I found this to be an exceedingly good anime to watch. It delves fairly deeply into what motivates people, and just how necessary human interaction is for someone to grow and thrive. Another good touch point it reaches well is just how small and precious people are, and the way things can suddenly change or shift with a simple action. Another point of it is that it shows that even amidst the harshest things, people can still be kind to one another.

Also the ending was spectacular in my opinion.

While the real plot of this show doesn't come out until you're a few episodes in, the story is very engaging and pleasant. It doesn't dwell overly long on most subjects, and gives a fair amount of time to character development, something I deeply enjoy, as it delves deeply into the main characters motivation for their actions. As the story focuses primarily on Sara Werec, and her brother Ralph, it gives sufficient time to the other major characters. The plot, is fairly simple and easy to understand once it is laid out for you in about the tenth episode, but until then it keeps you ... fairly well hooked for the most part though some areas are over done. The animation of Strain is very high quality works well overall. The sound was fairly well made, the only thing that lowers my rating in this area is the fact that the action music could have been better.
