Y'know despite the obvious parallels to a certain anime, this is shaping up to be a really promising series.
I don't know which anime you're referring to but with the including of the supposed villains and the MC personality. I'm getting GaRei : Zero vibe here.
Agreed with the GaRei Zero feels. If this one's going to end similarly, well, get ready for something horrible. What made GaRei Zero so heart-wrenching is the set-up leading to the corruption. This one, while feeling a bit rushed, gets the job done I guess. I'm keeping my eye on this one. I want to see where it goes.
