A Fun Action/Adventure Series

Keep in mind that I didn't play the video game or read the manga so I had no idea what to expect when I decided to watch this series. A lot of the action in the series centers around large battles that remind me a little of Beserk. There are also several characters that are especially adept at fighting, and they kind of serve as the "heros" of the series if you like to think in terms of LOTR type stuff. I was satisfied with how the story progressed and there is a good balance of action, plot, some humor and mystery on the side. The plot actually turned out to be more complex than I was expecting it to be, but I think it is more comprehensible than other shows like Darker than Black that tried to be thought provoking but ended up being too cryptic near the end. If I were to try and find a fault with the show (and there aren't many), it might be that there are a lot of cool characters that I would like to learn more about, but that is probably impossible without stretching the series out too much. In short, watch it. Its good times.
