Trivia:
Each episode's title is composed of two words. At the end of each episode, the second word of that episode is revealed to be the first word of the next. For example: A and B, B and C, C and D. The second word of the 25th episode is the first word of the first episode. The only episode to not follow this rule is the 26th episode, which was produced as an extra. more

Ryu Soma is no sissy like Shinji of Evangelion, 14 October 2006
8/10
Author: Jason (jtheimperfect) from United States

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This is a story about loss, regret and revenge. Living a happy College life with a beautiful Girlfriend(who doesn't talk much any guys dream!!!). It is all destroyed as Takuto is pulled into a world of chaos and danger. Born again as Ryu Soma to destroy the monster that has destroyed his love, and his life. Ryu Soma struggles with internal conflicts as he decides what path to take. Does he follow his hatred and destroy the monster? Or does he continue to fight by the monsters side to save the world? Some times responsibility really sucks!!!

With a quirky ending some might not like it, but the overall experience is still great. So give it a try.
