In a near future world, after the last great war, most of mankind lives in a handful of city states. There, for the privileged elite, life should be perfect.

Banished to the outskirts of the city and stripped of all privileges for helping the mysterious stranger who has since disappeared, Shion now finds himself in even worse danger as his inquiry into a new series of mysterious deaths results in his being arrested on suspicion of murder!

Personal Ratings: 3.5
Very unique anime. At first when I first started to watch the anime, I found it weird and boring. Since the starting starts out a little slow, (and maybe a little weird even as you go on,) I really recommend that you continue to watch as it gets a lot more interesting in the later part of the show. 
I realise that shows about future unfair systems are in some way weird at first. (animes like Psycho Pass). They also usually show the system as unfair.

Like most shows that shows technology of the future, it is really fun to see how the producers think that the systems and gadgets would be like in the future. I really like to see the advancement and uniqueness of the future. However, unfortunately, this part of the anime does not really show or play a huge part of the anime. The anime is more about the psychology of the people who rule the country. Exciting and unexpected story line from the middle to the end.

This show maybe a little hard to understand, especially the random gay scenes. It's a little complex, especially when there is a change of pace from being very logical, to being a little more fictional. The relationships between the peoples may also be a little hard to understand (since they are not limited to only people but animals.) Abrupt ending, which left me kind of clueless as to what is happening. I'm hoping that there would be an OVA to see what happen to the two main character of the anime. (if they had went separate ways, or still continue to be together).


Art Ratings: 3
Nice art, though a little plain and lack originality. Love the animation. Really smooth action scenes.
