:breakers, is full of assholes that don't give a damn about anything. However in the manga, there's a little more to it and it goes in depth with characters. Sakura looked like a promising female lead, but she still falls into the damsel in distress category. She is in danger and unable to get out of it and Ogami Rei always has to save her. I see her character as a burden to other characters and even though she's in good spirits to provide moral support for others, it ends up being repetitive and boring dialogue that viewers do not want to hear. The end of the series dragged out and just didn't entertain. The climax wasn't that dramatic and it is assumed that things go back to normal for Sakura at least.

The animation's consistent and not too bad. They used some CG effects for special attacks. As I mentioned before, I thought it was a waste for Miki Shinichiro to voice in the series and the seiyuu cast was comprised of some well known voices. I only recommend this series to people that may have just started anime because there are a lot of similar stories out there. (show less)

After watching the last episode i feel really disappointed at the way the story took shape and at the way that i feel no connection to any character whatsoever, no background stories no surprises just a girl who bumps her "don't kill" ideal on a supposed to be non-emotional killer machine (who changes his way of thinking in a matter of a few events that got no impact at all...) and after the last episode the first thing that came to my mind is "that's it...?"

I hear this anime didn't follow the manga, so i guess this one is out of the many animes that got ruined during "false" adaptation of the manga (show less)

This is another anime when I read the fall anime list I circle thinking it sounded great. The idea and what they could have done with it seemed really interesting. Of course that was where it shined cause even though it does have some good animations overall it isn't more than an average anime.

Story wise felt like it needed to be developed more let alone finished in better fashion than they did. You have ideally to me a good concept for a main character who is high school kid who is close to heartless when it comes to judging evil, love that. On the other hand you have the main girl just constantly against him trying to stop him from killing these evil people, but in a sense how she follows him makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and she becomes utterly annoying. Seriously this maybe gets a better overall score if she actually tried distancing herself or didn't always have the stupid "you can't kill them" ideal. Animation was best part about the anime. You have really nice powers and flow in the animation with those powers that make it somewhat beautiful. Entertainment to me had its moments, but outside of the annoying girl, there were times you wanted to see more fighting with powers and less "hey how are you today" conversations.

Another fall action anime and to me another underwhelming turn. There isn't an action anime from the fall I can say you need or should see. This is another anime you can put low in your anime watching queue cause there are better anime out there to watch. (show less)

Why you shouldn't watch Code:breaker:-
1- They are called Code:breakers while in anime there is nothing about code breaking.. they just named it cuz they though its cool
2- You understand that everyone have a special ability then u find them do wierd skills, eg: The light user can create illusions that have the same skills as him !! .. sound wave user can fly !! .. shadow user can make shadow shield !! ..etc
3- The villain was originally a good guy protecting people , then he became the bad guy killing people for no good reason !!
... If you don't believe me, u can waste you time as u like :) (show less)
