I'm not going to lie.. this series is completely predictable! Yet it still manages to rise above itself and be REALLY good (specially when compared with the latest Ashita no Joe ANIME, which does everything wrong aside from having a decent intro theme beginning).
I've seen too many stories to be able to predict what will happen next.. or in a way, how I think it should be. It's a mix of experience and desire. And my "faith" here was rewarded! But that's not the only thing about ANIME or stories in general. If it was, I could easily summarize/write one myself. A real story can only come to life by the work of a lot of people, lines of dialogue, animation, design, details and beautiful moments. This series takes the core concept of evolution and interactions, and executes it the right way. It loves every piece it gives you, and respects them accordingly. There are no wasted moments, or characters.. everything exists for a reason. And it builds upon itself.. like a reverse pyramid! It takes you higher and makes your blood pump.
It is not perfect. I would only criticize the character of Natalia, which feels too annoying and generic at times.. like it doesn't belong.
And I'm afraid of where it may go moving forward.. but as it is, I'm glad to say it wasn't a waste of my time like almost everything else new that's come before it.
