This story is a masterpiece in the making.
Before I get started, if you are homophobic then this is not for you but if you are normal then please keep reading.

I know I am biased, as a gay person I don't get to read a lot of stories that are written by people who truly understand what it is like to realise that you are gay at a young age. The fear of societal repercussions and rejection by your friends and loved ones is immense.
The author has beautifully weaved these feelings into the character of Yoshida in addition to the horror that we experience ... as he wrestles with his love for Hikaru and the ominous threat that Hikaru represents.

I won't say much more due to spoilers, this is beautifully drawn and well thought out with good horror please read it.

So, I have some complaints.

Half the reason I started the manga was the art, the art was incredible by the standard of what I had read at the time. The anime does not do it justice, someone else had mentioned that the fights are powerpoint presentations and that is definitely a good assessment.

Heimdall has more effort put into his horn blowing than most of the fights so far which is incredibly disappointing.

After devilman crybaby and castlevania I would have expected similar quality of animation from netflix.

The studio made Hellsing Ultimate and Arslan Senki which both have pretty good animation and style ... which surprises me that they flopped so badly on actually making the characters move. The point of a tournament/fight anime is to capitalise on hype and sakuga, this show failed to do that. Here is to hoping that they redo it and make an apology.
