    Amazing story and animation

    The story doesn't seem that interesting at the start but it gets really interesting as it goes on.Especially the back stories and how they have been narrated is great. The animation is really good and the fight scenes are great. Overall it is an interesting anime to watch if like to watch action with a great story

    1st half goodish, 2nd half great

    I finished it this weekend, all 36 eps. of it. Now, this is a good anime, even though the 1st half of it is more like a 7/10 because it's a bit sophisticated but also dumb. The main blue haired, blue-eyed young woman protagonist is seen everywhere, like there's 3 or 4 of them and you just don't know why! There was even one episode where I FF through most of it, but then, as you go past the middle and into the 2nd part of the anime, it's worth the wait.

    Everything clears up and goes right there with the best of them - a 9/10 - classic japonese well-drawn shounen drama, that has even some inspired writing, especially dialogue-wise. I always considered anime lacking in dialogue quality but not in the 2nd part of this one! You get nice graphics, decent fights, more than one tear upon occasion, overall it's good enough to be recommended. So recommended.

    How can one cry for flesh grinding, blood sucking automatons/machines? They start out so disgusting, cold and idiotic, but finish out being just as sorrowful and keen for embetterment as any human; just like children given the wrong education/programming.

    Why I gave 10 stars

    I know the first 12 episodes are quite boring but after EP 28 I really started loving this anime caz it has a lot of deaths but every death touched my heart ! Every death is a masterpiece ! But yeah the ending was not satisfying 🙄🙄 and it has good animation but not as good if we will compare it to 2018 but still it's has awesome story and super crying scenes !! So it's worth of 10 stars if you are willing to watch it so go and watch it's some of the most finest and best anime you will ever see!!

    An Original yet bring a lot of memories

    A quite fast pace anime with good storyline and high possiblity. A lot of mysteries surrounding and have strong lead character. Make you want to reaf the manga 1st to understand more about the story.

    I can't get where story going

    The Story in first episode is look good but after introduction of automata it mess up hard what part is big part of it. And thing go that you don't know, like how sirogane separate from child which she suppose to protect. It also original I guessing there is no vision form start. So they made thing on spot and probably they even know what happen next.
