It's one of those animes that you have to ask yourself at times "What the hell am I watching?" When you ignore all the gore and bad animation then you have a story that seems to grab your attention and you seem to get invested in. Personally I don't understand how in the world it is getting a 8.0 rating because I don't think it'sthat good with so many underlying problems like repetitive use of scenes and a confusing story, but there is no doubt that is anime is a joy to watch.
