This is not a show about characterisation or philosophy. Don't expect to see many life lessons being learned or instances of people changing for the better, or any deep exploration of the meaning of good and evil and so on. But what it does do - good dialogue, a solid plot and plans within plans - it does very well. This would be a good series for a smart and not particularly hormonal teenage boy - one who both believes in the power of awesome music and excellent voice-acting to make mundane actions epic and isn't too squeamish to be put off by... well, gratuitous death and epic handwriting and its best.
