While I enjoyed the concept of this anime, I find there was not a lot of development. First of all, they expressed the background of most of the characters fairly well yet there was little to no growth of the characters through the entire anime. In fact, some seem to have gone backwards, from supporting of their comrade to suicidal and barely progressed back to the original state. As far as the story is concerned, it did progress, however, it also went slowly for a 24-episode series and stopped before a final battle. In fact, the last battle had a large build up of tension and ended suddenly as well as unclearly. I would also like to point out, if you intend to watch this for boy love you will be highly disappointed. Besides a build up of sexual tension there is no hint of romance. There is almost no bodily contact of any kind, actually. The main "couple" in fact has no romantical aspects at all, one is too busy stuck in the past, in love with the partners past life to develop any sort of relationship with the partner and the partner literally doesn't look the other ones way, as he is too busy obsessing over his "brother" whom he seems more romantically interested in then the supposed partner. All in all I feel it could have been a good anime but it was too rushed and focused too much on the past then the present, if there had been a second season that wrapped it up it would be fine. I did enjoy watching it, but wished it had been planned out a lot better. I am going to read the manga in hopes of a better outcome.
