Although old by todays standards....., 21 February 2002
Author: makonxmonkey from Texas

it is still decent anime. It is EXTREMELY graphic (ex., Heads exploding, blood spraying and spine snapping) which would draw a number of people to it. FOTNS is light on plot but, it still stays true to it, through out the entire 27 episodes.
