" Dark, gritty, and powerful, this isn't your typical anime".
I can't put in words on how amazing this anime was, it really caught me by surprise. The music was absolutely amazing, especially the opening which got me hyped, the visuals were well done and I didn't really have any problems with it. The tone or the vibes this anime was gave off was crazy, sometimes I would be happy, sometimes sad, I almost cried one time also. The attention to detail this anime gave was amazing, how post war japan was like and the trials and tribulations the people had to go through. I was moved by what the people had to go through, it feels real because it is based on things that actually happened and so I was really connected with the characters. The plot and the pacing was well done, it wasn't too slow or too fast. A single episode wasn't wasted and had some meaning to it. The themes this anime discusses include friendship, humility and perseverance, and they did it in way that wont hurt the plot, characters, or the story. It really is a true slice of life anime...
Overall it was really done, I loved it and I really enjoyed it, top 5 anime that I have watched so far. Things that I had slight problems with it include telling more about their origin stories, I felt like the some of the 7 main characters didn't get enough spotlight. They should have done a couple of more episodes based in the juvenile centre because it felt pretty short, and some interaction with the other inmates. Lastly some parts were questionable and unanswered.
