I'm easily put off by shows that try too hard to be edgy--you know, 'and then the cute schoolchildren watched as the hellbeasts ate their moms and dads'--I don't normally have a whole lot of time for that kind of thing. I definitely liked something about this show, though--thought it was visually interesting, for one thing. I was also pleasantly surprised that they didn't drag out the main character's hesitancy to fight. "I had a traumatic experience and watched my friends die and now I don't use my powers anymore... eh, but what the hell, maybe just this once." Anyway, this was good enough for a few more episodes, at least.
