Having watched this for the second time through, I can safely say that this is the second best anime that I've ever watched (coming in close behind death note).
It has the perfect blend of comedy, seriousness, heartfelt moments and truly epic moments. The depth of the questions asked in this masterpiece are staggering as they take on questions of god, power, human sin, morales and ethics, governance and manipulation life and death, the list goes on. There are very few shows that go as deep as this very special anime does.
The character progression is executed to perfection with characters growing and changing throughout the entire show right before your very eyes, inverting there tendencies for wrong doing and growing out of them through a combination of love, common enemies and understanding of one another. The endings to all the characters feel satisfying and well deserved.
The plot twists and turns amazingly and always has you on your toes wondering what's going to happen next or how the brothers and there associates are going to get out of the sticky situations they get themselves into. Although outlandish the twists are never too much or too far fetched (considering how fantasy driven the whole series is in the first place) and always leaves me with a smile on how clever or how dastardly the plot twist was.
If I had to pick one fault with the show it would be the first 10 episodes. Although intriguing and necessary for character development, I believe that they build too slowly and go off on pointless tangents that are unnecessary and take away from the overarching and most interesting plot line.
To summarise, if you consider yourself a fan of anime, tv or film In general, then this is an absolute must see. It truly is a masterpiece worthy of all the praise and adoration that it gets.
