This is my first anime review ever (I'm not a very dedicated watcher or anything) but I felt like reviewing the series is a nice way to reflect on it.
I just finished watching all 50 episodes and to summarize, I think it's pretty mediocre overall. The thing is that the drama gets forced on you all the time. The writers don't seem to pick their moments and push in entire character speeches, even in mid-action, about the characters motivation for fighting yada yada yada. Buzzlines like "you're still our family" and "I will protect you" get thrown around a lot. It isn't bad in itself
...
but they should pick their moments better.
The story is pretty neat, telling the struggle of two immortal sisters, one raised in a caring environment, the other only knowing hatred and bloodshed. Sometimes the characters are a bit flat (mainly due to those continuous speeches) but at least some episodes are dedicated to put some more life into them.
The action and animation are of a good level. The action is a bit repetitive, and the characters don't seem to get that shooting immortal creatures isn't going to help (even when doing it for the 20th time). The sound is decent although there's a lot of material being reused all the time.
So that wraps it up I think. Thanks for reading.
