Code: Breaker

It's a good one for time pass. No complexity, a smooth flow of entertainment.. But this series ended up raising a lot of questions in my mind that definitely need Answers!

Firstly, regarding the Female lead Sakura. How was she a Rarebreed and what was the concept of a Rarebreed? Why Code Breakers' special abilities had No effect on her? What was her Origin? We can see a flashback of her past through her memories, but What actually happened, it's unexplained! How did she end up adopted by her foster parents? As she was a Rarebreed, why Code Breakers let her at the end?

And yeah another point that annoyed me throughout the series was when Sakura, a Martial Arts Expert, and knowing that Code Breakers won't be able to hurt her, acted totally helpless before them.. She wasn't even able to do the Basic Self Defense!

Secondly, What I came to know was that This whole trap was set to get the ultimate of Ogami! WHY? He having the most Dangerous and powerful ability, was ranked 6th, WHY? Because of his age or his late enlistment? He Restricted his powers, WHY? Prime Minister was up to him? WHY? Who he Actually was?

Would love to see a Season 2 that answers all my Questions.

I liked this show. It started off with a bang, with plenty of action, humour, interesting characters and excellent animation. However, I feel it could have been so much better if it had been aimed at a more adult audience. The show is essentially about vigilantes killing bad guys, yet the level of violence is suitable for young teens. I prefer more serious stuff, and think this show would have been awesome if they'd kicked up the blood and violence factor haha...but that's just me.

The show mostly revolves around Ogami Rei and Sakurakoji Sakura. Ogami is a Code: Breaker, a guy with special powers who kills bad guys the law can't get to. Sakura is a popular girl at high school who witnesses Ogami killing a whole bunch of bad dudes and freaks out when she sees him at her school the next day. She makes it her mission to convince Ogami that even bad guys deserve to live and that killing is wrong no matter who is on the receiving end. It's pretty cool overall, but I just wish it wasn't so 'teeny'.

Honestly if they had kept the show going it would have easily been at least a 7/10. Since they kept so many plot holes it really hurt the story. It was very good at exposing how close societies always are to war and destruction. An uncomfortable truth of life in the modern world. I mean in 2020 all over the world we all came to our knees. Sad but true.

Any how! The characters are all well defined almost black and white until the end. The show really does do justice to comradery and loyalty and I think that is really what marks this anime has having so much potential.

Though I wasn't looking for this type of anime it was a bittersweet find.

Interesting series for the strange characters that appear otherwise does not stray too far from other anime in the genre. The animation fails to replicate the style of the manga and the series fails to develop fully, indeed it stops after only 13 episodes.

A passable MC. Though the female lead is greatly disproportionate regarding her morals. Great action, could've been a bit more dark, but no complains. A non traditional villain. And it lasted for exactly as long as it should have.
