This anime is among my personal favourites. Not a mass episodic series like Naruto 200+, Naruto Shippuden 500 episodes etc...which i believe messes up story and context. This series have insane depth, dark and emotional and rather compact and easy to watch episodes & clear character arcs focusing on each protagonist/antagonist specifically made for them. This series stays "true" to the manga and makes more sense when compared to the first installment. A must watch even for non anime viewers.
