•Comment:
Good plot. The battles between Battler Ushiromiya and Beatrice are very interesting. I have heard many compare it to Higurashi No Nako Koro Ni. Gets a little bit on the ‘drag’ side but a good watch indeed. People who love blood and gore and nasty ways of killing will love this series. It continuously keeps you guessing how the battles end. As usual for anime’s to have a terrible ending, this one will definitely leave you disappointed. In a nutshell, worth a watch!
