This is my first ever review! I really wanted to write this review because this show really gets shit on by people. I am going to try to break down each category: Animation, Story, Music (OST, OP, ED), Characters, Overall Enjoyment

**WARNING, THERE MAY BO SPOILERS**

**ANIMATION** RATING: 5
For a shounen superpower thrilller, the animation is mediocre. It is not the greatest, but it is not the worst.

**STORY** RATING: 9
It's kind of tough trying to word how well written the story is. During the first episode, I was literally dying of boredom because of how shit it was in the beginning, but the plot twist at the ... end of the episode is what really got me hooked into the anime. It got me so hooked that it would make me really think at what Nana's next moves where and it would surprise me what she would do next. There are countless other twists and surprises throughout the anime that really make me scream "HOLY FUCK".

**SOUND** RATING: 6
The OST is mediocre at most, it really doesn't do much except be background music. The opening is a little bland. The ending is alright.

**CHARACTER** Rating: 7

Some characters you hate, some characters you love.

The main characters are really something, Nana is someone you really want to punch, but in reality she will kill you lol. But in all seriousness, Nana is a character that really makes me want to think and make me play detective while watching the show. Just wanting to know how her kill plays out and how she will manage to kill countless superpowered teenagers just by herself, while BEING powerless. When she was introduced, she said that her superpower was 'mind-reading'. But in reality, her only power is her brain, the way she can use mind-tricks to figure out what other people are thinking. The way she can manipulate people and get out of sticky situations really shows the 'gap' between Nana's mind and everyone's mind. Kyouya is like the L of this series. He has his reasons for trying to play detective, while other students don't.

Sometimes, the biggest turnoff of this show is when the students side with Nana, making you think that the students are really fucking retarded, but you have to understand the student's point of view. In their eyes, they view Nana as a charismatic leader. While on the other hand, they view Kyouya as some loner edgy guy. Just remember, the students aren't exposed to the same information compared to you, so really try to put yourself in the shoes of the students to understand.

**OVERALL ENJOYMENT** Rating: 10
This is like one of the very rare moments I actually enjoyed an anime 10/10. This anime really has me hooked and each week, I wait anxiously wanting to know how the next episode plays out. As previously mentioned, Nana's actions really made me play the detective to figure out how her next kill plays out.


**FINAL THOUGHTS** OVERALL RATING: 8
The story is great, but the anime is not the greatest. If only the anime had much better animation, a memorable sound, and played out in a better direction, the anime would've been a masterpiece. But so far, this anime only gets a 8/10. [Note: my calculations say that it is a 7/10 but Imma just bump it up because I love this show ;) ]
