Couldn't get into it. It's like I've seen it all before. Many anime is like that but they always do something different. This one on the other hand felt like it didn't know what it wanted to do, that was after watching the first 10 or so episodes. It felt unfocused. The animation is great. That's like the best thing. I really wish Shinra's motivation was something else other than saying 'he wants to be a hero' . When he does that it feels very cliche. Like I said, seen it all before
