Synopsis

Seigi, a martial arts trained middle schooler, often feels driven to protect the weaker people around him. One day, he defends a homeless man against some punks, and the man gives him a strange tattoo on his palm in return. The tattoo is a secret weapon produced in the arms race between America and the Serinistan Kingdom.

Seigi finds himself in over his head when a powerful girl, using the same secret weapon, violently pursues him in order to retrieve it. His skill at martial arts may not be enough to keep him alive, but will he be able to learn how to trigger the power of his tattoo in time?

Overall, I thought it was a great anime, I especially liked the main premise of the show, with the tattoos and special abilities.

What I didn't like was the ending, which I'm not gonna spoil here, but I think they should have done it differently. What I mean by this is especially the final fight. You'll get what I mean when you watch it...

But to end on a few good notes, I'd ...

Basically
The starting episodes from 1 to 5 was really good. But then the ending episodes just sucked pure and utter ass. The opening and ending songs are really awesome, since I discovered this anime through osu.
The anime started off with a strong beginning, strong buildup in episode 1, so it got you into the anime.
But then, from each episode to the next, you're absolutely lost, you have no idea what happened because they don't start from the scene from the previous episode but from a scene which is 3 days after that scene. The timeskip from episode 10 to episode 11 of 1 year was ...

The worst anime I ever had the displeasure of watching.

Never had to witness a more poorly written and generic anime in all my years of watching anime. It makes you wonder if they just picked up a random person off the street and asked them to write something real quick. This show is generic, taken to the absolute extreme. Years later, I still randomly get reminded of this anime and how it robbed me of my time.

From basically the first to second episode, all you are thinking is, "Is this some prank on the industry? Can an anime really be this bad? Are they ...
