Sick and tired of moe moe blob manga and anime? Want a manga/anime that actually has an amazing plot and story? Look no further. This is seriously one of the best series out there, and despite the fact that its been over for a few years the fandom (which isnt even that bad) is still going strong.
If you haven't seen this series go watch it OR read it, you wont regret it.
Issues:
1. The Live action movies are horrible.
2. The light novels aren't well written, but the characters in them are amazing so you will suffer through the horrible writing just for the sake of amazing characters.
3. The anime leaves out a lot of the reasoning in the second arc making everything seem like an ass-pull. The manga however does explain things fully.
4. The loudest people in the fandom are slash yaoi shippers. So be warned if your going to hunt for fanfiction or fanart.
5. The series is pretty short. It leaves you wanting more.
Good things:
1. The story is amazing. It'll suck you in and you won't even care, expect to watch the series multiple times because you will want to.
2. Amazing characters. The entire series has very gray v. gray morality and so you will find yourself sympathizing and enjoying almost EVERY CHARACTER. There are very few characters that will actually annoy you and ever those ones are subjective.
3. The fandom. Despite the high amount of yaoi slash that goes on there are still a ton of amazing people in this fandom.
4. The series is pretty short short. It ends before it gets annoyingly long, plus it means less for you to buy.
5. The dub isn't bad at all (only Mello's voice was really meh) and you can find it almost anywhere online.
6. The soundtrack is also amazing. The music is beautiful and has everything from creepy Latin chanting to ear-worm beats.
7. The animation in the anime is simply stunning. The pictures in the manga too, the artists really out did themselves.
Overall: Watch it. I have yet to meet a person who has disliked this series.
One of the best series ever
