Dead Mount Death Play

Here is one word - Complicated. I think that would describe the show best. It's a hidden gem. Don't get me wrong, a lot of people are going to complain there are too many character introduction without backstory. But that is exactly what makes this show as an amazing piece of art. The backstory is always limited to keep the pace of the show constant. There is always start, story, battle, and then an epilogue. I would go as far as to say I love the writer. This was not a simple story to write. From the complexity point of view of the story I would say it's 8/10. But the main theme is the pace. 10/10. I would love is all anime was Acker to keep up the powder like this. Not a single episode is boring, or a filler so far. And every episode is evolving one after another. Plus the beginning of it also was surprising. I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed that we get more seasons of this show. Do watch it till the episode 24, and then you'll realise it. First 3 episodes will feel like a drag, but that's how the pace is designed or rather directed.

This was a let down. It's too populated with disjoint storylines which makes it very hard for me to follow the plot or root for any character. It had potential. The plot is interesting. But we just don't get any answers. We just keep getting more questions and more plotlines that aren't in any way connected to the previous one. And I was actually looking forward to this given that it was made by the author of Durarara and Baccano.

But it's possible that if these main characters were interesting, I wouldn't have paid that much attention to the plot. Unfortunately they weren't. They were just shallow, with 1 or 2 traits carrying their personality. A few side characters were a bit more interesting. But because of so many plotlines running together, none of them gets sufficient screentime.

Studio Geek Toys did a good job with the sound design and the action sequences. But other than that nothing really stood out and I thought they could've done just a bit better.

Overall, I'm dropping the series now. Although I wonder if it'll get another season or not. Maybe the manga has more to offer.

Mysterious, hilarious and wholesome When you first start watching its confusing, then as it unfold the mystery keeps me on my toes as we follow the cast of characters who are sweet, batshit crazy or both in their respective rights.

It's actually really refreshing and most satisfying thing to watch the plot unfold and realizing that the odd thing you saw earlier is actually a huge part of the plot - mind blowing.

The humor absolutely gets me everytime, with the characters just being themselves. They have interesting personalities that I can't help but adore! I'm excited for them to explore their stories in season 2, but am also disturbed by the low IMDB ratings which often mean there won't be a 2nd season if people don't give this more love.

This Anime is an awesome mix of fantasy and modern world. On Crunchyroll its given 4.7, so I don't understand this IMDb rating.

It contains assassins, detectives, a powerful family and people who've transcend human capabilities - what is there not to like.

I used to love the series and almost gave 8 stars. But when the second season come out i decided to downgrade it to 2. Just like durara this also revolving around same point.so many unnecessary characters. The back stories are not clear on any characters. No character development and also no story development.

Same thing happens every day.soliture comes and do some trouble. Every one dancing around it scene ends. That's how all two seasons end. Don't ever recommend it to any one. Foremost it's really boring to watch and i get a huge let down with each episode.

This is basically supernatural nonsense with too many characters in it.
