Comment: I must say that this anime is full of adult contents and definitely is not for kids to watch. This anime doesn't just focus on human desire to satisfy themselves, but it also focus on the politic aspect. The storyline is very deep focusing on the two things that I've mentioned just now.There are violence involved as the story progress in order to hunt Kagura and Saiga which is I find it very disturbing especially for the kids. Overall, I find the story and theme is quite impressive so if you don't mind with what I said about this anime, feel free to give this anime a try. This is one of the anime that I find it worth a watch despite of its contents.
