joelherro this was definitely a fun anime...great animation, fun characters, interesting story and i really liked how they parody other animes...'Needless' are people with special powers living in 'the black spot', areas left devastated after world war 3...Simeon pharmaceuticals is hunting and killing these needless, with their ruthless leader Adam Arclight and his group of evil needless being stronger than everyone else...the only ones strong enough to oppose Simeon pharamceuticals is Adam Blade and his group of good needless...the best thing about this show is how they rip off and pay out clichés from other animes...its funny, bloody and full of swearing...i liked it...check it out
Dan Geary This title surely is a typical looking anime. Half clothed girls, vile language, and gore. But that's how it looks.The story revolves around young Cruz Shield who "fought" with a resistance group fighting against a massive company. All five hundred resistance members where killed. Only Cruz and his sister got away. I guess this could be a spoiler, but his sister dies quite early on in the episode. So he joins forces with a priest that saved him from an assassinating robot.In my opinion this anime is very ignored. The fighting scenes are well done, the comedy always makes me laugh, and it can be very serious. The only thing this anime does that I don't like is that it can be very repetitive at the later episodes. I find most of the plot twists very surprising. Unfortunately, this is one of those shows that you have to watch from the beginning to end to truly understand. The entire 24 episode series is quite pitiful in dubbed version, yet it's still really great voice acting.This is one of my favorite anime to be out. I highly recommend this to most Full-metal Alchemist and Angel Beats! fans because of the sometimes bittersweet scenes and the way it make you think after you finish it.I hope this helps you to decide to watch or buy this show. Thank you and good bye.
