It's a fantastic adaption so far (season 1) with superb animation, voice acting and music across the board (that is consistent from ep1 to ep24), a near perfect fusion of so many great aspects from previous Shonen shows, has a cast of well written, fun and memorable characters (almost none of them are unlikable even the ones who seem annoying at first).

[Story] 9/10
The story opens really strong putting a twist on a known Shonen trope and it never lets up, it keeps consistently introducing new concepts and characters with very good pacing and a very good balance of fights and character development/worldbuilding all the way ... to the final episode, more importantly it is really great at subverting bad tropes of Shonen genre in clever ways (like characters revealing their powers to enemies), another great thing about this series is that it creates a strong connection between character growth and power growth, the characters grow more powerful as they gain deeper insights about their motivations and worldview, the horror/psychological aspects are the cherry on top, there is a decent amount of disturbing or straight up Cronenberg-esque body horror moments (specially scenes involving a certain villain), overall the story is solid and has very few weak points although it leaves some important questions unanswered which is expected since the series is still ongoing, hence the 9/10.

[Art] 10/10
There isn't much to say here other that it's quite amazing, the character designs are taken from the manga and updated in a very faithful and aesthetically pleasing way, the animation is crisp and the fight scenes are animated beautifully from the first fight all the way to the last, finally the two OP and ED sequences we got are very well made and never get boring to watch, hence 10/10

[Sound] 9/10
The music, sound effects and voice-acting are all very good, there are few memorable soundtracks but overall it's a very solid OST, nothing groundbreaking or out of this world that would warrant a 10/10, hence 9/10

[Character] 10/10
All the characters in the show are fantastic, whether it's the villains or our main characters or the sizable supporting cast, like I said before, they are all likable in their own way and they all get their moments to shine, and the tie between character growth and power growth makes those moments so memorable and impactful, though characters also do receive character developments through short concise flashbacks (usually animated in a different style for emphasis) and by the end of the series I frankly had at least +6 characters as my absolute favorites, I won't go into which characters or why to not spoil anything, but know that the characters in this show are some of the best in the Shonen genre (specially the female characters).

[Enjoyment] 10/10
All of the above makes this show an absolute delight to watch, highly recommended if you like well written Shonen shows that are willing to subvert common anime tropes intelligently, have great memorable characters and wonderfully animated fights, and don't mind a bit of horror mixed in, personally I can't wait for more.
