This mature animation series is full of surprise and very exciting. The plot is quite unpredictable and it also offers some funny scenes.
There are many things that you will not find in the traditional anime. Somewhat, it looks like Final Fantasy series but of course it is not. The costume designs are amazing and carefully designed. Some puppets look absolutely stunning and well, if they were real- would they be as hawt as their anime versions?
