My review:
One of the bests plot I've seen so far!!! I heard good things about it and started watching it a couple of times but couldn't get over a violence and blood that is the first thing you see. But finally I made and effort and I don't regret it at all!!! I thought anime was over after 4th episode but it kept going and I started to loose it. Did not get what's going on at all. Where is the truth and what's real and what's not. Then when I started to understand it a little and then I understood that I didn't understand anything at all!!! That's so awesome! My respect to authors. I'm so amazed who they could combine violence and kindness because it is one of the most violent and at the same time kind anime! The first season is just a mess. The second is not violent and explains what happened in the first one.
