For once I agree entirely with your review. The first Ep is indeed a deal breaker though my first initial reactions to the somewhat hesitant since I felt here is another Exorcism series like Witch hunter Robin and bits of Blassreiter and BAM!!!! everybody dies even the Top gun Maverick guy if was funny all of sudden It reminded me of Elfen Lied - Peeps just dieing from the Word Go!!!! It was sweet. Furthermore I feel there is a lesson to be learn t by all Evil/Bad Characters out there in Anime. Its simply better just to Implant a little amount of distrust or even little involvement in the Enemy Camp and simply watch from a Distance while everything crumbles Tokyo Majin Gakuen Kenpuchou... hmmmm (eyebrow raised) Hell yeah. Spoiler Alert. Kinda liked how Kiri wasn't killed but rather got amnesia from the whole ordeal. Very unusual for me to make comments, I just felt I had to in this case.

"Originality" is hardly the term best associated with shounen mangas; popular mangas like Bleach have thousands of fans, despite the fact that it doesn't even try to break the mold of its genre. Honestly, how many of us have read/watched the beginning of a manga/anime, and found that its summary is "There once lived a normal kid whos life got screwed up when he met a supernatural chick"?

The manga starts off where the series ends - you get to see Kagura and the manga's male lead at the end of the series, and the anime does follow the manga's background plot, although the background is very loosely fleshed out in the manga, so the anime creators were able to take some liberties and deliver a solid series. Manga is pretty standard shounen fare, certainly much lower quality than the anime. Wonder if they'll make a sequel animating the manga storyline - hopefully they'll take a similar approach as they did here if it happens. (some spoilers follow)

Every ep delivered and that's no small feat considering the no. of themes and plot elements they were trying to weave into a short 12 eps. Solid storytelling indeed.

So it means it covers just the pre Yomi-arc?? Well, I agree with you with everything you say here , the first episode was too great for me to drop it even though after that it has some very boring parts but later episodes make up for it, very tense and some unexpected results for some fights , I have to say they did the action scenes well, sometimes it makes me on the edge of my seat, good job.
