I saw some pics of Ga-Rei Zero tonight and rember what a good anime it is. I heard about it in a forum and my firts thouts were "Oh, well I run out of any good animes with little episodes, why not to watch this one, it is not much of an deal anyway". But then I didn't know that that's not another lazy, boring anime with fights here and there. At start I was a bit confused with the story and the first 1-3 eps but when the main story take place I was shocked. This fascinating, complex and still interesting story revolving around ... two friends and the human soul which can not overcome some things.
I think the 12 episodes where too little for a story like this.
But this can certainly be forgiven because all the attention may finally be concentrated in Kagura and Yomi. Dynamics around them, comedy, action, the bond between them that would strengthened with each passing episode and then simply merge with nothing and only the memory remains. The whole anime is a good example of what can be done only by one or even innocent-looking, human mistake and how fragile is the relationship between two people.

In the Art all that I didn't like were the "invisable" demons. However the main characters were beatiful and the battles - very well made.

It was a good thing that the OP and ED had comed around 3 ep and didn't show right from the begining the main characters. The music during the battles wasn't bad too.

Overall Ga-Rei Zero is a nice anime, with good sense and insight into human life and emotions, with not that little action and comedy too. Definitely worth watching.
